GN'R Lies -1988 Orig 1st Press Uncensored Euro VG+/VG+

Original 1st Pressing Completely Uncensored Release w/ Wife-Beating and Dark Ages headlines and uncensored inner sleeve!

GUNS N' ROSES - LIES

Own a definitive, fully unedited piece of hard-rock history with the ultra-collectible 1988 European first pressing of G N' R Lies by Guns N' Roses. Released on Geffen Records (924 198-1) right at the height of the band's notorious early notoriety, this specific Alsdorf-pressed European edition is highly coveted as the most completely uncensored version of the album worldwide. It proudly features the instantly suppressed tabloid headlines "Wife-beating has been around for 10,000 years" and "Ladies, welcome to the dark ages" on the jacket, while preserving the raw, unedited inner dust sleeve that was quickly banned and black-barred in the United States. Half raw energy (featuring the full Live ?!@ Like a Suicide* EP) and half acoustic brilliance (anchored by the timeless ballad "Patience"), this pristine, first-run European vinyl is a top-tier investment piece for any elite rock-and-roll archivist.

1988 European 1st Uncensored Issue, released by Geffen Records and Uzi Suicide, catalog #s 924 198-1 and WX 218, barcode #075992419819.  Made in Germany.

Vinyl grades VG+.  Plays through perfectly; no issues or deficiencies.  Fairly close to a NM disc as I count fewer than 10 light marks/hairlines under magnification and direct light combined across both sides.  Disc has been ultrasonically cleaned.
