Description

  • The Police released their fourth studio album "Ghost In The Machine" in October 1981 on A&M Records. There were four singles on the album including "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" and "Spirits In The Material World." It topped the album charts in the U.K. and hit No. 2 in the U.S.

  • This copy (SP-3730) is from the first pressing and is in excellent condition. The cover has some slight edge wear and wrinkles but is still VG+ as is the original red inner sleeve. Please see the pictures. The disc test plays cleanly and is also VG+ which is as high as I go on vintage vinyl. It was mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in NYC and pressed by ElectroSound Group Midwest in Shelbyville, Indiana. The Side 1 dead wax is etched AMSP 03730-A RE-I 😶 RCA1.

  • In addition to its original packaging, this album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Inner Sleeve to hold the vinyl disc and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve.  It will ship securely in the special corrugated Album Mailer seen in the last picture. 

  • This vintage 12" vinyl album has been sitting upright on a shelf in climate controlled storage for the past 40 years. It has not been played in decades other than a quick test spin for this sale which found no skips or obvious flaws. Buyers should note that this is a well-cared for but used record and it will have some minor imperfections.
