The Young Gods Play Kurt Weill - Original 1991 Play It Again Sam label 8-track LP

Scarce long out of print 1991 Dutch pressed Play It Again Sam label 8track LP featuring Swizz industrialists Kurt entire Weill tribute concert staged in Switzerland in September 1989 - a superb meet between influential German composers work and The Young Gods' mix of pulsating, jagged and often caberet like poetry.

Vinyl has black and silver printed label with small top circulat company logo. Vinyl has 1A1 & 1B1 matrix endings and is housed in an illustrated liner notes inner - ultimately in a partially glossy picture cover.

Condition: VG+ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+(+) (Cover):
Vinyl is as such bright and shiny - has been used directly from the paper inner sleeve and has subsequently some light sleeve inflicted marks - nothing profound enough to stem from a needle. Side 1 is close to neqar mint/excellent, Side 2 is more VG+ish.

Labels does not indicate much play - a couple of short, faint and simple ones on one side - a very few similar one on the other. Labels are near mint.

Inner sleeve has light wrinkles from handling - no splits, tears, rips, writing or other signs of excessive handling graded at least VG+.

Cover is very nice - has a touch of vinyl outline, very little wrinkling from edges, hardly any creasing, a little pressure along or slight local pressure to spine, which is otherwise perfectly readable. Top seam is mint, lower seam almost so - just a touch of rubbing. Opening edges have hardly any rubbing - corners just from almost nothing to just a little - overall just very nice and graded close to near mint/excellent.
