Here we are looking at Cinderella’s Long Cold Winter LP.
This one is in tremendously nice shape – from the cover, thru the inner and both sides of the wax. The cover has been and remains in its original shrink (but opened), so it is very well preserved. By the opening, there is a little bit of age discoloring, but really that is about all I have to report here – it looks mint otherwise. Nice hype sticker and price tag still intact.
The inner is original, so has the band on one side and lyrics on the other. This one is not even split, which is super rare for an inner – it suggests the vinyl was not often moved in and out of the sleeve. I can put it in a plain paper one for shipping, to preserve that for you.
That idea (virgin record) is further supported by the labels, which show no marks by the spindle hole – so no one was ever trying to find it, sliding the record around. Again, all of it leans toward this record was likely never played at all…and the vinyl supports that too. The wax on both sides is pristine – I saw nothing in it at all, not a needle mark or a storage scuff. So this should spin at a full NM for you – I see no reason it wouldn’t.
Put simply, you are likely to never find an opened used record as nice as this – especially from 80s hair metal bands.
