Description

For Auction at a low start price: Talking Heads - Speaking In Tongues, 1983 Sire Records 1-23771, Clear Vinyl in Custom Plastic Art Case, Limited Edition of 50,000 Made, Winchester Pressing.
The packaging, designed by the famous artist Robert Rauschenberg, is a yellowish tinted transparent plastic case with artwork and credits printed on three 12" circular transparent collages, one per primary color: yellow, red and blue. Concept by Robert Rauschenberg.

Vinyl is NM, Cover is EX+. Clear vinyl has minor noise at the lead ins on both sides, then once the music starts it plays very clean with no noise. I bought this new, played a couple of times and then stored since 1983. Plastic case/cover is in overall great shape: no cracks or obvious scratches. The yellowish color of the plastic case is how it was originally produced. All three round art-printed pieces are still attached to the case with one on the outside and two on the inside, again as originally produced. See photos for further condition verification.
All sales final with no returns. Ask any questions and I'll reply ASAP.

I can combine shipping for all records won by a single buyer, except for International sales (outside the USA) as Ebay does not allow it. Buyers inside the USA: after winning all the auctions you're interested in, let me know you want me to combine the items for shipping and I'll send you a combined invoice.

Records will be expertly packed. In most cases I will separate the vinyl & inner sleeves from their covers. Album covers packed in acid-free poly bags.

I will generally always ship using USPS Media Mail unless the buyer selects USPS Ground as the shipping option. Obviously for any records or group of combined sales that are high valued, I would recommend selecting USPS Ground shipping as it is automatically insured up to $100.00 and arrives faster than Media Mail shipping.

FYI: USPS does not automatically include insurance with Media Mail and reserves the right to randomly open Media Mail packages to insure the sender is not trying to cheat USPS by shipping something other than Media. Insurance for Media Mail can be added for a low additional cost if the buyer requests it.

I am in the process of selling my entire record collection - save me as a seller if you want to be notified of future listings as I post them. I've got some great vinyl coming up! I will sometimes reference Discogs' notes on my records to inform price values.
 
I strive for Positive 5 Star ratings. Thanks for looking!
