Description

You are bidding on one (barely) used "Half an Octopuss" 10" record by the CURE. This is a Limited Edition UK pressing on Fiction Records - Catalog FICST23.
Hard to find 10" version comes in a nice glossy picture sleeve - this one is in EX+/M- condition - has a small ding in the bottom right corner, and a crease in the lower left corner, but really nice shape overall - bold coloring, nice sheen - definitely does not look 30+ years old. 
Vinyl is also in EX+/M- condition - has a few light surface scratches but does not skip during play - sounded pretty clean overall - very few pops / crackles.
I combine shipping on multiple auction wins - price is for Priority Mail but I will consider alternative methods of delivery.

A1 Close To Me (7" Version) 3:44 A2 A Man Inside My Mouth 3:05 B1 New Day 4:08 B2 Stop Dead 4:02
