110

Purchased Brand New and still in Original Shrink Wrap with one end opened to access album. This is an Original 1987 release on the Red Posh Boy logo labels and has the Consumer Response Survey Post Card from the Chameleon Music Group. Maybe played once, if at all, to put onto cassette. I always used a Shure M91ED stylus and cartridge tracking at 1 gram. This has really nice edges and corners, bottom front right corner has a very slight "rounding" and album access edge has a very slight "dent"(see pictures). Spine is nice with lettering being very close to being centered (see pictures).
This has the Consumer Response Survey Post Card from the Chameleon Music Group (see pictures). It is in Like New condition.
Original plain inner paper sleeve has no rips, splits or tears, just some very minimal wrinkling (see pictures).
Album vinyl is PRISTEEN. May of been played once (can't remember for sure) to put onto a cassette tape. If it was played, I always used a Shure M91ED stylus and cartridge tracking at 1 gram. Labels are like new and are the Silver labels with Black print with the Posh Boy print and logo are in Red (see pictures). This is a fine specimen of this release.

T.S.O.L.'s debut five-song EP, T.S.O.L., was released in spring 1981 by Posh Boy Records, featuring the reconvened original lineup. This first release was harshly political, featuring tracks such as "Superficial Love", "World War III" and "Abolish Government".

Their first full-length album, Dance with Me, was released later in 1981 on Frontier Records, and showcased a more gothic/deathrock sound. They then signed to independent label Alternative Tentacles, releasing the Weatherd Statues EP early in 1982, and the melodic Beneath the Shadows album later that year; the latter featured a new member, keyboardist Greg Kuehn.

T.S.O.L. chose to reconfigure. Joe Wood and Mitch Dean joined on vocals and drums, after Ron Emory, who was at the time playing in Wood's band The Loners, asked him to start a new band with himself and Roche. This new lineup released four albums on Enigma: Change Today? (1984), Revenge (1986) Hit and Run (1987) and Strange Love (1990). All four albums featured a more polished production style, with Hit and Run reaching No. 184 on the Billboard 200 charts, and the band touring globally to support the releases. The band's first live album, Live, was issued by Enigma in 1988.

The band became friends with Guns N' Roses, and T.S.O.L. T-shirts were seen in the video for that band's "Sweet Child o' Mine", most notably on drummer Steven Adler.
