From Antilles Records (AN 7067), this is NO NEW YORK, an original (first?) pressing in very nice condition. Jacket is about VG+ showing slight wear to seams and corners (seams and spine intact and sturdy); minor overall wear including a few faint creases to cover. The vinyl is about NEAR MINT MINUS showing no marks on playing surfaces and clean labels. You're not likely to find a better-sounding example of this punk funk/no wave classic!

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden parachute. Instead, you’re helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage, or a student pay for college. Our customers are our shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy. Thank you for supporting small businesses.
