  Johnny Cash-American IV 2xLP  American (US)   Description: American IV: The Man Comes Around is the fourth album in the American series by Johnny Cash, (and his 87th overall) released in 2002. This is the last album released before his death in 2003. The majority of songs are covers which Cash performs in his own spare style, with help from producer Rick Rubin. For instance, for the song "Personal Jesus", Rubin asked ex-Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante to re-work an acoustic version of Martin Gore's song, which featured a simple acoustic riff that stripped down the song to a blues style. He receives backing vocal assistance from various artists, including Fiona Apple, Nick Cave, and Don Henley. American IV was the final Cash album released during his lifetime; though the Unearthed Box Set was compiled prior to his death, it was not released until two months later. It was also his first non-compilation album to go gold (selling over 500,000 copies) in thirty years. Additionally, the album won "Album of the Year" award at the 2003 CMA Awards.It was certified Gold on 4/24/2003 and Platinum on 11/21/2003 by the R.I.A.A.

The video for "Hurt", a song written by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails in 1994, was nominated in seven categories at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards and won the award for Best Cinematography. In February 2003, mere days before his 71st birthday, Cash won another Grammy Award for Best Country Male Vocal Performance for "Give My Love To Rose," a song Cash had originally recorded in the late 1950s. The music video for "Hurt" also won a Grammy for Best Short Form Video at the 2004 Awards.

Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor admitted that he was initially "flattered" but worried that "the idea [of Cash covering "Hurt"] sounded a bit gimmicky," but when he heard the song and saw the video for the first time, Reznor said he was deeply moved and found Cash's cover beautiful and meaningful.

Grading:   LPs are graded visually and conservatively under many bright lights. Questionable marks are play graded.   Still Sealed/New: Never opened...still in original shrinkwrap....any tears in the shrinkwrap will be noted in description.   Mint: New condition...Exactly like new, no flaws whatsoever. Nice & Shiny.  Cover will look like it has just been removed from shrinkwrap, or may still have most of the shrinkwrap still on it.   NrMint: Played once, no flaws, but a remote ever-so-slight amount of that shiny luster may be gone.  Jacket will be virtually flawless, slightest signs of wear, maybe one bumped corner, or a hint of edgewear.  Shrinkwrap, if still on, may have some stickers on it.   VG++: Very Good Plus Plus. This record may have some marks(very, very light scratch or a bit of very light sleeve scuffing)that may sound briefly in a quieter passage.   The jacket may have the very lightest signs of ringwear(just barely noticeable), some light corner or edge wear, maybe an old price sticker or two, that should peel off with the proper guidance.   VG+: Very Good Plus. This record will have some light marks(light scratches and light sleeve scuffs), and it might make an occasional pop or crackle in parts, but will not even come close to overwhelming the listening experience.  Still a very desirable grade.. As for the jacket, it will start to show more signs of wear than a VG++ jacket, the ringwear may be slightly more evident, the edgewear or corner wear may be more defined as well.   VG: Very Good. The record may have several scratches and scuffs, though aside from some popping and crackling, will still be an enjoyable listen. No skips here. The jacket will have far more wear than the previous grades, such as:  edgewear to the point of some minor seam splitting(the kind that can be repaired with tape or other means), ringwear(not terrible, but still distracting from the image), edge and corner wear, minor writing or a few stickers, or other similiar defects.   VG- : Not terrible, usually represents 1 or 2 "ugly" marks or scratches, might be a little sketchy in a few spots, other than that would fair as a VG record.  The jacket will show wear - ringwear, seam splits(still should be able to be taped up for repair), some writing and/or stickers, edge and corner wear, or other similiar defects.   Good/Fair/Poor: These conditions will be used sparingly, and will only be sold if the LP itself is insignificant(for example some LP jackets are collectible, and the LP itself has no value). Also these grades will be used for extremely rare vinyl at very affordable blowout prices. Filler only, not recommended for listening.   Please feel free to email with any questions!   Shipping and Handling   All LPs are boxed carefully in corrugated boxes made specifically for LPs, plus the LPs are housed in clear plastic LP sleeves, with either extra newspaper or cardoard as buffering tools.
