Mad Season ABOVE vinyl 2x LP record Alice In Chains Pearl Jam Layne Staley rare

 Very rare Mad Season 2xlp vinyl. Extremely scarce. Item is complete and playable but both records show a slight warp. Both records play without skips/pops/jumps. I don't notice a pitch change but there is a visible warp in both records. Anyone purchasing this record needs to be OK with the records being warped. A mint / sealed copy of this record might cost $200, so this record will be a relative bargain.  It still plays perfectly and the records, other than the warp, are in excellent condition with no scratches. The jacket shows wear on the corners and along the edges. There are also some creases.  This is still a great item for the fan who just wants to own this brilliant album. Please look at all the pictures. Pictures 4, 5 and 6 show some of the albums wear. 7 shows the pristine grooves.

The second side of the second record (side D) is an etching (seen in picture 1).

I ship internationally. Safely and securely. Let me know if you have any questions. I'll also be listing an original AIC Tripod album.  Thanks for looking.

Album Notes
Mad Season: Layne Staley (vocals, guitar); Mike McCready (acoustic & electric guitars); Barrett Martin (cello, vibraphone, marimba, acoustic bass, drums, percussion); John Baker Saunders (electric bass).Additional personnel: Mark Lanegan (vocals); Nalgas Sin Carne (saxophone).Recorded at Bad Animals, Seattle, Washington.Personnel: Layne Staley (vocals, guitar); Mark Lanegan (vocals); Mike McCready (acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Barrett Martin (cello, vibraphone, marimba, upright bass, drums, percussion); John Saunders (electric bass).Audio Mixer: Brett Eliason.Recording information: Bad Animals, Seattle, WA.Illustrator: Layne Staley.Photographer: Lance Mercer.The black and white lithographs by Layne Staley that dot the cover and liner notes of ABOVE are a subtle hint of what lies in wait on this disc. Gray shades of music ebb along, seared by an occasional lead instrument. Besides designing the artwork, Staley sings, while Pearl Jam's Mike McCready provides six-string back-up alongside bass player John Baker Saunders and Screaming Trees drummer/multi-instrumentalist Barrett Martin.ABOVE aches with the pain of living in a world streaked by deception, betrayal and disgust. Lumbering rhythms occasionally rumble into Sabbathville ("X-Ray Mind" and "Lifeless Dead"). Staley nods through the sinuous confines of "Long Gone Day," coasting on a surreal Brazilian beat prodded along by Martin's vibraphone and Nalgas Sin Carne's sax solo. This hour of emotional bloodletting ends with a convoluted two-part piece: The instrumental "November Hotel" starts with a faraway tribal beat that builds up gradually as McCready's guitar eases in and unleashes a wave of effects-laden riffs that flow into a disembodied declaration of solitude called "All Alone."

Editorial Reviews
...At its best, it's a Country Sabbath combination of Alice and the Trees, in particular `I'm Above' and `Long Gone Day'...both of which make ABOVE at least a compulsory listen....A refreshing holiday from the pressures of corporate ultra-stardom...

Now at over 30 watchers and 200 views.  I want to remind everyone that both of these are warped.  They play perfectly on my player but they are visibly warped.  The stylus moves up and down during playback because of the warping. The jacket has wear as well. There are creases and edge wear.  I want the buyer to be happy with their purchase. So please bid accordingly.  If you're looking for a playable copy that probably will cost less than $200, this one is for you. If you want a perfect copy, please wait for another.

A few have asked, so I'll clarify. The records are only slightly warped. They play great. Just don't expect perfect. Less than 24 hours to go. Good luck everyone.
