Lita - Unique 1988 German pressed 9-track vinyl - Handdecorated, Dedication, Autograph, Presskit

Rare and unique 1988 German pressed 9-track vinyl LP - Ex Runaways lead guitarist 3rd solo effort featuring the 'Close My Eyes Forever' duet with Ozzy Osbourne, and the hit 'Kiss Me Deadly'.

This copy has been handdecorated and scarred by Lita herself - subsequently dedicated and signed in purple nail varnish: "Kiss Me Deadly - Lita".

The album was mailed out at the time to a major Danish rock reviewer along with a 5-page biography, 2-pages reviews, a neat 18 x 24 cm black and white promotional photograph featuring Lita posing with her double neck guitar & a 20 x 25 cm full colour promotional photograph from the 'Lita' sessions which was mailed as a postcard and features the company as well as review'er info. The press pack also features 6 nice full colour slides - everything a bad ass Lita Ford/Runaways collector could ever wish for.

Vinyl is placed in the appropriate illustrated lyric inner sleeve - everything held in a hype stickered glossy picture cover.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+(+) (Inner Sleeve)/M- (Presskit)/VG+(+) (Cover):
An item like this is really beyond grading - vinyl has been painted and scarred and artwork is displayed clear and unsmothered. Inner sleeve has a little mid upper rip but is otherwise extremely close to mint - cover has a little edge wrinkling and wear, but hype sticker is mint. Paperwork, photos and the slides are in mint condition - a simply very nice item for a true collector - not to listen to, but to frame or cherish in any other way.
