Guns N' Roses :  "Appetite For Destruction"    LP    Stereo

Original US pressing (1987) on the Geffen label :  GHS 24148

Includes original UNCENSORED custom glossy inner sleeve (in near mint condition), capturing the controversial "MR. MINI-MITE" sidewalk rape scene on one side and song lyrics and credits on the other side.

Features the "Uzi Suicide" Records call-out on the jacket back.

Distinguished by original labels, embossed with the letters  "EAST" on the "R" side label.

Label sides are identified as "G" and "R" (rather than "1" and "2").

Super clean wax, plays "like new".   (See details below.)

This iconic and critically acclaimed Guns N' Roses debut release, featuring Axl Rose and Slash, features hit songs "Welcome To The Jungle", "It's So Easy", "Paradise City", "Sweet Child Of Mine" and "Nightrain".         

Matrix numbers hand etched in the dead wax read:

Side G:  Sterling  GHS-24148  A  SR1  DMM

Side R:   Sterling  GHS-24211  B  SR5  DMM  SP1-1

Vinyl:  NM  (Plays Like New)

Super clean wax.  Exceptionally high gloss. 

Wax plays "like new" and suffers only from very light superficial surface marks, which have no impact on sound quality.                    

Labels are clean and sharp, look just a bit shy of "like new".

The disc is not perfectly flat; it's slightly warped at the outer edge.  Plays flawlessly on my primo ProJect turntable (tracking at my normal 1.75 gm).

                                                                  (SEE PHOTOS)

Jacket:  EX

Front and back color photos are rich and sharp.  High gloss remains.

2-3 shallow scratches seen near bottom of front jacket.

Shallow crease seen in upper right corner of jacket back, yielding a slight dent in the spine. 

Seams and spine are solid and clean, with only traces of rub wear present.  No splits.

Spine print is crystal clear.                                                                                                                                                                                  (SEE PHOTOS)

My Profile / Policies:

Note:  I've qualified for the "Top Rated Plus" seal from eBay, awarded to sellers who consistently deliver outstanding customer service.

Music is my passion.  I’ve been a collector for more than 50 years and have thousands of records in my personal collection, focused largely on 50’s and 60’s rock ‘n’ roll.  Recently retired, I look to downsize and sell select portions of my collection in hopes of financing future purchases of a few special pieces.  

All records I offer are from my personal collection, each cleaned using my Nitty Gritty Record Cleaning Machine.

All are play graded (not just visually graded), employing Goldmine Price Guide standards.

As I take great care to accurately describe my items, I do not accept returns unless my item description is incorrect.

All records are packaged with the wax outside the jacket (to avoid seam split in transit), enclosed in a plastic sleeve and shipped in robust record mailer boxes via USPS Media Mail, tracking included.

International customers pay shipping costs and duties per the eBay Global Shipping Program guidelines. 

Payment expected within 3 business days of auction closing.
