Excerpts From A Love Circus - Original 1996 UK 4AD label 12-track LP

Rare original 1996 UK 4AD label 12-track LP - Mishawaka, Indiana, born 4rth studio album by alternative singer/songwriter, session violinist and fiddle player for John Cougar Mellencamp, Indigo Girls and Simple minds... and David Bowie, Anna Waronker, and Neil Finn collaborater - 'a slightly lighter take on her vulnerable, folky dream-pop: only she could make the refrain "Bruises, bruises, bruises" equally catchy and disturbing.'*

Vinyl has custom picture labels - housed in a card picture inner sleeve - ultimately in a picture cover.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl)/M- (Labels)/VG++ (Inner Sleeve)/VG+ (Cover):
Vinyl is bright and shiny - has almost no signs of play or handling... a couple of faint sleeve marks is all - hard to avoid with card inner sleeves. Labels are mint.

Inner sleeve has just faint signs of handling and is graded near mint - cover has a couple of areas - a thin stripe along mid-front opening and a broader one along back top opening of discoloration or rubbing - inflics a faint milky impression. Cover is otherwise very nice with only a little superficial creasing and just faint opening corners rubbing - conservatively graded VG+.
