Description

Up for sale is a verified early 1984 US pressing of the classic Violent Femmes self-titled debut album. This version is the sought-after Specialty Records Corporation (SRC) pressing, identified by the distinctive SLM △6040 matrix etchings in the runout groove.

Why This Pressing Matters:

  • Audio Fidelity: Collectors often prefer these early 80s SRC pressings because they utilize high-quality metalwork from Sheffield Lab Matrix (SLM), resulting in a clean, dynamic sound that modern digital remasters often lack.

  • Historical Accuracy: This pressing was released just as the album was beginning its legendary rise to cult status, predating the later massive-volume reissues from the late 80s and 90s.

  • Handwritten Artwork: Includes the original lyric inner sleeve with handwritten text and band photography.

  • Safe Shipping: As always, this record will be shipped in a purpose-built vinyl record mailer with stiffeners to ensure it reaches you safely.

✂️ Condition Details

  • Overall Condition: Used - Good.

  • Vinyl Quality: Play-tested and plays fine through both sides. The SLM/SRC metalwork provides a superior playback experience for a vintage copy.

  • Outer Jacket: Shows honest shelf wear on all four corners. The spine and edges show standard age-related rubbing.

  • Inner Sleeve: Note the seam split where the original glue has let go, common for 40-year-old paper sleeves.
