"Appetite For Destruction"  (1987)

Guns N' Roses' first full-length LP from 1987.  This is the original US 1st pressing with the withdrawn "rape" cover which was banned very early into this album's initial run.  This is 100% original and is not a more common reissue or import pressing.  The spine lists the catalog number as being XXXG 24148.

Cover  EX

A very nice example of this rare cover.  There is no ringwear, writing or creasing.  The corners are lightly bumped and there is noticeable edgewear, the worst of which is a 3 inch seam split at the center of the top.  The artwork itself looks nearly pristine.  This would be an excellent candidate for framing.

Vinyl   NM-

Very strong condition on this early pressing with the raised "A" on it's label by the spindle hole.  No scratches, just a few light surface marks.  I bought this used so I can't say for sure, but it looks like it's only been played a few times.  Comes with it's original custom inner sleeve.
