Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ORIGINAL 1979 FIRST PRESS ACID ARCHIVES RARITY
..
"NO HYPE"
Robert Valente
USA -FUTURE PRODUCTIONS (PRIVATE PRESS)
Very rare...little seen 38 years ago PRIVATE PRESS limited small release that was virtually vanished overnight!
Valente remains unaccompanied throughout the two sides (five songs per side), lending an added aura of lonesomeness to his dreary worldview. It’s just his untrained voice and an electric guitar. That’s not to say you should expect Jandek-style avant-outsider a-musical compositions. There are melodies present here. There are a couple attempts at pop tunes but for the most part it’s simple dirges whose number of chords can usually be counted on one hand. One had that might be cut short a few fingers. As for themes, ”Home,” seems to be a popular one returned to at different points on the album. On the opening track Valente sings of leaving home. On the very next track the protagonist sings of returning home. “Dreamin'” is about (again) saying goodbye to one’s life and getting away. “Come On People” is again about the desire to pack up and move — this time in an attempt to bring others along for the ride. Moving on from the past is a central theme, whether it’s relationships (“Dreamin'”) or childhood (“High School”). There’s an undercurrent of vengeance or redemption as well. Mostly it’s played and sung from the perspective of a loner seeking an audience. We think that’s what fans of this genre will love about this record. For all the hopelessness and grit and frustration with his station in life, Valente’s trying to share deeply personal feelings with the world that he hopes will resonate with listeners. And even if it’s not the most professional recording put to tape by an accomplished songwriter, it comes from the heart of a guy who isn’t ashamed of who he is or what he’s saying. And for that reason “No Hype” makes for viscerally real and pure album. It’s a fantastic outsider/real people release that could have easily not existed at all....

CONDITION: The cover: rated: Thick private press cover has a completely "lost" artifact appearance ... and this survivor has been carefully handled, rated M- so there are no delete marks, no split seams, no bends, and no writing ... VERY collection worthy ...
The vinyl: Rated: M- very clean and clear surfaces on both sides, though this copy has similar to most (few) copies found slight/minor wave which is only visual and not pronounced, so tracks perfectly without issue ... meaning play back should not reveal any distracting surface problems ... both private press labels are clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
