Description
So here we've got a copy of the Shellac "Futurist" LP, also known as the Friends LP. So the story goes that this LP was recorded for a Canadian Dance troupe and instead of being issued for public consumption, the band pressed some up and mailed em to friends. The cover of the record has the names of all the intended recipients. There are 779 names...but probably more records were pressed, being that there is a spot for your name at the bottom of the front cover. Anyhow, its a really rare record and its probably Shellac's weirdest record to boot.
So it came to us via a former SF resident who needed some dough to help raise his kids and we've been proudly displaying it on the wall of Love Garden Sounds for about 6 months now and figured it was time to let ebay have it.

LP is graded VG++. You could easily call it Near Mint but its been played a couple times. I played it once and there were no audible pops at all. No corner dings on the cover. Beautiful.

ATTENTION OVERSEAS BIDDERS! Any record that sells for $80 or more is required to ship by a more secure method of shipment, and this record definitely will. We will only ship it overseas with ABSOLUTE CONFIRMATION DELIVERY, which means big money on the shipment costs or if you pay via international Money Order in ADVANCE of shipment. Paypal chargebacks force our hand in being very inflexible about these terms. Sorry to the good people of the world.
