Detailed Condition Report
Vinyl (VG+): The record presents well with a clean, glossy black surface. The white Slash labels are clean with no writing, stickers, or spindle damage. Visually, I see no major scratches — only possible very faint hairlines visible under direct light, which is typical for a record of this age. I have not play-graded this copy, but based on its appearance, it should play with minimal surface noise and no skips.
Cover (VG): The front cover features the classic black-and-white band photo with the vibrant blue/red "THE BLASTERS HARD LINE" logo. Light edge wear and minor corner softening are present. A small price sticker ($3.99) remains in the upper right corner — this is common used-store residue and does not affect the cover structurally. The gold promo stamp in the upper left is clearly visible and reads: "Lent for Promotional Use Only. Any Sale or Unauthorized Transfer is Prohibited and Void..." — a desirable feature for collectors. Light ring wear is present. The spine is fully readable with catalog number 1-25093 visible. No seam splits.
Inner Sleeve (VG+): The original printed lyric inner sleeve is included and in excellent shape — no tears, writing, or significant staining. Includes full lyrics, band credits, and a photo of Gene Taylor.
Notes
Ships from a smoke-free, pet-free home. Record will be removed from the cover for shipping to prevent seam split damage. The promo stamp is a legitimate manufacturing mark from Slash/Warner Bros., not a later addition.
Shipping
Will be securely packaged in a proper vinyl mailer with cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrap protection. Record removed from jacket to prevent seam splits during transit. Ships via USPS Media Mail with tracking.
