Description
Teenage Fanclub is an influential Scottish alternative rock band formed in Bellshill near Glasgow in 1989. Often celebrated as master pop craftsmen, they pioneered a signature blend of jangle pop, alternative indie, power pop, and folk-rock. The band broke through globally in 1991 when Spin Magazine famously named their landmark album Bandwagonesque the Album of the Year over Nirvana's Nevermind.
This original UK first pressing of their debut LP "A Catholic Education" was released on Paperhouse Records (Catalog Number: PAPLP004) on 11 June 1990 and features a glossy gatefold picture sleeve.
An 11-track LP that features a raw, guitar-heavy indie sound blending proto-grunge noise with melodic pop sensibilities.
The Cover is in Very Good Plus (VG+) condition. The record is in Very Good Plus (VG+) condition and has been ultrasonically cleaned, play tested (lovely sounding), and will be sent in strong vinyl record packaging to ensure safe delivery.
I USE THE FOLLOWING FOR GRADING MY VINYL:
Mint (M)
Absolutely perfect in every way. Certainly never been played, possibly even still sealed.
A nearly perfect record. A Near Mint or Mint Minus (M-) record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections doing playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A Single or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyrics sleeves, etc.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps and light ring wear or discoloration.
VG+ covers might have some seam wear or a small split. May have some defacing, slight wear and slight corner wear.
Very Good (VG)
A VG record can have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.
VG covers may have ring wear, writing, tape and sticker placement. Creases might be more visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious. Labels may have wring on them or slight damage.
Good Plus (G+)
The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the sleeve is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious tape or small rip damage.
Good (G)
A record that has been heavily played and may skip a little. There may be noticeable noise or distortion on the recording. Cover can have ring wear, seam splits, extensive tape and writing.
Fair (F) - Badly warped, lots of noise and multiple skips or repeats. Sleeve may be badly ripped and not together.
