This is a Gastunk - Under The Sun LP  put out  by Pusmort Records of San Francisco California in 1987, 0012-19. I am not a fan of the goldmine record grading scale many use.I use a 10 scale.On a 10 scale the vinyl and jacket are an 8.75.The vinyl has minor noise at run in.The jacket has some waves at edge where record goes in.This is either from the shrink wrap tightening up or moisture.I bought this at Murmur Records of Winter Park Florida in 87.The front cover was drawn by Pushead,it is called "Melting Baki".Baki is the singer for Gastunk.It also has the liner with the lyrics translated into English.Gastunk is easily one of the most talented hardcore punk bands from Japan.I still considered this record hardcore punk even though they have several hard rock moments on it..The sound of the band is amazing,especially the guitar tone.Baki screams some songs,sings others,but he has always done that.Yes,if a lesser band did something like this it usually does not work.It works for Gastunk.Danzig did a similar thing a bit later,with much more blues in it, and few bitched about it. This was a popular record where I lived.For some it was their first time ever hearing Gastunk  and that is quite a moment.So, it is galloping punk with a lot of hard rock and some sung vocals.It Rules.The songs are: Baruth, Smash The Wall, Leather Ship, Running To The Sun,Wild Times, Breeze Calls,Husk and Regina.. I will combine shipping and ship as cheap as possible by weight.Payment via Paypal or Cashiers Check. If you buy more than one item from me I will ship everything together and base shipping charges on the weight of the total package. I will ship all over the world. Let's expand on that since ebay wants a disclaimer now on shipping out of the USA.  You need to know the customs rules of your own country. You have to pay the fees,tariffs,etc if there are any when the item gets to your country. Customs forms have to be accurate as well.  I will send stuff First Class at your risk,your decision.  First Class is untracked and uninsured.Well,it is somewhat trackable as to where/when it leaves the USA,but things can get sketchy when trying to use tracking number in your home country. That means if the package is lost,due to there being no/minimal tracking,it is more or less impossible to find. Even more important is that there is no insurance on it,so if it is lost your refund money is lost. No refund on lost First Class packages. Think hard about shipping Priority. It is more expensive (way more in some cases),but tracked and insured. So,even if the package was lost you get your money back. You have to decide if the risk of First Class is worth the money you save on shipping.That is up to you.   Media Mail in the US is $2.53US Priority is $5.80US. Canada First class is $10.55US  Priority is $28.25US. UK/Europe/South America First Class is $16.75US  Priority is $42.00US. Japan/Pacific Rim First Class is $16.75US Priority is $42.50US. Australia First Class is $16.75US Priority is $39.95US.Other countries of similar location will have similar shipping prices.  Priority is best,tracked and insured. I repeat,First Class is at you own risk. It is untracked(minimally tracked),so if the package is lost your refund money is lost.Having said that First Class has been doing sorta OK of late.There are horror stories of lost records though.You don't want that to happen to you.Thanks.
