Mezmerize - Original 2005 US Americal label 11-track Picture Disc LP

Rare original 2005 US Americal label 11-track picture disc LP - the first half of aggressive, frantic, operatic, and totally bananas Armenian-American rockers Mezmerize/Hypnotize double album.

Picture disc is accompanied by a two-sided illustrated credits and lyric insert - housed in a clear PVC envelope sleeve.

Condition:
This is an unused copy, which originally was issued unsealed - vinyl and insert has only been out for evaluation and scan.
Insert has a promotional issue cut-out hole - otherwise only faint inevitable centre ring imprints.
Front sticker is mint - envelope cover has hardly any signs of storage... extremely close to mint packaging overall.
