Hello fellow record collectors,

Here is an almost perfect copy of Radiohead - OK Computer LP on the UK Parlophone label from 1997. This is a double LP with an awesome gatefold cover and thick stock picture sleeves with super cool artwork. The vinyl looks almost perfect with just one tiny visible mark at the very beginning of one side, and a very small patch on another side which looks like the pressing itself - I don't believe any of this would effect play. The cover and sleeves are all near mint, so I give the overall grading of this record M-. Here is the all music guide review:

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Using the textured soundscapes of The Bends as a launching pad, Radiohead delivered another startlingly accomplished set of modern guitar rock with OK Computer. The anthemic guitar heroics present on Pablo Honey and even The Bends are nowhere to be heard here. Radiohead have stripped away many of the obvious elements of guitar rock, creating music that is subtle and textured yet still has the feeling of rock & roll. Even at its most adventurous -- such as the complex, multi-segmented "Paranoid Android" -- the band is tight, melodic, and muscular, and Thom Yorke's voice effortlessly shifts from a sweet falsetto to vicious snarls. It's a thoroughly astonishing demonstration of musical virtuosity and becomes even more impressive with repeated listens, which reveal subtleties like electronica rhythms, eerie keyboards, odd time signatures, and complex syncopations. Yet all of this would simply be showmanship if the songs weren't strong in themselves, and OK Computer is filled with moody masterpieces, from the shimmering "Subterranean Homesick Alien" and the sighing "Karma Police" to the gothic crawl of "Exit Music (For a Film)." OK Computer is the album that establishes Radiohead as one of the most inventive and rewarding guitar rock bands of the '90s.

I will package this in a sturdy cardboard record mailer. I will ship Regular Parcel Post through Canada Post. Shipping will cost $13.00 to Manitoba and east and $11.00 to Saskatchewan and west and $15.00 to all of the US. This will include $100 of insurance. International buyers should ask me the shipping cost on an individual basis and I will find out the cost. Most international destinations seem to be somewhere between $32 and $36 by small packet international air with $100 of coverage, but you should still check with me first. If you want a required signature on delivery and a tracking # it costs more. Let me know how you want it mailed and I will find out the cost.

Feel free to email me with any questions and good luck.
Cheers,
Ryan
