	£		490
	$		649

Media: Mint

Sleeve: Mint

New Zealand red vinyl pressing.

Released exclusively for the U2 Joshua Tree Tour to all VIP ticket holders.

This was obtained from someone who was at an Australian concert as part of the Joshua Tree tour.

They had a VIP ticket which enabled them to obtain this limited pressing.

The record is brand new and sealed and this lot also includes the laminated pass, tour poster and hessian bag containing these 3 items.

The poster is unused and has been rolled in a tube since the gig. It does however have some minor creases.

Due to the size of the package (mainly due to the poster tube) this will have to be sent via a courier and postage cost reflects this

Grading
Itemsthat we sell are graded using the Goldmine standard.

Mint(M)
Vinyl:
Absolutelyperfect in every way. Certainly never been played, even stillsealed.
CD:
Perfect.No scuffs/scratches, unplayed ? possiblystillsealed.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak:Perfect. No wear, marks, or any other imperfections ? possiblystillsealed.

NearMint (NM or M-)
Vinyl:
Anearly perfect record. A NM- record has more than likely never beenplayed, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfectionsduring playback.
A45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects,such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have nocreases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeablesimilar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, suchas posters, lyric sleeves, etc.
CD:
Nearperfect. No obvious signs of use, it may have been played ? but ithas been handled very carefully.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak:Near Perfect. No obvious wear, it may have only the slightest ofmarks from handling.

VeryGood Plus (VG+)
Vinyl:
AVery Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played andotherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actualplayback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear andmay have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don?t affectone?s listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect thesound are ?OK?. The label may have some ring wear ordiscoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks maybe present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slightwear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP covermay have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole,indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minorthings wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.
CD:
Afew minor scuffs/scratches. This has been played, but handled withgood care ? and certainly notabused.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak:Slight wear, marks, indentations, it may possibly have a cut-out hole(or similar).

VeryGood (VG)
Vinyl:
Manyof the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VGdisc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in softpassages and during a song?s intro and fade, but will not overpowerthe music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as withlight scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that willaffect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape orstickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true ofpicture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of theseproblems at the same time.
CD:
Quitea few light scuffs/scratches, or several more-pronounced scratches.This has obviously been played, but not handled as carefully as aVG+.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak:More wear, marks, indentations than a VG+. May have slight fading, asmall tear/rip, or some writing.

Good(G), Good Plus (G+)
Vinyl:
Arecord in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through withoutskipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, andvisible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits,especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear,or other defects will be present. While the record will be playablewithout skipping, noticeable surface noise and ?ticks? willalmost certainly accompany the playback.
CD:
Thereare a lot of scuffs/scratches. However it will still play throughwithout problems. This has not been handled with much care atall.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak:Well worn, marked, more obvious indentations, fading, writing, than aVG ? possibly a more significant tear/rip.

Poor(P), Fair (F)
Vinyl:
Therecord is cracked, badly warped, and won?t play through withoutskipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split onall three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP coverbarely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split,crinkled, and written upon.
CD:
TheCD (if it is included) may or may not play some or all of the tracks.See the seller?s comments fordetails.
Insert/Inlay/Booklet/Sleeve/Digipak:Very worn. It may have obvious writing on it, it may be ripped/torn,or significantly faded, or water damaged.
