Description: This seems to be an original pressing from 1978. The "Made In Portugal" sticker suggests that this may have been sold as an import in a US record shop, but why I do not know because there aren't any bonus tracks or differences in the songs from the regular US pressings that I could detect. I'm not a huge Talking Heads fan so maybe there is a difference that I simply didn't notice because of my ignorance, but either way this pressing is from Portugal. Vinyl Playback Grade is VG+Vinyl Cosmetic Grade is VG+ Jacket is VG+ Inner Sleeve is G+ please see playback grading descriptions below I played the entire record and there were no skips or repeats. You'll hear light surface noise though between tracks and during softer passages/fades that is typical of vintage vinyl, but not necessarily all the time. This record has a slight bow to it (possibly from being stored improperly) that doesn't affect playback in any way, but it's important for me to disclose this so that you're fully informed before making your purchase Please review the pictures for further details on the condition of the jacket. Your record will be shipped in a cardboard LP mailer and wrapped in shipper's wrap inside for further moisture protection. The record will be removed from the jacket and placed in the inner sleeve outside of the cover (and secured with cardboard) so that it doesn't slide around inside the jacket and create damage during transit. If the record has a unique picture sleeve the record will be placed in a generic poly-sleeve or recycled sleeve for shipping. If you have any special packing requests contact me BEFORE making payment so that I can adjust the shipping costs accordingly. Please do not bother to send me a message with packing instructions after payment as it will be disregarded. REGARDING SHIPPING: The default shipping option that you see is Media Mail which is inexpensive, but sometimes unpredictable with no guaranteed delivery time. I have shipped over 2000 records using Media Mail without any hassles, but there have been a few instances where the record took a month to arrive and was stuck at a sorting facility for two or more weeks. If you want a faster method with a guaranteed delivery time I suggest that you choose the Priority Mail option. Please review our other listings for other vintage vinyl titles that may be of interest to you. My Grading System Definitions: NM - 10/10 playback quality. Record is open, but sounds like new EX - 9/10 playback quality. Might have a minor playback disruption or two, but nearly perfect in playback otherwise VG++ 8/10 playback quality. Will have more minor disruptions than EX but still really good playback VG+ - 7/10 playback quality. Will have light surface noise between tracks and maybe during fades and softer passages VG - 6/10 playback quality. Will have evident surface noise between tracks and softer passages/fades, but won't disrupt the listening experience most of the time. Might have ticks as well. VG- - 5/10 playback quality. Will have obvious surface noise all the time, but not necessarily ticks or pops. G+ - 4/10 playback quality. Will be crackly with some pops and ticks G - 3/10 playback quality. Will be crackly with plenty of pops and ticks F - 2/10 will have skips and likely be very crackly with ticks and pops. Likely warped as well. W - 1/10 will have skips and/or repeats. Will have lots of "snap crackle and pop" and probably warped as well.
