Description
**GUNS N' ROSES - APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION (1987 ORIGINAL UK/EUROPE VINYL LP)**
Up for auction/sale is a 100% authentic, definitive 1987 first pressing of Guns N' Roses' legendary debut album featuring the controversial, withdrawn Robert Williams artwork.
This is NOT a modern reissue or a bootleg—this copy features the genuine machine-stamped matrices from the famous West German pressing plant in the dead wax area.
**CRITICAL IDENTIFIERS:**
* **Catalog Numbers:** 924 148-1 / WX 125 (Printed on jacket rear and center labels)
* **Runout Matrix Side A:** R / S Alsdorf 924148-1-A

**CONDITION AND GRADING (Strictly & Honestly Graded):**
* **VINYL AUDIO QUALITY: EXCELLENT (EX)**
This record has been FULLY PLAY-TESTED from start to finish on a calibrated turntable setup. It sounds phenomenal, loud, punchy, and highly dynamic. There are absolutely NO skips, NO jumps, and NO repeating clicks or loud intrusive pops. A superb listener's copy.
* **VINYL VISUAL CONDITION: VERY GOOD (VG to VG+)**
The vinyl retains its bright original glossy luster. Side A is clean (VG+). Side B features two small, superficial visual scratches measuring roughly 1cm each. As noted above, these do not affect the playback quality whatsoever; it play-tests without issue.
* **OUTER SLEEVE: VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)**
The iconic banned sleeve is structurally solid, stiff, and crisp. No major ring wear, spine splits, or graffiti. Original warning sticker is securely attached. Shows only light, normal shelf-wear to the edges from careful storage.
* **INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT (EX)**
Includes the original printed lyric inner sleeve. In fantastic, clean condition with minimal handling creases and no seam splits.
---
**SHIPPING & PACKAGING:**
The record will be packed professionally to ensure it arrives in the exact condition described. The vinyl disc will be removed from the outer and inner sleeves prior to shipping to completely eliminate the risk of seam splits/knifing during transit. It will be housed in a protective poly sleeve and shipped in a heavy-duty, cruciform cardboard record mailer with extra stiffener inserts.
Please see the high-resolution photos of the actual item, labels, and matrix stamps. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
