Ween - Pure Guava - rare original vinyl LP - UK press

$

219

Thanks for looking at my auction, which is for the rare original pressing of Ween's 1992 "Pure Guava" album.

The jacket has very minimal wear, and is like new. There are a couple of light creases, and a very light indention from the LP can be seen from the front, but it's still in beautiful shape. I'll rate it VG++.

The LPs couldn't have been played more than a couple of times. They have been cleaned and vacuumed and are nice and shiny. I played a sample of the first LP and it played beautifully with minimal noise. I'll easily rate these NM because they look and play like brand new.

If you collect Ween vinyl, you know how rare this is, and you have probably seen the other version of this album that surfaced a few years ago. That is a bootleg pressing and a single disc. This is the original pressing on 2 LPs, from the UK on August Records, a subsidiary of Creation Records. This is the one you want, and you couldn't ask for a nicer copy. And just for fun, I'll throw in a copy of the "Stroker Ace" soundtrack on vinyl. Impress your friends.

There is no reserve on this item and the opening bid is only 99 cents.

I also have a few other Ween vinyl items on auction right now, including the rare white vinyl "White Pepper" album and a couple of singles. Please check my other auctions if those interest you.

Record Grading System:

Here is my record grading system, with thanks to "Records By Mail" for a blueprint:

SS - Still sealed - The record is brand new, and an original pressing unless otherwise noted. Some sealed records have dings or creases that came from the factory. I will always note these flaws on sealed records.   Mint - While I will rarely ever use this grade, I have found some records in the past that I truly considered Mint because they were stunning. Perfect sharp corners, no creases, clean shrinkwrap. Perfect in every possible way for a brand new record.   NM - Near Mint - This LP has hardly ever been played, and the jacket and record are in like new condition. There might be 1-2 light defects, like a tiny ding in a corner or a very small crease somewhere on the jacket. The disc might have 1-2 very light marks that do not affect playback at all, and the record plays beautifully with minimal noise.   VG+ - Very Good Plus - This LP has been been played a few times, but is still in very nice condition. The jacket might have a few light creases, dings, indentions or very light wear. The disc might have a little noise on a track or two, but nothing awful that is constantly audible.   VG - Very Good - An average, yet clean LP. The jacket could have some noticeable wear or larger creases.  The record has been played several times, and you might see some light scratches or heavier marks on the LP. The disc might have noticeable noise like small pops during some songs.   VG- - Very Good Minus - This is the lowest grade of LP that I will sell. The jacket might have seam splits or heavy ringwear, or tears and scratches.  The disc will have several audible pops or clicks which are noticeable during every play.   Shipping costs:

All LPs, new or used, are sent in brand new polypropylene protective sleeves to protect and enhance the beauty of your investment. I ship all LPs in the above manner, no matter the final bid outcome. If the LP you win is not sealed, I will ship the record or records in their inner sleeves on the outside of and next to the jacket to avoid seam splitting.
