Jacket is creased but I think this is pretty much what the guy I bought it from had it for sale for. I made him a lower offer and he accepted but this seems to be reasonable.
Inks, I have a feeling that's the copy of Firewalker I had sitting in my cart :)

I was in my local shop and came across George Michael's Freedom for $4 and let out a small yelp. Phred, the owner, looked over at me and laughed asking "find something?" A few minutes later I let out another upon finding Berlin's Greatest Hits. That was a good day and Phred could tell I was pretty excited. Like you I walked out pumped and feeling like I had scored. In hindsight I did, George Michael passed a couple weeks later and prices got stupid.
When I went to my record store I originally only had Full Metal Jacket and a couple other things. The guy running the place looked over my purchases saw full metal jacket and said “soundtracks? You like soundtracks?... hold on.” He went to the back for a minute, came back with Psycho 2 and asked if I was interested. Me trying to be cool about it I said “maybe how much do you want?” He looks the record over thinking about it for a minute. At this point I knew it was coming home with me. He says “how about $10?” “TEN dollars?!!!” I said a little too happy and loud, trying not to tip my hand I said “yeah I guess I’ll take it.” And I happily walked out of there with the deal of the day. I was pretty pumped.

LITA has only ever answered emails from me with shitty "wait or cancel your order" responses when I was only inquiring about a pre-order that was 3 months past it's ship date. They have never answered a single question I've asked. And as far as I know 2HD orders a majority of their stuff through LITA as they are one of the biggest indie distro companies in the US.
*shipping delay rant post*
Feeling a little exasperated with some of these pre-orders.
I know I should know better w 2HD, so I’m not even really griping about them (although yes I have a 2 month old order that hasn’t shipped because it turned out something was back ordered and he’s stopped answering me).
Anyone having issues with LITA? Not really getting great communication from them. (I started pre-ordering everything through them because I got tired of 2HD being 2HD and I’ve always had great luck with LITA.)
