This record has been cleaned using a Squeaky Clean Vinyl MK-III RCM. I graded the vinyl and sleeve using the Discogs standards (same as Goldmine) seen here:

I play tested this entire record and there are no significant pops or other noises. There is a slight warp and a little light noise can be heard on lead ins and between songs. But once the music starts you’ll never hear anything but METAL! It sounds great.
The original owner’s name, “Troy,” is written twice on the front. There’s some liquid damage at bottom left and spots over much of the front. There are some creases. Edge wear. Corner wear. Light ring wear. Despite all this it still presents pretty well.
The fan club insert and original inner sleeve are both present and in VG+ condition with no tears, just a bit of light staining. Oh to be able to go back in time and buy some of these things through the fan club…
This comes from the collection of a TX club DJ and metal fan (see last pic). It is one of four early Pantera records in the collection, which included hundreds of 1980s heavy metal records.
The cleaned record has been placed inside a Bags Unlimited archival anti static polyethylene and acid-free paper sleeve and will be shipped outside the original outer sleeve, which has been placed in a 3 mil polyethylene sleeve. Both will be sandwiched between corrugated cardboard pieces oriented 90 degrees from each other for strength and then boxed in a purpose made record mailer. That’s how I ship most records but in this case I will then double box with padding around that!
My home is smoke free and while this record has likely seen some smoke, it doesn’t smell like it anymore. Just smells like a 35 year old record!
Don’t miss this chance to own a rare piece of heavy metal history!!
