Description
THE LAWN Peace In The Valley (CDN) Secret Song Records SSR-001 (RDR 12-9)
This is a 1986 pressing of The Lawn's brilliant debut lp, "Peace In The Valley". Released in limited quantities (approx. 500), this lp is among the finest Canadian Indie albums of that era. Full of fantastic writing, playing and singing. Every song a winner. Vastly overlooked and underrated. This one does not surface very often. A chance to get a rare piece at a fair price.
Dead Wax Info: Side 1 has RDR-12-9-A and Avoid The Devils Well Laid Plans... all etched into the dead wax. Side 2 has RDR-12-9-B and ...But Don't Suck Up To God all etched into the dead wax. Original (one and done) Canadian Secret Songs Records pressing circa 1986.
Vinyl Visual Grade: VG+ at least with some insignificant paper lines and a wee bit of dust. Could use a cleaning. Labels are great.
Vinyl Play Grade: VG+/NM with no real issues. Plays beautifully with a tiny bit of noise on lead-in. Fairly LOUD lp.
Cover Visual Grade: VG+ or better on this plain white cardboard cover. This is one of the original inside-out covers. A bunch were silk-screened, but unfortunately this one was not.
Comes with heavy audiophile plastic inner sleeve.
Hello all. My name is Jamie and I have been collecting records for 40+ years. It is time to trim down my unmanageable inventory. My tastes run all over the sonic map, so there should be something for almost everyone.
ALL records will have been visually inspected under BRIGHT incandescent light with extreme scrutiny.
ALL open records will have been play graded using a Thorens TD 165 turntable and Yamaha amplifier (JBL reference headphones). Treble set high so nothing will be hidden in my grades. My grading is as follows:
M or Mint - NOT USED as there is no such thing as perfection.
NM or Near Mint - No significant markings - sealed or RARELY played.
VG+ - Minimal marking - none of which significantly affects fidelity of lp.
VG - Minimal to modest marking which affects lp but not to the point of distraction.
G - Modest marking but still VERY listenable, depending on your ears.
I WILL NOT SELL ANY LP AT LESS THAN G UNLESS THERE IS SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL VALUE ATTACHED TO THE LP.
ALL COVERS WILL HAVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL FLAWS.
I USE PROPER RECORD MAILERS WITH STIFFENERS AND PADDED CORNERS. I HAVE BOUGHT TOO MANY RECORDS ON EBAY WITH DINGED CORNERS FROM INSUFFICIENT PACKAGING. BY PADDING THE CORNERS WITH FOLDED BUBBLE WRAP (WHICH I DO) , YOU CAN BE SURE OF RECEIVING AN LP WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE CORNERS.
SHIPPING FEES:
Shipping will be $10 U.S. for anywhere in the U.S. as long as the weight is under 500 grams after packaging.
ON PACKAGES OVER 500g, PLEASE WAIT FOR PROPER INVOICE. MOST LPS CAN BE SHIPPED AS UNDER 500 GRAMS.
Other countries (including Canada), please refer to the Canada Post rates which should be available on the ebay shipping details within the listing.
Returns accepted within 14 days (and with good reason).
I AM A REASONABLE PERSON. I WILL ONLY CHARGE FOR ACTUAL SHIPPING, AND NONE OF THE PACKAGING COSTS. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BOUGHT ITEM, PLEASE WORK WITH ME TO FIND A SOLUTION THAT WILL BE TO YOUR LIKING. thanks for this
