Too High To Die - Original 1994 US London label limited edition LP incl. bonus 10" EP

Rare long out of print 1994 US London label limited edition 14-track LP incl. the bonus 14-track promo 10" vinyl  EP "Raw Meat" - which featured 4 previously unreleased songs.

"Too High To Die" IS  Phoenix, Arizona, alt. rockers - co-produced by Butthole Surfers' Paul Leary... and features the single "Backwater", which reached #2 and #11 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks and Modern Rock Tracks charts respectively. The album itself also reached #1 on the Heatseekers chart.

Vinyls have generic company labels. LP is housed in an illustrated lyric inner sleeve, 10" in a generic die cut white sleeve - both ultimately placed in a single pocket picture cover... which has an altogether different colour composition than the stand issue which is plain pink tinted.

Condition: 2xVG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Inner Sleeve)/VG++ (Cover).
Vinyls are both superlustrous and extremely close to perfect... a single barely noticeable sleeve mark on both records is all - otherwise mint. Labels are mint.
The lyric inner sleeve is extremely close to perfect with an inevitable vinyl outline - cover has a mild upper left front corner bend resulting in a couple of front wrinkles - otherwise only a light degree of edge wrinkling and a little lower opening corner dent - overall a very delicate cover with intact sticker - graded close to near perfect/excellent.
