WHY THIS RECORD MATTERS
Vixen's debut was one of the defining all-female hard rock releases of the late-80s glam era, breaking into mainstream rock radio and MTV rotation on the strength of "Edge of a Broken Heart" and "Cryin'." The album blends polished pop-metal hooks with genuine musicianship, and remains a sought-after staple for collectors of the era.
CONDITION
VINYL: VG+ approaching Excellent — Clean grooves with good sheen. Plays with good clarity. Light signs of age consistent with a 35+ year-old record, nothing that detracts from the listening experience.
COVER: VG+ — Cover art displays well. Light wear on edges and corners consistent with age. No splits, no water damage.
I grade conservatively using Goldmine standards.
