CIA - God, Guts, Guns 7" EP ORIGINAL KBD MASTERPIECE

$

148

 Rare early release from the hardcore punk band C.I.A.  This is the ORIGINAL 7"  released in 1983 on Schmegma Records from this Connecticut band.  ONLY 500 made so you won;t get too many chances at this one.  The original lyric insert is included.  If you haven't heard this record you are missing out.  It is truly a masterpiece of the genre.  The songs are great and the record is produced well.  Members of this band went on to form 76% Uncertain which also released some classic early punk records. 

This band was performing during the same era as Negative Approach, Minor Threat, The Necros, etc.  and this release shows that they stand up to even these legends of the scene.

100-A-21919 "WAKE UP EJ"

Grading Reference

************************

Mint (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way.

Excellent (EX) - A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. The sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

 Very Good Plus (VG+) - A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".

 Very Good (VG) - Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Labels and sleeve may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached.

 Good (G), Good Plus (G+) - A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.

 Poor (P), Fair (F) - The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, crinkled, and written upon.
