Description
Chef Raekwon , Ghost Face Killer – Only Built 4 Cuban Linx - 2 x Vinyl LP - 1st US Pressing #RARE# WU-TANG CLAN
Very hard to come by, this is the first US pressing on double vinyl.
Condition:
Outer sleeve is very good, clean and intact, just a few dinks on the corners (see photos). Inner generic white sleeves are also in very good condition. Record one has one small hairline scratch (see photos) and does not appear deep. Other than that I would say both sides are super clean and look unplayed. Record 2 is super clean and looks unplayed.
A superb investment, this record just keeps on climbing in value.
This is a genuine auction so starting bid is only 99p!
I am a true honest record collector (or at least I like to think I am!) and have spent the last 40 years of my life hunting car boot sales, charity shops, etc. for the thrill of finding 'holy grail' records for 50p then storing them away for a rainy day, never to even look at them or play them! Well, I have now reached an age where I actually love listening to the records that I genuinely love listening to and have found that I have a ridiculously sizable collection that I will never play and have no-one around me to pass them on to when I am gone. Therefore I be auctioning most of my collection at bargain hunting prices to hopefully get the thrill of the holy grail hunt going again.
This item will be packed securely and safely and I will use Royal Mail Tracked 48.
I will also include a plastic polythene outer sleeve to help ensure the record stays pristine for decades to come.
Please check all photos before bidding, if you have any questions at all please get in touch.
