Description
PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.
RARE original Carrollton first pressing from 1986 on Columbia with four-song hype sticker in the bottom right hand corner on the front cover and printed inner sleeve with complete lyrics!!! LP is a gorgeous near mint minus. Cover is still in the original shrink wrap and beautiful with four sharp corners. Auction also includes not one, but two RARE original double-sided 12 X 12 in-store promotional displays put out by Paramount pictures in 1986 with the album cover image on the reverse!!! I purchased these some time in the early 2000s from a former Tower Records (R.I.P.) manager here in Chicago who was in love with Tom Cruise and decided to rescue these from the Tower wall for her own private collection (which was staggeringly impressive). She told me that 99% of these displays were either tossed after they were displayed or never displayed at all and then tossed. Tower staff saw them as disposable swag and clutter and as a result very few survived from the 1980s. These are the kinds of rarities Tom Cruise & Top Gun fans are going to be fighting over fiercely in the very near future so don't sleep. You won't see another lot like this.
I USE GOLDMINE GRADING~ MINT (SEALED) NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++: VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE VG+: AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG: STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS
