MADONNA - “RAY OF LIGHT” 1998 JAPANESE VINYL RELEASE

First production limited edition. 180g heavyweight discs with Japanese-style deluxe jacket, 2-disc set.

Warner Bros./Maverick catalog number: WPJR-2003/4

DETAILS: Extremely high quality pressing. This was the only pressing of this album in the world to feature a gatefold jacket. The sleeve utilizes thicker cardboard than usual so it’s very sturdy. The printing on this edition is high quality and crystal clear unlike all future reissues which were blurry and either desaturated or oversaturated in color. Includes all original inserts as well as the original cello plastic bag sleeve with the round pink sticker. This is by far the highest-quality pressing of this incredible album.

GATEFOLD PICTURE SLEEVE JACKET: The spine has creasing and a few dents. The interior gatefold panels have some light scuffing on both sides of the metallic silver surface. There is also some discoloration on the front cover right side edge. Overall, I’d say the jacket is in very good condition and in very presentable shape for an almost 30-year old release.

CELLO BAG/HYPE STICKER: The cello bag shows typical wear and aging. It has a 2.5 inch seam split on the top right side. The round pink hype sticker is intact and vibrant with no damage.

RECORDS: The actual disks are near mint, except for some light spindle marks near the hole on the A side of the first record’s label. There isn’t any damage on the playing surfaces of the records. They retain their high gloss and shine. These are heavy, thick, quality records.

INSERTS: Overall in great shape with minimal signs of handling, the exception being the second photo insert, which does have a more prominent dent as seen in the photo. Also note that the inserts are not faded, that’s just the glare of the flash against the metallic ink in the photos. The original Japanese lyrics insert is also included as well as the small Japanese info flyer that was originally included.

SHIPPING: Will be shipped with USPS Priority Mail in a thick box for extra protection. The records will be packed outside the jacket to prevent any damage in transit. Due to my job hours, I can only ship on Saturdays.

RETURNS: I’m not accepting a return so please review all pictures, read all details above and ask any questions before buying. I’m not trying to scam anybody, but I just don’t have the time or want to deal with the hassle of a return. I’ve tried to describe all the details and information that I myself as a collector would want to know. If you need any more close up pictures, I’d be happy to send them to you.

Thanks for looking!
