Description
First things first: I am the original owner and gonna say NM on the jacket even though there is some minor tape residue along the bottom. It appears I must have taped it at some point and later got smart and removed the tape and just applied some glue. I remember doing some maintenance on my collection in the 90's so this was a likely subject. But because the gloss and images are so otherwise perfect, this gets an NM from the proud owner. The wax looks Excellent but plays legit NM.
What a great, classic album and important and influential band. Wiki says the band were "deliberate underachievers". Sounds like my two teen sons.... Anyway, makes you wonder how many moderately skilled kids filled garages around the globe and took their chops after hearing this. Would Suburban Lawns with the great Sue Tissue ever have formed? Who the hell knows and it is a bit difficult to let this go, but when its time, its time....
Note - I photographed several LPs on a bright fall day and on some you can see in the photos my reflection and the reflection of some decorative dried up branch things my wife put on the table. Also, some labels and coloring on various jackets may look uneven or faded when comparing front to back, etc. I assure you that everything is uniform and I stand behind all my records. For example some Posh Boy labels look uneven and shaded, but they are in reality clean and unfaded.
Keep in mind I sample all listings on a full Linn Sondek setup and go in LOUD. Mostly original owner/purchased in L.A. in 70’s/80’s from the original Poobah and Aron’s Record Stores in Pasadena and Hollywood. I am releasing my HUGE original punk collection, 100 per month. 100’s of LPs and 7”s remain – check me out! Everything else purchased along the way, including at the back of club tables at places like Raji's, Cathay de Grande, Club Lingerie, Madame Wong's.
