You are looking at an original first pressing of Radiohead's 2003 album Hail To The Thief on vinyl.


This is an extremely rare collectors item which I obtained in 2013 via a trade at a record show from the original owner from the UK who bought it back in 2004. You will also notice that "Le Chien" and "Le Loup" are etched in the runout grooves of side a and d respectfully which authenticates this as the 2003 original. The mastering and sound quality on this album is INCREDIBLE! For a vinyl that was cut in the early 2000s when sound quality was at an all-time low and records were more of a novelty, this sounds pretty good! Very little surface noise that gets drowned out once the music starts playing and doesn't overpower the quieter songs either. Hearing this on vinyl is an enlightening experience that is a must for every Radiohead fan.


I graded this vinyl conservatively as NM for both the sleeve and vinyl. The sleeve has incredibly minor shelf wear and the vinyl has barely visible scruffs and marks most likely due to the manufacturing process of the album. None of these imperfections affect playback and the album sounds great. I bought this album as is and I will be selling as I bought it. I'm also ACCEPTING OFFERS so please don't hesitate to send me one!
