Description
Time capsule for classic rock collectors: an original, fully factory-sealed 1978 U.S. gatefold first pressing of Joe Walsh’s landmark solo album, “But Seriously, Folks...”, released on Asylum Records (6E-141).
Released at the absolute height of Walsh's fame as a member of the Eagles, this album balances his signature, searing guitar work with brilliant satirical humor. Most notably, it features the full-length, unedited 8-minute album version of his legendary classic rock anthem "Life's Been Good," alongside standout tracks like "Over and Over" and "Second Hand Store."
Because this copy has remained completely undisturbed in its original 1978 factory shrink wrap for nearly five decades, the heavy analog vinyl inside is guaranteed to be in unplayed, immaculate Mint (M) condition. Cut from early generation masters and stamped with the iconic STERLING and TJ profile in the runout deadwax by mastering legend Ted Jensen, this vintage pressing delivers a rich, warm, dynamic soundstage that compressed modern digital streams cannot replicate.
CONDITION GRADING:
Vinyl Disc Condition: Mint (M). Still Sealed. Never extracted from its original packaging, never handled by human hands, and entirely unplayed. Completely free from spindle wear, paper scuffs, environmental dust, or fingerprint degradation.
Jacket Cover Sleeve: Near Mint (NM). Beautifully preserved, thick rigid cardboard construction with striking, sharp 90-degree corners. The spine is perfectly squared with crisp, flawless factory typography. Print finishes remain extraordinarily vibrant with zero ultraviolet sun-fading or color bleeding. Some staining on jacket edge.
Shrink Wrap Integrity: 100% complete, Crystal clear, original factory heat-shrink seal. No compression splits, stress tears, or ring-wear scuffing. Includes original factory "breathe holes" in the shrink wrap, validating its untampered authenticity.
Features a promotional hole-punch in the corner, confirming its authentic non-retail promo designation.
