Description
THIS IS A NM U.S. ISLAND ORIGINAL OF THE JOSHUA TREE IN SUPER NICE CONDITION WITH ORIGINAL POSTER/LYRICS INSERT.
JACKET IS NM. VERY LITTLE SIGN OF WEAR LP IS GLOSSY NM. I ONLY NOTICED A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE FINE LINES ON EITHER SIDE. POSTER IS CRISP AND CLEAN CUSTOM PAPER INNER IS IN EX SHAPE BUT HAS SOME CREASING AND SPLITTING. RECORD SOUNDS SPECTACULAR. I DID DETECT SOME INSTANCES OF DUST CRACKLES DURING PLAYBACK.
LIKE MOST MUSIC FANS I'VE BEEN A HUGE FAN OF THIS LP EVER SINCE I HEARD IT BUT THERE ARE SOME STUFF I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THE CREATION OF THE ALBUM'S ICONIC PHOTOGRAPHS AND THE TTITLE, THE JOSHUA TREE. I RECENTLY SAW A VIDEO INTERVIEW WITH ANTON CORBIJN THE PHOTOGRAPHER WHO SHOT THE ALBUM'S PHOTOS. CORBIJN IS NOW FILM DIRECTOR AND RECENTLY MADE A NICE FILM WITH GEORGE CLOONEY CALLED THE AMERICAN.
IT TURNS OUT U2 NEVER HAD ANY PRE CONCEIVED NOTION OF NAMING THE ALBUM THE JOSHUA TREE. ACCORDING TO CORBIJN HE AND THE BAND WENT OUT INTO THE DESERT TO SHOOT SOME PHOTOS FOR THE ALBUM BUT COULDN'T QUITE FIND THE RIGHT SPOT FOR PICTURES, AND JUST WHEN THEY NEARLY GAVE UP THEY SPOTTED THE FAMOUS JOSHUA TREE IN THE DESERT AND DECIDED TO SHOOT PICTURES AROUND IT. THE PICTURES TURNED OUT SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANYONE COULD HOPE FOR THAT THE ALBUM NAME SORT OF EVOLVED ORGANICALLY OUT OF IT.
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW, THE JOSHUA TREE IS A SYMBOL OF HOPE IN THE MIDST OF A DESOLATE DESERT AND HOPE IS AT THE HEART OF THIS RECORD. IT'S MESSAGE IS IN LINE WITH EVERYTHING THE JOSHUA TREE STANDS FOR.
NOW THAT'S A HAPPY COINCIDENCE!
THE ITEM IS STORED IN A SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT AND HOUSED IN A CRYSTAL CLEAR RESEALABLE OUTER SLEEVE.
I'M IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING RID OF MY VINYL COLLECTION AND EQUIPMENTS. I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN RID OF MY RECORD CLEANER AND THOUGH MY RECORDS WILL LOOK CLEAN IT IS IMPORTANT THE BUYER UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WERE NOT CLEANED BEFORE SHIPPING.
ALL GRADING ARE BASED ON VISUAL INSPECTION. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GRADE SOUND ON A RECORD AS THE SOUND CAN BE AFFECTED BY THE EQUIPMENT THE BUYER USES FOR PICK UP. AS A SELLER THE MOST I COULD DO IS PROVIDE THE BUYER WITH AN HONEST DESCRIPTION OF WHAT I HEARD ON PLAY BACK FROM MY MC CARTRIDGE AND SPEAKERS. ABOVE ALL, I NEVER LEAVE OUT A NY DEFECT IF A RECORD HAS ONE!
QUESTIONS ABOUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.
