*****Keep in mind, that at this store you are buying sealed records/promo records/Unplayed promo records/lightly used personal records that came directly from A&M, Polygram/Vertigo record label. We are not thrift store cowboys/cowgirls that are buying other peoples junk to sell. We know the history of our items, everything has been properly stored/looked after with care, sanitized/cleaned/no fingerprints/smudges lol. Buying sealed records from thrift store/yard sale flippers is so risky. Where has the vinyl been? Has the vinyl been exposed to heat, cold, stored properly to prevent the record from warping.***** 

Hello, and thank you for viewing my listing. Yes, this is a sealed ELEKTRA original 1988 PROMO CDN/USA 1st press (these are the same issue/mastering for Canada and the USA. The 1st vinyl issue of 1981 wasn't reissued in North America until 1988. *****The original 1981 master is super, however, the only issue IMHO to the original master was that it is bass lacking. This is great part about the 1988 release, there is much more bottom end with simple EQ adjusting. Not a remastered modern reissue that has been painted with digital "pixie dust". The remastered version is hollow with a bright/harsh metallic airiness that is so unnatural.

As, mentioned in my other vinyl record listings, my partner and I worked in the music industry for 30 years combined for A&M Records Canada and Polygram/Vertigo Canada. I have a few PROMO copies of this that were given to me in 1988 in Toronto through our industry. We have acquired thousands of sealed/sealed promo/Unplayed promo LPs in our years in the industry. The chances of finding another sealed copy of this classic album are next to impossible. So, you know what to do. This is a great find for a fan and collector. This one is sealed with a small PROMO hole on the bottom right-hand corner. Virgin vinyl!!, and not a modern reissue, original vinyl is always better ;).
