Description: About this item: “Captive” was a 1986 crime thriller directed by Paul Mayersberg, staring Irina Brook and Oliver Reed. The soundtrack to the movie was composed by The Edge, and thus is the only full length solo album by any member of U2. The Edge had approached musician Micheal Brook to be a collaborator on the project. Brook, had invented the infinite guitar, which The Edge has been known to use, most notably on “With or Without You”. Brook co-produced the album, and helped with the writing and the instrumentals throughout the album. All of the tracks were recorded with Kevin Moloney with Pearse Dunne in Dublin. Of particular note is the use of a young vocalist on the track “Heroine”. The Edge approached a young Sinéad O’Connor to sing on the track and this is one of her earliest recorded songs, her own first single being released the following year. The song “Heroine” also includes Larry Mullen on drums. The song entered the UK charts on October 4, 1986 at number 89. LP jacket in excellent condition – vinyl LP is excellent.

To qualify as Mint, the record must never have been played and is possibly still sealed. Mint should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. Note that a record can be sealed and not Mint. There could be sleeve discoloration, ring wear, or vinyl warp if guidelines on how to store vinyl were not followed. If you suspect your record is in Mint condition, do not play it. Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. A Near Mint (NM) record has more than likely never been played. The vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The sleeve of a 45 of EP should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. The LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam-splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. Many dealers won’t give a grade higher than NM, implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. Very Good Plus (VG+) A Very Good Plus (VG+) record will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Any defects are of a cosmetic nature and do not affect the actual playback. In theory, a VG+ record should sound the same as a Near Mint (NM) one. Vinyl surfaces may show some signs of wear, such as slight scuffs or very light scratches. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are okay. The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a small seam-split. An LP cover may have sparse signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, it plays perfectly, and if not for some minor aesthetic wear, it would be Near Mint. Very Good (VG) The defects found in a Very Good Plus (VG+) record will be more pronounced in a Very Good (VG) item. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, such as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, a VG item will not have all of these problems at the same time. CONDITION: This item is in excellent or mint condition unless stated above.
