Description

Scarce UK pressing from 1996 on Jet Records.  This was an import-only release, no US pressings.  Criminally overlooked, this might be the best in their string of outstanding 90's albums.  Mark E. Smith put together a great line-up and great production for this one.  Bought new and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment.  Played very few times for digital archiving purposes.  Nice copy.   

  • EX cover is clean with no markings.  Edges are strong, but there is a 2" seam split on the bottom edge (photo).  No other wear along bottom or top edge.  Spine is strong with no wear, but there are two small creases (photo).  Corners are strong and sharp with no wear.  Shame about the seam split.  Without it this would be NM.  Still a nice cover.
  • NM vinyl is clean and glossy with a couple of very light sleeve scuffs on each side.  Faint surface scuffs that do not effect play quality.  Played very few times for digital archiving purposes.  Really nice copy.

I am a lifelong vinyl collector (49 years old) and just starting to sell off my very large collection.  Much tender loving care has gone into this collection.  I have digitally archived all my albums.  These are what I listen to, so most of my LPs bought new have had very few spins.  All have been stored upright in 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeves in a smoke-free environment.  Many more rare and hard to find collectibles to be listed.  Stay tuned!

Grading is visual only and conservative (using Ebay categories):
Mint (I almost never use this grade unless it's sealed) means perfect Near Mint means just shy of perfect Excellent means light wear, or a couple light marks Very Good Plus means more significant wear but nothing serious, or more than a couple light marks and/or a few hairlines Very Good has more serious wear but it's definitely not garbage, has marks and hairlines
