Product Description
THE SHAGGSPhilosophy Of The World LP
Rounder / Red Rooster 3032
Beautiful vinyl copy of perhaps the definitive "outsider music" record! The story of the Shaggs is, of course, legendary: patriarch Austin Wiggin decided he wanted to manage a girl group, so he conscripted his teenage daughters Dot, Helen, and Betty (and later Rachel) and bought them instruments. Though the girls cited influences such as the Monkees and Herman's Hermits, the music they created sounds like nothing else on earth, as if they were working from a description of what music was, without having actually heard it. The result is simultaneously relatable and alien, ramshackle and intricate, and, inevitably, a towering cult classic. The record was initially pressed in a private run of just a few hundred copies; this copy is from the album's early '80s rerelease on Rounder, which first brought the Shaggs to the masses. All the boys with cars want motorcycles, and all the boys with motorcycles want cars, but EVERYBODY wants this record!
COVER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY LIGHT WEAR!
VINYL IS NEAR MINT - OUR HIGHEST RATING! - AND APPEARS VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED!!

RECORD GRADING POLICY
MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale
EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Fair = you are getting this record just to own but not to play
Poor = the sky's the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest
