Flow My Firetear - Original 1991 Danish Columbia label 9-track LP - Autographed

1991 Danish Columbia 9-track vinyl LP - the bands first major label album and Sort Sol commercial breakthough - a lot less friction and a much heavier sound - featuring the singles "Siggimund Blue"/"Midnight Train to Summer", "Daughter of Sad", and "Carry Me into the Sun".

Vinyl is manufactured with the generic all red company labels with black center print and white rimprint - top label capital lettering 'Columbia' text - housed in an illustrated lyric inner sleeve - ultimately in a glossy picture cover. This copy autographed drummer Tomas Ortved, bass guitarist Knud Odde, and guiatrists Peter Peter and Lars Top Galia... all drawing small additions to their picture... nice. 

... and the machine stamped trail off information:

Side 1: 10 467510 20 1A1

Side 2: 10 467510 20 1B1

suggesting that this copy was pressed by the Harlem, Holland, based SonyMusic International Manufacturing and Service Center pressing plant - from the 1st mastering, the first set of mothers... early if not first set of stampers.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Label)/VG++ (Inner Sleeve)/VG++ (Cover)/M- (Autographs):
Vinyl is bright and shiny - has a light degree of sleeve inflicted wear only - far from audible... a little too much for a near mint grading though. Labels has in the area of a handful slightly scattered spindletraces - overall graded close to near mint/excellent.

Printed lyric inner has marginal inevitable vinyl outline, but otherwise just light signs of handling - close to near perfect as well.

Picture cover has just a little light wrinkling from edges from mild bends... very marginal lower opening corner rubbing - otherwise hardly any signs of storage or handling - graded close to near mint/excellent - autographs and drawings are clear and unsmothered - easily readable and enjoyable.
