This is THE CLASH Sandinista! 3 LPs on Epic Records E3X 37037  USA Stereo, first pressing from 1980. Three record set.  Includes a 3 paneI ,foldout insert that includes lyrics, credits and cartoons. Also comes with a hype sticker that was originally attached to the shrink wrap surrounding the record. I have placed it in a poly sleeve and taped it inside the outer sleeve in the original location. See last photo. It is not attached to the cover. Not sure which pressing plant this record came from. The dead wax has the message that continues onto all six sides "IN SPACE...NO ONE...CAN...HEAR...YOU...CLASH!".  All sides stamped STERLING.

More info can be found on Discogs.    I can get you the matrix info if you want it.                                                                                         Grading: a modified Golmine. NM,EX, VG++,VG+, VG, VG-, G+,G, G-, F, P     

The COVER  EX   Lightest of shelf wear.  A couple short creases on the front. No splits.  No writing. No bends. There are no delete marks  or cut outs. No tape. Pretty solid.   Really NM (not M). Nice centered titling on the spine. No corner bumps.                                                                                                                                                       

The VINYL  VG++  Play graded. This vinyl gets a NM for sound quality. Just listened to all six sides and I  didn't hear any extraneous noise. I don't have upper end equipment but I  never heard any pops or anything. Nada. Not even between songs or in quiet passages. Visually, there are sleeve scuffs from sliding the discs in and out of the sleeves. More than likely,  the scuffs are from the factory from their handling of uncured vinyl. I used to see scuffs on brand new records that I  just opened.  Thes marks are superficial,  not affecting the playback. Awesome sound quality. I think even audiophile quality,, even though it is a used record. This record  has not been played much. Crank it up . Checked the discs for any warping and all discs are flat.   No scratches. Sounds NM. Looks VG++.                                                                    

The LABELS  NM  No writing.  No spindle hole wear.. No spindle trails. Possibly only played a couple times.

The SLEEVES  VG+  generic plain paper                                                                                                                                                 

All records will be mailed in sturdy, recycled record specific mailer boxes with extra padding.  Discs will be removed from jacket  to eliminate splitting caused by transit shifting.  I use USPS Media mail.  I am happy to combine shipping. The first album is $4.99.   Up to 3 more, free, IF you ask for a combined invoice when finished shopping and BEFORE PAYING.  Thanks.
