RKL Greatest Hits Double Live In Berlin AUTOGRAPHED BY BAND 2x LP with Booklet, NM!
One owner! From the collection of Gary X Indiana.
From Wikipedia: Rich Kids on LSD (RKL) was a Californian hardcore punk band formed in 1982 in Montecito, California, a suburb of Santa Barbara.  "When we first started, we wanted to sound like RKL. Without RKL, there wouldn’t be a NOFX. Well, there might be a totally shitty NOFX... RKL was the band that we would always be in the shadow of." - Fat Mike.
RKL was to hardcore punk rock what the Mahavishnu Orchestra or Return to Forever were to, oh, the Grateful Dead, let's say... that is, a whole new dimension. Dudes raised the bar to a level way up in the stratosphere and had it all to themselves. This album captures them at their PEAK. Owner hung out with them a bit - Barry for the most part, since he was a consistent presence in the SF scene for many years. No memory (kids, don't do what we did, moderation is cool) of the occasion when this album was obtained and autographed, which must have been around when it came out, and probably at an RKL show in SF. It may have been played a few, a dozen times, hard to say. Not many, then it's been in a box for decades. Details of the condition:
VINYL: NM.  Sound is nearly pristine, with just a few light pops overall.
Side 1 some very very superficial and hard to discern scratches Side 2 a group of short to 1/3" lateral superficial scratches upper left Side 3 pretty much like side 1 Side 4 several short superficial scratches on bottom left
COVER:
NM. No ringwear per se, just very slight disc impressions on outer surfaces. No rips, tears, scuffs, scrapes, stains. A FINE German product, and still glossy-fresh. Top and bottom edges have a few little stress marks. Bottom of spine has been sort of dented inward slightly, top of spine has a small crease on the front. Top right of front has a couple of slight bends. Inside of gatefold has a couple of slight stress marks toward the right edge.
Inner sleeves/inlays: They're like from Deutsche Grammophon! Something you'd put Beethoven in! Nice bright white paper lined with clear plastic inside. No yellowing, no damage to speak of.
