Description
Germs (GI) - Slash Records SR-103 - 1979 Second Press w/ printed inner sleeve - Near Mint
This is the only LP from influential LA punk band Germs before vocalist/songwriter Darby Crash chose to end his life. It is often considered to be the first full-length hardcore punk album.
This second pressing of the original October 1979 release is still highly collectible and can be distinguished by the white cardboard on the inside of the sleeve and the printed inner sleeve (instead of a separate lyric sheet).
Overall condition is NM. Vinyl is NM, looks pristine with a couple of fingermarks. Sleeve is VG+, still in shrinkwrap with some corner bending and minor wear at opening. Inner sleeve is VG+/EX, no marks or bending but there is a tiny seam split at the bottom.
