Description
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
RARE ORIGINAL Ken Perry mastered Geffen pressing from 1987 with glossy full color printed inner sleeve and SRC (Specialty Records Corporation) logo stamped in the dead wax!!! LP side 1 is VG+/VG++ with a few very light paper scuffs and side 2 is a gorgeous VG++/NM-. Cover is VG/VG+ with a bit of ring. Auction also includes an ULTRA RARE original rigid, two-sided, 12 X 12 in-store promotional display put out by Geffen in 1987 with promo text in the bottom right hand corner and glossy LP cover art on the flip!!! I bought this many years ago from a former Tower Records manager here in Chicago who was a big Siouxsie fan and decided to rescue it from the Tower wall for her own private collection (which was staggeringly impressive). She told me that 99% of these displays were tossed after they were displayed or never displayed at all and then tossed. Tower staff saw them as disposable swag and clutter and as a result VERY few survived from the 1980s. These are the kinds of rare items Siouxsie collectors are going to be fighting over in the very near future so don't sleep. You will never see another lot like this again.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING: MINT (SEALED)
NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE
VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR: FILLER COPY ONLY. LOTS OF SCRATCHES
