Description
This is a live recording of Frank Zappa from the Poughkeepsie Civic Center, September 28, 1978. It is know as Project Object. Mud Shark Records MZ-3604. This has program material and notes hand written in magic marker (did they have Sharpies back then?). There is glue evidence that this had the glued on slick, but I never saw any of it, this is how I got this back in the 80's. It has the phony Billy Dexter Band labels with the correct Mud Shark Records number, MZ-3604. For some inexplicable reason the cover states 1980 (There is a crossed out number next to it), but every source I've seen states the date from 1978.
Jacket: G+ glue remnants, hand writing, 1" seam split on bottom, ringwear, stains. small tear at bottom of one side.
Inner Sleeve: VG+ Has wrinkling around the record shape
Disc: VG looks new but for a few minor paper scuffs/ scratches.
I noticed that in some of the pictures there appears to be flaws in the vinyl. These are reflections. I list flaws, and if it could be seen in my pics it would be a poor condition throwaway!
I also do not clean the records. This allows you to choose the best method to clean them yourself, and also keeps the price down. If I cleaned them, it might disguise a defect!
Records are visually graded under good light source, using the Goldmine standard. If a very rare record is being listed with lots of wear, I will have to play grade it, and will mention that in the listing. I know and love the Goldmine standard, and have been using it for 30 years. I don't like sellers that just list the grade, without the detail. I try to list the various defects (if any) so you should not be surprised when you get your record.
I will charge media mail shipping on one record, and if you buy more than one I will not charge any additional shipping. This may require some trickery to get through the checkout process. In the past I have had to put the overage in the box being shipped, lately I have figured out how to return the overage through paypal. Records over $200 I will pay insurance and bump it up to Priority Mail.
U.S.A. sales only. I do not do international sales. I am not engaged in business. I am selling my personal records for my kids tuition. I sometimes can't answer email right away, but usually can answer within 24 hours.
Shipping is a pain in the gluteus maximus, and the media rate doesn't cover the time and material to box the records. USPS is the only way I can ship. If these minimal rules don't agree with you, please don't bid!
