RARE 1st Pressing August Burns Red "Rescue & Restore" LP Gold Swirl Color Vinyl

$

600

Welcome to Alls Fun N Games! I'm very pleased to see you! Especially because I have something extra special in my Shop which has been predominantly TCG based. This extremely rare vinyl! From the year 2013, a FIRST PRESSING of "Rescue & Restore" by August Burns Red pressed in Translucent Gold with White Swirls with pictures taken under varied lighting to show off the swirl denoting the exact pressing. The album comes to you as a beautiful gatefold x2 LP with a linernote containing lyrics, an inner sleeve per disc, and an outer sleeve for added protection. The cat# is hand etched on the runout "TNV000002"

!IMPORTANT! The entire vinyl run was limited for this album and was US ONLY. 

The ONLY year "Rescue & Restore" was pressed was in 2013. In fact, it hasn't been available from a private seller since sometime last year in any of the pressing versions. 

I simply can't stress how rare it and this occasion are. I will likely never own any of the pressings ever again. And it will probably be a few years before another one becomes available ANYWHERE.

As a former collectibles authenticator it's my goal to eliminate significant disparities between the usual condition grades and take out much of the guess work so my Grade Scale scores in tight increments to provide a clearer picture of the vinyl, jacket, and bonus material being appraised. It may border on the ridiculous to note imperfections to such a detail, but it's best to know what you're buying before you actually buy it. And since I don't sell past -EX (Excellent Minus) you'll get an idea what you won't be seeing in my shop! In doing so I can provide the best customer service possible.

This is a general criteria Grade and not indicative of the actual purchase, but SOME or ALL the conditions of this Grade will definitely be met by your Vinyl, Jacket, and/or Bonus Material. Because vinyl, jackets, and bonus material are rarely matching conditions, the below conditions are broken down into those categories to better represent the individual pieces.

!! Disclaimer !! I DO NOT SELL PAST -EX CONDITION. I only include the last severe grades to make examples of what you WON'T BE SEEING in your actual purchase. If I feel a Vinyl/Jacket in my possession cannot be sold I will instead include it randomly as a freebie with your purchase as they become available.
