TOM WAITS HEART ATTACK AND VINE 1980 ASYLUM 6E-295  First Pressing in MINT-Played Once to TRANSFER TO OPEN REEL TAPE*. (PURCHASED AT A HIGH-END RECORD STORE MANY YEARS AGO HERE IN NYS) *PLAYED ONCE TO TRANSFER TO OPEN REEL TAPE RECORDER*
*BETTER THAN SEALED IN MANY CASES ( THAT IS, IF YOU INTEND TO OPEN! ;-} AS THIS PUPPY WAS CHECKED FOR EGREGIOUS FACTORY DEFECTS WHILE RECORDING BY A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN WITH A DISCRIMINATING EAR. WILL BE SENT TO YOU IN A FRESH HIGH QUALITY ANTI-STATIC ROUND BOTTOM INNER SLEEVE ALONG WITH A NEW COVER SLEEVE,AS WELL.  IF THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS SHOWN IN PHOTOS, THAT WILL BE YOURS, AS WELL. PLEASE PARDON THE REFLECTIONS FROM THE HIGH INTENSITY MAGNIFIER LAMP. BEST I COULD DO TO PROPERLY SHOW THE CONDITION AS CLEARLY AS POSSIBLE. SOME DUST MAY BE PRESENT; MOST OF THE TIME, I ONLY USE A DISCWASHER BRUSH & ANTI-STATIC BRUSH.
However; I DO have DECADES of experience in properly cleaning vinyl, if I think it's necessary. I will accept returns as per eBay's Protocol; Once I have received the LP in the exact condition (copious close-up photos on-file;-} as when sent, a full refund will be made.  PLEASE NOTE: THE "V"  PATTERN REFLECTION SEEN OF THE VINYL IS FROM MY HIGH INTENSITY LAMP'S REFLECTED HOUSING. PLEASE PARDON THESE CONSISTENT REFLECTIONS FROM THE  MAGNIFIER LAMP.  HOPING TO SHOW EVERYTHING AS CLEARLY AS POSSIBLE.
(MY "BLURB" As a Professional Player for almost 30 years, most of my Collection was purchased New. Most of my Collection has been Both visually examined, professionally cleaned & carefully listened to for defects*; IF THE RECORD SOUNDED GOOD , it was then transferred to my Revox A77 open reel, simultaneously to my Nackamichi Cassette recorder, as well ;-} so that the many bands I worked with could learn the tunes we played for a Living.  ULTIMATELY, I ENDED UP WITH LESS OCCUPIED STORAGE SPACE WHEN TRANSFERED TO 10.5" OPEN REEL TAPE ;-} SOUNDS GREAT; GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME AT THIS TIME. HEY, I WAS A RECORD NUT COLLECTOR! LIKE I SAID; MANY WERE NOT EVER PLAYED, AS I WAS PLAYING 5 TO 6 NIGHTS A WEEK MOST OF THE TIMES. ( BTW; I ALWAYS HAD TOP-GRADE EQUIPMENT with fresh, high end stylus for my table, AS I ALSO DID HIGH-END SYSTEMS INSTALLATIONS HERE IN WESTCHESTER,NY ;-} AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS; CLEAN, TIGHT SPINDLE HOLES, MANY WERE EITHER PLAYED ONCE OR TWICE OR NOT PLAYED AT ALL! I WAS VERY BUSY AS A PLAYER THOSE DAYS. EITHER WAY; My M.O. WAS TO STORE MOST OF MY FAV. LPs IN PROTECTIVE VINYL SLEEVES, THEN STORING SEPARATELY THE ORIGINAL SLEEVES,INSERTS,POSTERS,ETC. I STILL HAVE MOST OF THOSE ITEMS which will be sent to the NEW OWNER, INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE WHEN POSSIBLE.
If it's NOT PURCHASED NEW, I will describe it as such.  FYI; Been around vinyl collecting since the 1950's. Purchased both Private Collections, from stores where friends worked, received many LPs as gifts, etc.    I WILL BE LISTING RECORDS FROM MY WAY-TOO LARGE COLLECTION AS TIME PERMITS, BUT FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF U R LOOKING FOR SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR! * CRAZY-NOTE CLOSER TALE:  I WAS A PERFECTIONIST WHO FREQUENTLY EXCHANGED A BAD COPY FOR A BETTER COPY; For example: I TOOK THE BEE GEES 1ST ALBUM BACK ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES AS IT WAS SO "DECCA-LIKE" WITH POOR PRESS-QUALITY! BEST ALBUM THEY EVER DID! FINALLY, "FOOD FOR THOUGHT". In actuality; These "OPENED & TRANSFERRED" records are one more level of Quality Control,  as my Obsessive Perfectionism those days insisted that the record passed the test when recording to open reel & cassette simultaneously. PLEASE NOTE: There is no guarantee that a "FACTORY SEALED" LP will not have any Factory defects (some sellers indicate "sold AS-IS" ;-} These have passed my "Mustard" and been professionally cleaned before sending to remove any pressing debris,residue or particulate.
