Description
This is the second pressing from 1994 with the barcode on the back cover. First editions do not have the barcode and also have the hidden track "Analog Odyssey" at the end of side 2. This "Mother Load" pressing (Deadwax etching) is the one that has the alternate version of "Pay No Mind" which is unique and unavailable elsewhere. These second pressings also did not come with any inserts. Bought second-hand and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment. Nice copy.
- VG+ cover is clean with no markings and no seam splits. Spine and edges are strong with a couple of spots of wear across the top edge (photo). Quite a bit of wear bottom right corner (photo). Slight wear top left corner and a slight ding bottom left corner. A couple of small spots of front cover wear - middle, bottom right and top left (photos). Very close to EX, but the heavier-than-usual bottom right corner wear drops the grading.
- NM vinyl has a couple of very faint sleeve scuffs on each side. These are light surface scuffs and will not effect play quality. Really nice copy.

I am a lifelong vinyl collector (49 years old) and just starting to sell off my very large collection. Much tender loving care has gone into this collection. I have digitally archived all my albums. These are what I listen to, so most of my LPs bought new have had very few spins. All have been stored upright in 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeves in a smoke-free environment. Many more rare and hard to find collectibles to be listed. Stay tuned!
Grading is visual only and conservative (using Ebay categories):
Mint (I almost never use this grade unless it's sealed) means perfect Near Mint means just shy of perfect Excellent means light wear, or a couple light marks Very Good Plus means more significant wear but nothing serious, or more than a couple light marks and/or a few hairlines Very Good has more serious wear but it's definitely not garbage, has marks and hairlines
