Description

Original 1982 pressing of The Blue Mask by Lou Reed on RCA (Catalog # AF1-4221). This is an opened copy that remains in the original shrink wrap, helping preserve the jacket in excellent condition.

A strong player’s copy with clean presentation—great for collectors who want an original without paying sealed prices.

Condition:

Vinyl: VG+ (lightly played, well cared for, no major marks visible)

Jacket: NM (still in original shrink, clean edges and corners)

Inner Sleeve: Original RCA inner sleeve included

Notes:

Shrink wrap is intact but open (not sealed)

Catalog number: AF1-4221

Stored properly in a clean, smoke-free environment

See photos for full condition details

Why This Copy:Early ‘80s Lou Reed at his sharpest—The Blue Mask is a standout in his catalog, featuring tight guitar work and introspective songwriting. Copies in shrink like this don’t come around as often in this condition.

Shipping:

Ships securely in an LP mailer with padding

Record will be shipped outside the sleeve to prevent seam splits

Fast handling
