X WILD GIFT, Vintage Vinyl LP, First Pressing, Slash (1981) One Owner

$

75

Selected titles from the private collection of a music business veteran are now being made available for the first time. Titles offered by this Seller are one-owner and came directly from the pressing plant, record company warehouse, other label reps or record store unless otherwise noted. 

Grading is based on visual inspection.

Album ships in a 2 MIL poly cover sleeve and a 2 MIL poly inner sleeve.

I package records outside the cover to avoid seam splits.

New and vintage vinyl is hard to grade strictly using eBay’s system because the record and the cover are two different components. Therefore, I call a record new and mint if it is opened but has never been played.  I use the grading category to describe the cover condition.

• This is a First Pressing of the original 1981 release.
• Produced by Ray Manzarek of The Doors.
• This is the first version Slash released when they were an independent label, before they signed a distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records.
• This copy has been played. There are spindle marks on both sides but the playing surfaces are clean.
• The single piece board cover has tight seams and shows slight storage wear.
• The glossy inner sleeve has lyrics and artwork. I have included a soft poly inner sleeve.
• The original Slash T-Shirt order form is also included.
• This is a one-owner that the Seller got new at Tower Sunset in 1981. It has been in storage for 39 years.
