Mid-180ies US Warner Bros label 9-track LP - the 2nd album by great and quirky Athens, Georgia, wave-post punk combo with the eerie organ - more dipped in girl group, garage band, surf, and television theme song references - featuring the singles "Private Idaho", "Give Me Back My Man" and "Party Out of Bounds"


Vinyl has the black texted off white company labels with top full colour shield logo as well as six faint grey shield logos in the background - the generic label used by Warner from 1983 and forwards. Vinyl is housed in a matt finish picture cover.

 

For those into the hand etched (he) and machine stamped (ms) matrix information:
Side 1: BSK-1-3471 -WW2 # 8  ─◁ (he) STERLING (ms)
Side 2: BSK-2-3471-REI-WW5 # 12 (he) STERLING (ms)

 

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+ (Cover):
Vinyl is bright and shiny - has a very light degree of faint sleeve inflicted scuffing - next to nothing. Side 1 label is mint - Side 2 label has less than a handful slightly complex spindletraces placed close to centerring - graded near mint. Vinyl is overall easily graded near mint.
Cover has extremely nice front and back cover centers - has a light degree of wrinkling from edges and a couple of not so tough wrinkles from milder opening corner dents/bends. Seams are otherwise intact - spine easily readable but with light spine edge rubbing. Opening edges has almost no rubbing, corners likewise just a very light degree of rubbing - a simply very nice upper VG+ cover.
