Hmmm ... different, very early release from Mute. Similar (but different) to Gary Numan ... heavy use of synth's and somewhat strange lyrics!

Mono printed thick cardboard cover is in good condition. No personal writing on the cover or labels but yes, some creasing to the cover. No seam splits and the edgewear is minimal.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light source and I can see NO marks or scratches on the vinyl at all. Just looking at the vinyl is not a great way to judge the condition so I then played the ENTIRE release, both sides, and there are no issues with surface noise nor clicks n pops.
Special note: Interesting that just when you think the track has finished playing, it keeps on keeping on! Take Side B for example (The Box, a strange little song) when it reaches the run-out, there is a swishing sound similar to White noise but it is on the recording (not coming off the vinyl surface) and finally it goes into a slow fade out.
