Lauv - I Met You When I Was 18 / Blue Translucent 2LP Vinyl Record Open

$

199

THIS IS AN  ORIGINAL RELEASE PRESSING, BEFORE THEY HAD A HIT AND PRINTED "I LIKE ME BETTER" ON THE BOTTOM OF THE REAR COVER.
THIS ACTUALLY PLAYS AT 45RPM, WITH EACH SIDE OF THE FOUR SIDES BEING 12-15 MINUTES EACH. ESSENTIALLY, THIS IS A SINGLE ALBUM OF UNDER ONE HOUR THAT WAS PUT ON TWO RECORD ALBUMS, ALLOWING FOR 45 RPM PLAYBACK AND LIKELY BETTER SOUND QUALITY. That is why all of those 12" singles from the 1980's produced in Europe and Japan had such excellent sound. 
I believe that all of my prior copies went to Korea.  PLEASE NOTE: WHAT THE PHOTOS SHOW IS THE ENTIRETY OF WHAT IS INCLUDED. I have seen other open copies that appear to have a small booklet inside. If there is supposed to be a booklet, IT IS NOT INCLUDED HERE.

Two years ago I purchased five sealed copies, all sold. The seller had opened one copy to show that this was a blue vinyl 2-disc set and, since I purchased the five sealed ones, he threw this in.  THERE IS NO EXTERNAL PLASTIC WRAP. I PLAYED IT ONCE TO SEE WHAT IT WAS I HAD AND THAT WAS THAT.
THE BLUE VIRGIN VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT PICKS UP DUST AND I DON'T WANT TO KEEP REMOVING IT FROM THE SLEEVE. THE WORST THAT CAN BE SAID FOR THE ACTUAL VINYL, IS THAT THERE IS LIGHT DUST. No scratches on the vinyl. The four vinyl photos show the translucence of the blue vinyl and were taken by spinning the vinyl in the sleeve 180 degrees so that the photos cover the entirety of the vinyl. As clear virgin vinyl, you should be able to see flaws. PLEASE INSPECT ALL PHOTOS.
THE OUTER COVERS HAVE A COUPLE OF LIGHT CORNER BUMPS AND SOME MINOR DISCOLORATION. THE CIRCULAR IMPRESSION OF THE VINYL IS VISIBLE AS THEY USE THINNER CARDBOARD IN CURRENT VINYL PRINTING IN ORDER TO USE FEWER RAW MATERIALS. GENERALLY CLEAN AND CRISP WITH MINOR IMPERFECTIONS. I don't typically grade vinyl and sleeves and I don't know how much the most minimal flaws may impact grading, so I am not grading.
THIS VINYL IS IN A CONDITION CONSISTENT WITH A PERSON WHO CAREFULLY PLAYED AN ALBUM ONCE AND PUT IT BACK IN THE SLEEVE, AS I DID IN THE 1980'S. I would buy an album, record it, and never play it again. 
I would expect that, short of a sealed copy, this is about as good as it gets.

SHIPPING: If this is something that you want to receive for Christmas, please note that all media mail is slowed considerably in December, with some of the Regional facilities filling rooms with Media Mail until after the holidays. There is resentment among some USPS employees that media mail gets significantly lower rates. I would sincerely recommend springing for the extra $5 if you want this to reach you by Christmas.
