FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. It is the 1983 Swedish first edition on Wave (WAVE-LP-8006), pressed by Audiodisc AB.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that hardly affect the overall impression. The sleeve shows light shelf wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Is “Turn The Cross Upside Down” on this record?
No, that song is not on this album. Fire In The Brain has eight songs, with the title track closing side B.
