Rare album

Couldn't find this exact version anywhere for sale

Cover has seam splits (see pictures) but no other visible damage

Cover is the spray-painted first release which originally included 3 inserts (NOT INCLUDED)

Vinyl is the initial pressing white label with black text does not have "SIREN RECORDS" on vinyl but is on the cover (pictured)

Vinyl plays with NO skips but appears to be in great condition (see pictures). Probably could use a PROFESSIONAL cleaning of which I cannot do myself. 

I don't believe it is the original record jacket (pictured)

Notes

Side Notes: This first spray-painted cover releases included 3 inserts, all of which are quite rare.

The initial pressings had a plain looking white label with black text. Perhaps accidentally omitted from the label was "Siren Records", which was subsequently added with a rubber stamp. The second pressing incorporated "Siren Records" pre-printed on the label. Later pressings used an entirely re-designed label featuring silver hand-written text on a black background, typical of the labels used on the next several albums. Most, if not all of these black-labeled records were released with the picture sleeve. All three of these "original" releases of The Visitation were from the same mold (matrix# Kendun DE-1000).
