That's how I got mine as well. I don't care if someone's name is on the LP label (small with pen, I don't accept huge marker drawings). I like the covers clean, though a little sticker damage won't hold the sale back unless it's asking price equals a perfect copy.

this reminds me of last year when i got my Tyrant-Too Late To Pray copy. So I found it between other very common Lps (all of them used) but all of a sudden the Tyrant copy appears,still sealed! but with a big punch hole in the right low corner, i was like "fuck it, no one has ever played this and the punch hole hasnt done major damage" of course if i get a clean,still sealed NO PUNCH HOLES copy (which i doubt) ill replace it right away.

...on the other hand,wtf with this!

I have an lp that has a hole right in the center of the cover. Goes all the way to the actual record, not through it though. Weird.

I overheard a dealer saying no UK records ever had cut-outs. is this true?

heh, i have a dilemma right now, buy one of my favourite cds with punch hole for 15 $ or hunt for a copy without punch hole for 35-45 $.

If you are just a bit like me, you will never find peace until you get a copy without the h/p
