FOR PERSONAL REASONS, I AM LOWERING THE PRICES ON ALL MY VINYL AND AUCTIONS - MANY FAR BELOW COMPETITIVE.  MAKES FOR SOME RARE ITEMS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AT LOW PRICES - THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS FOR COLLECTORS.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT  (AND SOMEWHAT RARE) COPY OF THE 1974 LP BY RUSTY WIER ENTITLED, "STONED, SLOW, RUGGED" PRODUCED ON THE ABC RECORDS LABEL IN 1974 AND NUMBERED ABCX-820. 
THE RECORD WAS TEST-PLAYED, AND IT PLAYED PERFECTLY WITH NO ISSUES. TOTALLY ENJOYED THE DISTINTIVE STYLE OF RUSTY WIER - EVERYTHING FROM COUNTRY ROCK TO ALMOST HEAVY METAL IN PLACES.  VERY NICE SELECTION OF SONGS DEMONSTRATING THE FULL VOCAL RANGE AND OVERALL SINGING TALENT OF RUSTY WEIR. 
THE ALBUM COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS WELL WITH ONLY A MINIMUM OF ANY AGE OR RING WEAR. WHAT LITTLE RING WEAR THAT MIGHT HAVE EXISTED WAS TOUCHED UP BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND IS EXTREMELY HARD TO EVEN DETECT (SEE PHOTOS). 
AS SUCH, THE LP COVER LOOKS  EXCELLENT AND HAS NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE SUCH AS SEAM RIPS, TEARS, WRITING, STAINS, ETC.  
I CAN SEE NO REASON WHY THIS LP WOULD DISAPPOINT ANY VINYL FAN.  
IT EVEN COMES IN THE ORIGINAL RECORD INLAY SLEEVE (SEE PHOTOS.   
THIS LP IS THE VERSION WITH THE BRIGHT SUNBURST YELLOW & ORANGE LABELS.
THE ALBUM IS SOMEWHAT HISTORICAL AS IT WAS RECORDED IN THE VILLAGE RECORDING STUDIOS IN LOS ANGELES THAT WAS HOUSED IN A MASONIC TEMPLE.  MANY ALL-TIME GREAT ARTISTS RECORDED THEIR ALBUMS IN THAT SAME LOCATION.
UNFORTUNATELY, RUSTY IS NO LONGER WITH US, BUT HIS WORK HE LEAVES BEHIND SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT HIS TALENT AND LEGACY.  JUST LISTEN TO THE SONGS ON THIS DEBUT ALBUM FOR RUSTY, AND YOU WILL NOT HELP BUT APPRECIATE HIS "OUTLAW" APPROACH AND STYLE OF PERFORMING.
IF YOU ARE GOING OWN THIS LP ALBUM, YOU MIGHT AS WELL OWN ONE THAT IS IS EXCELLENTLY PRESERVED CONDITION AND PLAYS PERFECTLY.  THAT IS IMPORTANT WITH THESE OLD VINTAGE, IRREPLACABLE ALBUMS. COMPARE THIS COPY THAT ANY OTHER ONE YOU MIGHT RUN ACROSS, AND I THINK YOU FIND THIS COPY APPEALING.
FOR THOSE WHO TRACK THE RUNOFF MATRIX NUMERS, I HAVE LISTED THEM JUST BELOW:
MATRIX RUNOUT SIDE A:  ABCX-820A /A KENDUN A MATRIX RUNOUT SIDE B:  ABCX-820B /A KENDUN A

THIS IS A MUSICAL AND AUDIO COLLECTIBLE FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE PROVEN HIGH QUALITY AND VALUABLE ENTERTAINING VINTAGE LP ISSUES FROM THE PAST. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE CONDITION OF THE PACKAGE AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS AND DESCRIBED ABOVE.

THOSE REFLECTIONS IN THE SHINY VINYL YOU MAY SEE ARE OF A CHANDELIER I HAVE HANGING OVER THE TABLE WHERE I TAKE MY PHOTOS.  DEFININTELY NOT ON THE ACTUAL VINYL.     

I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO SHOW JUST HOW NICE THE CONDITION IS OF ALL MY RECORD ALBUMS AND VINYL.  AS SUCH, I HAVE POSTED AS MANY PHOTOS AS I COULD THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF THE ALBUM COVERS, LABELS (WHEN LP IS OPENED), THE VINYL (WHEN LP IS OPENED), ETC. YOU CAN SEE THE EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THE ENTIRE PACKAGE AS IT EXISTS. 

I BELIEVE I POST MORE PHOTOS OF EACH ITEM IN EVERY AUCTION THAN MOST SELLERS SO THE BUYER CAN SEE THE HIGH QUALITY THEY ARE BUYING.

THIS COPY SHIPS FROM THE U.S.A. - NOT FROM OVERSEAS WHICH SAVES A BUNCH OF SHIPPING COSTS AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE.  HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO RETURN AN LP RECEIVED FROM OVERSEAS??  I HAVE, AND IT WAS A NIGHTMARE.
