b> Let's get this out of the way first off; Jon, I've got your record and I hope you now know how silly it was to write your name on it, way back during the Nixon administration, in the hopes of proving it was yours should a neighborhood kid steal it. See, I didn't write my name on stuff because I kept an eye on my valuables!! Even at 7 years old I did that. So anyway, Jon, you soiled an otherwise spotless LP that you lost or got rid of anyway. I hope you've broken that habit. Or at least got a job at Things Remembered to sate your desire to monogram.
I've got two copies of this LP, except mine does not have the poster. Mine is not as clean as this one either. Had Jon not written his name on this, it'd be an excellent plus rated jacket, and visually at least, an excellent plus piece of wax. Regardless, Jon had the wisdom not to mess with the poster which is perfect. I couldn't touch it with my bare hands and so I slid it out, opened it with a pencil, and snapped the shots you see here. Then I used the pencil to slide it back into the jacket. The vinyl sounded great on my test table, a Technics sl-2 belt drive table with a newish AT-92e cartridge. The set-up I use to test listen is what I'd call "average" or a bit below so my ears aren't fooled into telling my brain "holy crap, this record has layers on Tony knew about"! Like I said, given the averageness of gear I used to listen, the LP sounded outstanding. It's clean and ready to be played loudly and nastily. Play it backwards for some useful info on Satanism. I did, and I heard that Satan will bestow a Kool-Aid man and a thermometer upon those who chant his lordships name 100 times backwards. Grading
Cover=Almost great. See Jon about that.
Wax= excellent. Even Satan had a Neuman

I've been told I've got too many records. Well, too many records for the size of our house. If we lived in a warehouse, I'd be fine, but we don't. I've sold a few records on eBay and now I'm about to sell a lot more. However, I'm going to consider this my first real record selling endeavor and I hope to have an inventory of at least ten records at any given time. For right now though, I'm starting with some that are classics and need to find a better home. And by better, I mean they'll get listened to. My criteria for a record to be sold on eBay will be very picky regarding the quality of the vinyl. Any wax I list will be clean, without scratches, have minimal bonus sounds like pops, and will grade excellent or better. The jackets may have some dings, dents, bends, etc., but I'll describe those and take pics of the issues. I want to sell great listenable copies of coveted awesome records, not collectors copies that will never see a table. That's my plan and this LP is my first. Next up will be The Dead Milkmen "Giant Lizard In My Backyard"
I've not been well for the past few weeks. I had a TIA stroke, my second it turns out, and it really messed me up. I'm a young guy with a brand new daughter and this has freaked me out. Any sales I've made over the past month have been a mess. My wife has helped me get in order and I hope everyone will understand that I may not be perfect, but I'd never harm another member of eBay.
