R.E.M. - Out Of Time 1991 Original US Warner Bros. OOP NM

$

45

Original US Warner Brothers pressing from 1991.  Out of print and not easy to find these days.  These first editions were pressed at Precision using Direct Metal Mastering.  Very well done pressings.  Bought second-hand and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment.  Really nice original copy.   

• EX cover is clean with no markings and no seam splits. Spine is strong but has a small ding in one spot (photo).  Top and bottom edges are strong with no wear and no seam splits.  Mild wear at bottom left and bottom right corners (photo).  Other two corners have no wear.  Very close to NM, but the ding on the spine drops the grading.  

• EX inner sleeve has no markings, tears or creases.  There are 2" seam splits on both sides and a 4" seam split along the bottom.  Corners are strong and sharp with no wear.  Very top edge is beginning to yellow (photo).  Still a nice sleeve, but the seam splits and the yellowing drop the grading.  

• NM vinyl is clean and glossy with a few areas of light sleeve scuff/hairlines on each side.  These are light surface scuffs and will not effect play quality.  Really nice copy.

I am a lifelong vinyl collector (49 years old) and just starting to sell off my very large collection.  Much tender loving care has gone into this collection.  I have digitally archived all my albums.  These are what I listen to, so most of my LPs bought new have had very few spins.  All have been stored upright in 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeves in a smoke-free environment.  Many more rare and hard to find collectibles to be listed.  Stay tuned!

Grading is visual only and conservative (using Ebay categories):

Mint (I almost never use this grade unless it's sealed) means perfect

Near Mint means just shy of perfect

Excellent means light wear, or a couple light marks

Very Good Plus means more significant wear but nothing serious, or more than a couple light marks and/or a few hairlines

Very Good has more serious wear but it's definitely not garbage, has marks and hairlines
