Description
In the 1980's Tower Records Imports (or TRIP as they were also known) brought in over 80% of the Japanese vinyl that was available in the USA. To combat price-tag switching on these records in their Tower Records stores, they adopted a special doubled over (and thick) shrinkwrap so that the price-tags could be underneath the outer layer (and not accessible without cutting it) but not on the record's cover either.
That is what you see here!
It's a 1984 Japan issue of Joy Division's first LP Closer (Factory – YX-7338-AX), still in the special TRIP double-shrink. It has never been opened or played! Still with the original inside the shrink Tower Records price-tag (probably from 1984 or shortly thereafter) and the outer Tower Records individual store tag outside the shrink (The info on that one means: Store #183 was Beaverton OR. Tower Records, and this one received/re-stocked by them in April of 1986)
Hard enough to find this pressing at all...especially outside of Japan, but in Mint/Unplayed/Sealed condition......!!! This one has been in storage time-capsule for over thirty-five years !!
Please Note: The outer plastic covers show some age-wear
