ITEM RELISTED BECAUSE OF THE IMPOSSIBILITY TO MODIFY THE oRiGiNaL LISTING TO SET IT AS A PRIVATE AUCTION, EBAY ARGUING "YOUR LISTING HAS CAUSED ERRORS" ! ! !

SO BEWARE, THIS LISTING IS A REISSUE !

Record auctionned, however, remains the original one !

So, as i said before being ebayrrupted, another real US punk by accident oddity, a 8 song 12" :

From 1983, the most accurate description for this one would be real people piano punk (NOT punk’n’roll, this is far rougher), all band members including the chick singer look like supporting roles of a Starsky & Hutch episode, but a half of the 8 songs sound like the Bags or the early Nuns doing a bar band mockery, except that the singer, on some songs, make Alice sounding almost wavy. This girl is one of the worst chick singers ever, she just can’t sing, but she likes to scream, and that makes her delivering one of the most impressive female punk growls and yowls ever put on wax, close to hysteria at numerous moments. Think I’m overhyping ? Listen to the second verse/pre chorus of the first mp3, and feel the thrills down your spine like the first time you listened to “babylonian gorgon”. The last minute of this song is plain frantic, and makes it a classic to my ears. Also, what makes this record a one of a kind is the incredibly tight guitar sound and playing, especially when the guy starts a solo, which happens on nearly every song, it’s plain raw and once again i think that’s what punk is all bout, rawness. Although the music itself is 50% rockin’ barbandish, the production values make it sounding rawer and wilder than many of “punk” labelled records. Outrageously cheap pressing vinyl plays VG+, without any skips, pops or annoying noise. Self released. Overly rare. Reserve price, as well. For the shy, i set this as a private listing so your ebay id will not be shown in the auction history.. 

Here are the links to listen to some songs. If the links don't work, feel free to let me know and i'll sent mp3 songs to you :

Cool wave rock with a chick singer. Cover is VG- (some wear, minor bends, little slashes of pen besides 2 songs titles), vinyl is VG++.

Grading system (from another ebay seller that did it perfectly, thanks from my lazy side) :

ALL RECORDS ARE PLAY GRADED, when i buy, i prefer to read in the description "it plays excellent" than "it looks excellent, with shiny luster", i"m selling records, not antique furnitures.

M (MINT) - Perfection, no flaws, defects, marks or otherwise indications of being handled or played. Any scuffs, hairline scratches or other marks disqualify discs from this category. The cover will have no corner dings, marks, tears, dents, impressions from the disc, or other flaws. Cover should appear as if a record has never been inside.

NM (NEAR MINT) - This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked. The cover may have very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.

EX (EXCELLENT) - Disc plays perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a hairline scratch or two but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked. The cover may have minor disc impression (ring wear) or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.

VG++ (VERY GOOD ++) - Some visible surface wear, a few very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean. Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying.

VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS) - Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. The difference between this and a VG++ record is the amount of scuffs and light scratches. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections (small labels or initials, etc.) but otherwise clean. Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, and/or a small seam split. Corners may have small creases or fraying.

VG (VERY GOOD) - Vinyl will have noticeable scratches or scuffs that cause minor surface noise, but do not overpower the music in any way. There will be no skips or frightening pops. Vinyl may appear somewhat dull and grayish. Labels may have small tears, tape marks, larger writing, etc. but still easily legible. There may be wear or deformation of the spindle hole. Covers are worn and used. Seams may be starting to split slightly, and I never tape seams of a record. There is moderate ringwear, but the artwork is still attractive. There may be yellowing or discoloration and there may be larger writing, labels, or marks. Corners may have damage or creases and there may be slight scratches or gouges.

G (GOOD) - Well-played, dull, grayish vinyl with deeper scratches and wear causing distracting surface noise (hisses, pops, cracks and other nasties). The record will still play through without any skips. Labels may be significantly defaced or damaged. Several (but not all of the following flaws will apply: Seam splits, large marker writing, major seam splits, significant ring wear, damaged corners, tears, cuts, gouges, masking or duct tape seam repairs, or other flaws and damage. Again, probably only useful to fill a collection niche until something better can be found.
