Description
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
ULTRA RARE original 1988 Pinckneyville first pressing on Roadracer with New York address and original black & white printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!! LP is VG with a few light scuffs and cover is a VERY nice VG with a small (lees than 1") spine seam. Now for the real reason you're reading this. Also included in this auction is a RARE rigid 12 X 12 full color glossy in-store promotional display put out by Roadracer in 1988 for stores to hang as they saw fit. I purchased it (and many others) from a former Tower Records manager who told me that 99% of these displays were tossed after they were displayed or never displayed at all and then tossed. Tower staff saw them as disposable swag and clutter and as a result VERY few survived from the 80s. These are the kinds of items Mercyful Fate and Diamond fans are going to be fighting over fiercely in the very near future so don't sleep. You will most likely never see a lot like this again.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING:
MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR: FILLER COPY ONLY. LOTS OF SCRATCHES
