Description
Rare 2001 original US pressing on Devil In The Woods Records. These first editions do not have the Capital Records barcode that later 2001 pressings have. Reissued again in 2012 on the horrible Plain Recordings label. Bought new and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment. Played only 2-3 times for digital archiving. Beautiful copy.
- NM gatefold cover is clean with no markings and no seam splits. Spine and edges are strong with no wear. Corners are strong and sharp with no wear and no dings. Really nice
- NM inner sleeve is clean with no markings, tears, creases or seam splits. Corners are strong and sharp with no wear. Very nice.
- NM vinyl is clean and glossy with a few minor sleeve scuffs on each side from the cardboard inner sleeve. These surface scuffs will not effect play quality. Played only 2-3 times for digital archiving. Really nice copy.

First pressing without Capital Records barcode
I am a lifelong vinyl collector (49 years old) and just starting to sell off my very large collection. Much tender loving care has gone into this collection. I have digitally archived all my albums. These are what I listen to, so most of my LPs bought new have had very few spins. All have been stored upright in 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeves in a smoke-free environment. Many more rare and hard to find collectibles to be listed. Stay tuned!
Grading is visual only and conservative (using Ebay categories):
Mint (I almost never use this grade unless it's sealed) means perfect Near Mint means just shy of perfect Excellent means light wear, or a couple light marks Very Good Plus means more significant wear but nothing serious, or more than a couple light marks and/or a few hairlines Very Good has more serious wear but it's definitely not garbage, has marks and hairlines
