Plays at 45 RPM not 33. Import from Europe. Vinyl plays nicely; a few light hairlines (play-graded). Double LP. Cover looks great; a few creases near edges; light-scuffing, slight discoloration, and surface impressions (front/back). Inner-sleeve is original (photos/lyrics/credits); three seams partially split. Spine is easy-to-read with mild-wear; developing split near center. Little shelf-wear along top/bottom-edge; minor wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Not a cut-out.)
Astronaut, by Duran Duran, was Duran Duran's first studio album since Pop Trash (2000), and the first (and to date, last) full album since Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983) to be recorded by the most famous five-member lineup of the band (the stand-alone 1985 single A View to a Kill was their last studio recording together). Astronaut received mixed reviews from critics but was nevertheless a commercial success, peaking at No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart to become the band's highest-charting album in the UK since Seven and the Ragged Tiger in 1983. The album also peaked at 17 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and reached the top ten in six other countries. In 2021, the band signed a deal for the album with BMG (along with Medazzaland, Pop Trash and Red Carpet Massacre) which saw it being re-issued in the UK on various digital platforms.
