Talking Heads Sand in the Vaseline 1992 3LP EEC Press Mint Super Rare - First & Only Press. Vinyl is clean, high gloss, absence of scuffs, scratches, spindle marks, shows little to no evidence of play. Jacket is clean, very slight shelf wear along spine & edges. Original sleeves included with lyrics and bios. Vinyl has been removed from sleeves since I bought it in 1992 and replaced with Nagaoka sleeves to prevent paper leaching onto vinyl. In superb condition other than minor shelf wear. The EEC designation stands for European Economic Community. The EMI label on the back states "Printed in Germany"; and further states "Place of manufacture as stated on label". As the rim of the vinyl label appears to be German, I would assume this is a German press; however, it could be Netherlands or another EU country. My usual go-to for this information is Discogs, however that specific information is not listed for this pressing; it's just listed as "Europe." All info from Discogs on this record is provided below.
