This is the original release of the Queens of the Stone Age debut album, 12 inch LP on black vinyl (MR 151). Item is in near mint/excellent condition. There is minor corner wear to the sleeve but nothing that wasn’t there when unwrapped. Tiny mark on top left side of sleeve (see photo). Back side of sleeve has a few tiny marks only visible in the right light (see photo). Vinyl is near-mint, played only once, with few scuffs/smudges typically visible on black vinyl that may even wipe away with cleaning since record has only been played once. See images for details. This would be an outstanding addition to the collection of any serious fan of Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Man’s Ruin Records, etc. It is difficult to find a copy of this hard-to-find record within the US and even harder to get one in this condition. It is basically in the same condition I received it in, having resided in my collection and unplayed. MR-151-A L-50953 (on side with label “qotsa”). MR-151-B L-50953X (on side with Man’s Ruin cat logo). These matrix numbers are etched by a person and so far as an indicator of authenticity they should be treated as such. I have comprehensive photos of condition etc available if needed; please ask for these before purchasing if you want more images to complement the condition description. As is often the case with Man’s Ruin releases, the A/B sides are not indicated as such on the record labels. NOTE: My assessments of condition do not include the plastic CD jewel case or plastic outer sleeve and the ubiquitous inner white paper sleeve (for vinyl) unless those parts are integral components of the item or were specifically made for the item being described such as an unusual case, e. A colored one, or if they have original stickers or some other thing. Please check out my other auctions for Kyuss, Fu Manchu, grunge, metal, and other stuff, CDs and vinyl.
