R.E.M. - New Adventures In Hi-Fi 2x LP 1996 Original US Warner Bros. Rare OOP

$

67

1996 US double vinyl pressing on Warner Brothers Records.  Limited pressing and hard to find these days.  Bought second-hand and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment.  Some cover imperfections, but still a very nice copy of this scarce set.    

• VG+ gatefold cover has no seam splits and no edge wear.  Spine is strong with no wear.  Corners are strong and sharp but there is mild corner wear and a bottom right corner ding. (photo)  There is a stain in the top right corner where a sticker was removed (photo)  There is a crease at the top right (photo) and the back top left.  

• EX vinyl has minor sleeve scuffing that will not effect the sound quality.  No other marks of any kind.  Very close to NM.  Really nice copy.

I am a lifelong vinyl collector (49 years old) and just starting to sell off my very large collection.  Much tender loving care has gone into this collection.  I have digitally archived all my albums.  These are what I listen to, so most of my LPs bought new have had very few spins.  All have been stored upright in 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeves in a smoke-free environment.  Many more rare and hard to find collectibles to be listed.  Stay tuned!

Grading is visual only and conservative (using Ebay categories):
Mint (I almost never use this grade unless it's sealed) means perfect Near Mint means just shy of perfect Excellent means light wear, or a couple light marks Very Good Plus means more significant wear but nothing serious, or more than a couple light marks and/or a few hairlines Very Good has more serious wear but it's definitely not garbage, has marks and hairlines
