Description
What a gorgeous record! The beautiful Marbled Yellow vinyl is perfect with a very sharp package.
I have read that this very limited edition pressing was limited to 1,000 copies.
I really wish I had a better camera because it looks so much more stunning in person. My iPhone 4S camera just doesn't do this record justice.
And the music just tears. Sounds so good. This is THE pressing of this LP to own. Stunning!
I also have another Hives colored LP up for sale, check out the rest of my listings to see it.
A note to international buyers: the cost you are quoted for shipping is almost certainly incorrect because eBay only lets me list one shipping option for you. Send me a message now and include your location and I'll give you a quote!

Although "Barely Legal," the Hives' debut album, is often categorized as punk, it is much better suited to the genre of garage rock. When listening to it, it's easy to imagine these guys at home in their native Sweden, in the garage, annoying the whole neighborhood with their obnoxiously noisy sound.
Despite this, the Hives have created a great album, something difficult to do when playing as hard, as fast, and as loud as humanly possible. It kicks off with "Well, Well, Well," a one-minute romp in which you can picture vocalist Howlin' Pelle Almqvist stomping around and diving into a mosh-pit.
A few of following tracks are more subdued--at least by Hives standards--and allow the band to show off their talents as musicians. Guitarists Nicholaus Arson and Vigilante Carlstroem work quite well together, and their skills are especially evident on "A.K.A. I-D-I-O-T" and "Black Jack." The commanding punch packed by drummer Chris Dangerous is displayed on "Uptempo Venomous Poison" and "Closed For The Season." In addition, the songwriting (credited to the fictional Randy Fitzsimmons) shows the Hives' dissent and their penchant for hostility: "Automatic Schmuck" proclaims to the government: "I was born and plated, the schmuck they created... I'll explode, I'll erode, yeah I'll break your f---ing code, 'cause I'm an automatic schmuck with a tendency to rock".
There is some truth to the criticism that many of the songs sound the same on this record, but when the music rocks this much, who cares? All you'll care about once you drop the needle on this gorgeous record is banging your head.
