This is the LP by Tom Petty "Full Moon Fever" Catalog# MCA-6253 MCA Records 1989. 

Jacket (NM)  Some very light storage wear only. Nice corners.  Perfectly legible spine. No rips or tears. No writing or defacing. No seam splits on spine or other sides. Nice images on front and back. Cover still shows original luster.  This was well taken care of.Excellent condition.  Comes with protective plastic sleeve. 

Inner Sleeve/LP (VG+/NM-) Original lyrics inner sleeve. Custom labels. Labels are sharp and clean.  A small scratch, that causes a bit more noticeable crackling at end of Long Road.  Otherwise just a few light stray crackles over the course of the record.  No deep scratches that would cause any skips, repeats or other flaws. Very nice play-back. 

Of interest:    Built on the strengths of "Come Sail Away"'s ballad-to-rock metamorphosis, which gained them their second Top Ten hit, and on the high harmonies of newcomer Tommy Shaw throughout "Fooling Yourself," The Grand Illusion introduced Styx to the gates of commercial stardom. The pulverized growl of "Miss America" reveals the group's guitar-savvy approach to six-string rock, while De Young pretentiously struts his singing prowess throughout the title track. Shaw's induction into the band has clearly settled, and his guitar work, along with James Young's, is full and extremely sharp where it matters most. Even the songwriting is more effluent than Crystal Ball, which was released one year earlier, shedding their mystical song motifs for a more audience-pleasing lyric and chord counterpoise. Reaching number six on the album charts, The Grand Illusion was the first to display the gelled accomplishments of both Tommy Shaw and Dennis De Young as a tandem.. (allmusic) 

****SALEM ATTIC NOTES**** All records are inspected beforehand.  If they need a cleaning I do so. I use a spin clean system, that does a good job. Sometimes it does not get out the real tough stuff, so I do that by hand if need be. I always recommend that when you get your record you give it a quick clean with your preferred method or at least with some rubbing alcohol and a cloth. A record can never be too clean!  I check the vinyl for scratches, blemishes, warps, sleeve rash etc.  If the condition of the record is anything but new I will give it a full listen with a pretty decent pair of Pioneer headphones.  I will give you the details of what I find in the Product Information part. I give all the jackets a dusting regardless. If the jacket is dirty or stained and can be cleaned without damaging it, I will do that as well. When I am done the LP & jacket go into a 2 mil protective clear plastic sleeve. The standard way I store and ship is with the LP & sleeve behind the jacket to prevent spine split, ring wear etc...to the jacket.  During mailing each LP is put between two cardboard record pads and then inside the record mailer. Everything is stamped fragile but if your local PO/Mail Carrier is not the gentlest, let me know and I take that into account when packing.
