Description

This is an incredible edition of the third album by The Mars Volta, Frances the Mute.  It includes 3 LPS, with one side of one of the discs an etching.  Play tested and sounds incredible.  Some very slight minor crackles on a few moments, but nothing that detracts from the enjoyability of the music.
VINYL:  VG+   There are some surface marks/scuffs, but they do not affect play.  Some of these may have been in the pressing, as this does happen with pressings since the millenium.  Conservatively graded, sounds amazing.
COVER:  Some ring wear, corner wear, but no splits and still looks great.  All inner sleeves  are there and in beautiful condition.
