Description

Tom Waits' 7th Album 'Swordfishtrombone' released in 1983 on Island Records - Cat. #90095-1 - Special Pressing with Purple Island Labels - EX/EX
This is a true 1st Pressing of Tom Waits' Swordfishtrombone. This can be determined by the Purple Island Records Labels, the Original Printer Inner Sleeve and the Matrix / Runout Etching on Side O that .... FOR KATHLEEN AND KELLESIMONE.... - Tom's Wife and 1st Born Daughter (who was born in 1983 that same year this album was released. None of the other releases have this sort of inscription in the Matrix/Runout.

Vinyl is in Excellent Condition (EX) - The vinyl has a perfect gloss on both sides and shows no signs of handling or play.  Fully play tested and the album sounds awesome and tracked perfectly.

The record labels are in perfect condition and the spindle hole has no markings!

Cover is in Excellent Condition (EX) - The cover is very sturdy and show minimal signs of wear. There is very very very light signs of ring wear. There is also light edge wear and light corner bumps that are consistent with age and shelf life. 

The original inner printed lyric sleeve is included and is in great condition save a 2 inch seam split along the bottom edge. The record is no longer stored in the inner sleeve and is now in a Mofi Archival Anti-Static Sleeve. 

Note - All records that I sell are from my own personal collection and have been handled and stored properly since I have be the owner. When it comes to vinyl I am more of a collector than a seller, but I do sell some albums usually when I either feel it’s time to pass them along or if I'm in need of extra money to purchase a new album and/or audio equipment.

All of my vinyls have been both Visually and Play Tested. Visual testing is done under a 100W lamp and play testing is done using my Thorens TD-160 Super with a Black Widow Tonearm with an ADC VLM Cartridge. I have also cleaned each vinyl record using a VPI HW 16.5 Record Cleaning Machine. My grading follows the ‘Goldmine Grading Standard’ but I have added the grade of Excellent (EX) between Near Mint (NM) and Very Good Plus (VG+).


Please let me know if you have any questions regarding my grading or about any of my listings. I will usually answer any & all questions in less than an hour.

Carefully view all photographs as they are of the actual albums being sold. Photographs are taken specifically for each listing and will show the items true current cosmetic condition. Please contact me with any and all questions prior to purchasing.

Thanks for Looking and Good Luck!
