FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
This copy is the 1992 US issue on Red Planet (RP-1), the label's first record.

What does Media NM- / Cover Generic mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means almost like new, with only minimal signs of use. "Generic" is not a grade: it means a plain sleeve without its own artwork. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Why does "The Intruder" play differently?
Side B is cut inside-out. Put the needle down near the label and "The Intruder" plays towards the edge.
