FRASER & DEBOLT: SAME 

Canadian folk/psych 1978 issue in shrink wrap and close to mint, featured in the Acid Archives:

"This remarkable album has left an imprint on many. It's hard to find another record that is so unanimously treasured by the rare people who have heard it, and has had such a huge influence on so many while being heard by so few. The reason is the same reason the record sold squat: it's full of gorgeous ragged edges and inspired imperfections. It's human and heartfelt with no pretense or gloss. We're talking out-of-tune violin licks, intentionally dissonant chord progressions, backing vocals that are out of time and out of sync, and a general loose feeling in which every experiment seems to have been dreamt up on the spur of the moment (though it's more likely that they picked and chose wisely after years of trial and error.) On all but one song (which adds sax and piano) the musical backing is merely two acoustic guitars and violin, often arranged with a punk-like simplicity. Yet every song sounds full and rich, each is different from the others, and the unique approach to dual vocals fills the songs with left turns, sublime beauty, and moments that will make the most jaded listener smile. It's been called "art-folk," which is as good a description as any. It's also rock and roll without electricity or drums, and acid folk without any of the daze or confusion. More than anything else, this is a style of singing that usually drives me nuts, a type of instrumental arrangement that usually leaves me wanting, and the type of duo for which I usually wish one or the other would just shut up and let the other sing, yet it's done so well that none of those thoughts ever cross my mind." 

Both cover and vinyl are in EX condition. Cover has light ringwear

GRADING

There is nothing more irritating than buying an LP which is overgraded (about half of the LPs I have bought via Ebay has been overgraded.) so I try to grade as accurate as possible both visual and (mostly) audible and describe any flaws on the record. I grade under a 100W light bulb or sunlight. For playgrading I use my Gyro Deck turntable fitted with a Benz Micro MC pick up. If there is any dissatisfaction with any LP there is off course a moneyback warranty.

M-: Perfect copy, the copy that looks like it was bought yesterday and only have been played a few times.

EX: This has been played but still a very satisfying copy that would please most collectors. No scratches or coverwear, LP plays without any problem, as good as perfect in fact many dealers M- is what I would call EX       

VG++: This copy has been played and cover has some wear but still a very good copy that should satisfy most people except the MINT puritans

VG+: This is a played copy, plays with some clicks and background noise. But still the music should be the central part. Cover has ring wear but still not a torn cover or anything.

VG: This is a more used copy with some scratches and clicks, no stops or skips though, cover has heavy wear.
