    This auction is for a GUIDED BY VOICES -- TIGER BOMB 6 TRACK 7" EP RELEASED IN 1995 ON THE MATADOR RECORD LABEL !  This is an EXCELLENT / NEAR MINT VINYL PRESSING, with the catalogue number being OLE 168-7.



     The cardboard cover is in very good condition.  There is a light 5/8" horizontal crease in the upper left section of the front cover (see pictures #3 through #6)..  An even lighter vertical "bend" is in this same area, measuring about 1 3/4" (seen best in photos #5 and #6...if you can make it out with the magnifier).  I enlarged a couple more pics (#7 and #8) and darkened and lightened them to better see this crease.  Please take this all in to account before bidding.





     I was recently digging through my endless closet, and came across this deep-dish 7" box that contained eleven Guided By Voices 7"ers as well as some Tobin Sprout / Mitch Mitchell pieces.  


     Here's a little back story.  I had a college radio show at my local alma mater from 1978 to 1991.  I was still living locally, and they allowed me to stay on after graduation.  

     Now normally, I would say that this platter was played on my radio show, but that was not the case here (because that ended in '91).  Also, I had a roommate that had a damn good stereo, but we parted ways in 1988, so it didn't get played at home either.


     Since this disc was released in 1995, I think I can honestly say that it is previously unplayed!  In fact, it was still packed in the original box from the store I ordered it from (Good as Any...Better 'n Some in Franklin, Pennsylvania).  The first time it was played was when the disc was listened to for this ebay ad.


     I have a turntable now (such that it is...it "wows" like crazy, but it does the job for what I need it for), but definitely not back then. 



     This 7" is in EXCELLENT / NEAR MINT condition.  As it was only played once, whatever you hear or see is the way it was upon purchase back thirty years ago!  So if you hear a few light tics (there are no skips) or some low noise at the end of a song, just know that that is the way it was pressed long ago (on not the greatest quality vinyl either).



      Disc information was cross referenced with the Guided By Voices Data Base (GBVDB). 


Here's the details;

     I believe that this VINYL was a U.S. only release.  No skips were heard when this was play-tested.  This platter was released in 1995 on Matador Records, catalogue number OLE 168-7.  Please remember the cover description from above.


     The EP contains six songs;

     SIDE A:  My Valuable Hunting Knife                    Game Of Pricks                    Mice Feel Nice (In My Room)                      
    SIDE B:   Not Good For The Mechanism                     Kiss Only The Important Ones                     Dodging Invisible Rays                    



     That's it.  Again, this was never played until now, so what you hear is what you would have heard back in the '90s.  This will be shipped in a box.  I don't do envelopes.
