Description
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
SEALED, MINT original US pressing from 1986 on EMI America!!! Cover has a small top right hand corner promo hole and LP is obviously mint. INCREDIBLY hard to find a still sealed original pressing. Auction also includes a pair of ULTRA RARE original rigid, two-sided, in-store 12" X 12" promotional displays put out by EMI America with a copyright date of 1986 and a glossy album cover image of the Please LP on the rear!!! I bought these from a former Tower Records manager here in Chicago who was a big Pet Shop Boys fan and decided to rescue them from the Tower wall for her own private collection (which was staggeringly impressive). She told me that 99% of these displays were either tossed after they were displayed or never displayed at all and then tossed. Tower staff saw them as disposable swag and clutter and as a result very few survived from the 1980s. I sold one of these recently and these two are the last of them. These are the kind of rare items Pet Shop Boys fans are going to be fighting over in the very near future so don't sleep. You will never see another lot like this again.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR: FILLER COPY ONLY. LOTS OF SCRATCHES
