Excellent collector copy of Def Leppard’s landmark 1987 album Hysteria, featuring MASTERDISK / DMM mastering, brown/amber translucent vinyl when strongly backlit, and the original printed inner sleeve.

TRANSLUCENT VINYL
An especially interesting characteristic of this copy is its vinyl formulation.
Under normal room lighting, the record presents as traditional dark/black vinyl. However, when held against a strong light source, the vinyl becomes distinctly brown/amber translucent.
A backlit photograph has been included in the listing so buyers can see the translucency of the actual record being offered.
This is not being represented as a modern colored-vinyl reissue. It is a vintage 1987 pressing whose vinyl formulation becomes translucent under strong backlighting.
CONDITION — GOLDMINE GRADING
VINYL: EX
Excellent overall appearance with strong, glossy surfaces. Only light superficial sleeve/handling marks are visible under direct lighting, with no significant scratches apparent.
The backlit photograph is included specifically to document the translucent vinyl and should not be interpreted as showing damage or discoloration.

Original jacket remains colorful and highly presentable with strong front artwork.
There is normal vintage shelf, edge and corner wear, including more noticeable wear/chipping along portions of the lower edge and corner areas. Please review the photographs carefully for the exact jacket condition.

Includes the original custom printed inner sleeve with album credits and production information. The inner shows normal age and handling wear consistent with an original 1987 copy.
