The Replacements - Let It Be 1984 Original US Twin/Tone NM Rare - Great Copy

$

70

Beautiful copy of this original US pressing (no barcode) on Twin/Tone (TTR-8441).  There was a Twin/Tone reissue later that year that does have a barcode.  Very hard to find these first editions, especially in this condition.  Bought second-hand and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment.  Really nice.   

• NM cover is clean and glossy with no marks and no seam splits.  Spine and edges are strong with no wear.  There is an upper left corner ding (photo).  All other corners are strong and sharp with no wear.  Very nice cover.

• NM vinyl is clean and glossy with a few very light sleeve scuffs.  These are surface scuffs only and will not effect the audio quality. Beautiful copy.

                    **First edition copies came with generic Twin/Tone catalog inner sleeves.  This one                             was replaced with a VPI sleeve for protection against sleeve scuffs.

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
