JANE'S ADDICTION RITUAL DE LO HABITUAL ORIGINAL EUROPE/UK VINYL 1990 WX 306 NM

	£		46
	$		61

This is a near mint condition copy of the second album by Jane's Addiction. It is the original European pressing, the first one available in UK (there was no UK pressing until 2003). Pressed by Record Service Alsdorf.
Not easy to find in such great shape. Came out in the age of the CD so the original vinyl is much harder to find. 
The B side pushed vinyl capacity to the limit at around a half hour! 
"Ritual de lo habitual is the second studio album[5] by Jane's Addiction, released on August 21, 1990, by Warner Brothers. Co-produced by Dave Jerden, it was the band's final studio album before their initial break-up in 1991. Singles from Ritual de lo Habitual include "Been Caught Stealing" and "Stop!". Ritual de lo habitual is certified 2× Platinum in the U.S.
In 1990, just one month after being released, the album had sold 500,000 units.
The album is divided into halves. Tracks 1–5 are unrelated hard rock songs. The cassette version of the album has about ten minutes of silence on side A, because side B is ten minutes longer.
Tracks 6–9 are 'in memoriam' of singer Perry Farrell's deceased girlfriend Xiola Blue, who died of a heroin overdose in 1987 at the age of 19. "Three Days" and "Then She Did" bear a progressive rock influence, while "Of Course" carries an Eastern influence, with a prominent violin throughout."
THIS ITEM WILL BE WELL PACKAGED IN A RECORD MAILER WITH STIFFENER. THE RECORD WILL BE PLACED IN A NEW PAPER INNER SLEEVE AND STORED OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE AND INNER SLEEVE. A STIFF PVC COVER WILL BE SUPPLIED.
