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.
MEGA RARE original Elektra gatefold first pressing from 1986 with SRC (Specialty Records Corporation) logo stamped in the dead wax and original printed inner sleeve!!! LP is VG++ with a few light paper scuffs. Cover is just barely VG with some light moisture wear mostly in the top right hand corner on the rear. Auction also includes not one, but TWO ULTRA RARE original rigid, two-sided 12 X 12 in-store promotional displays put out by Elektra in 1986 with the album cover art and promotional text on the rear!!! I purchased these from a former Tower Records (R.I.P.) manager who loved the Cure and decided to rescue these from the Tower wall for her own private collection (which was staggeringly impressive). She told me that 99% of these displays were either 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. Displays have some small staple holes and one has a light crease only visible on one side. These are the kind of rarities Cure fans are going to be fighting over fiercely in the very near future so don't sleep. You won't see another lot like this.
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
