The Dead Milkmen - Big Lizard In My Backyard --- VG+/EX Vinyl --- 1985 Enigma Records LP # 72054-1 / Fever Records # HOT85008
Flaws  --- I'm callin' the vinyl as VG+, just in case.  Y'all will probably say it's better than that ...... Inner poly sleeve is the original and VG+...... Outer jacket - please see the photos - Corners dinged, some whatever's here and there, but one notable thing:  Back top left at the edge.  Something got on the it - yes, way back in the day when this was new - and when I went to get it off, the 'Z' and 'A' in 'Lizard' came off with the 'something'.  This rekkid was in my club crates from the day I bought it.
Music  ---  Ever need to get a tool or something for work and found out it was way cooler than you thought it would be ?   'LIR started playing "Bitchin' Camaro".... First time I heard it, dang near drove off the road.  Teh phunnie muchness..... "Ah wow, how'd ya get a car ?   Oh, my folks drove it up here from the Bahamas.   You're kidding ?    I must be, the Bahamas are islands."    Heh.   :-P
That was all I knew of the band.  That one song.  There were three demo cassettes before it and apparently they were well-known in their native habitat, PhillyAndDelphia.   So I hunt down a copy of the album - not easy to do at the time and I was in the business - pick it up on the way out to my club for the night.  Get there, power up the system, I gotta hear what all the talk is about, that these guys are one of a kind, funny, biting, and th...... Beach Song ! ..... Rastabilly ! ..... and of course, the 'need an inhaler to listen to it', Takin' Retards To The Zoo !!!  ...... Ha !    I was hooked.   Instant Dead Milkmen fan generated.
Fast-forward to August, 2022.   Blew my mind when I went to look up value for listing.  This thing's worth a 'plum dumb' 'swordfish' load of money.   Which brings me to the pressing/edition/release identification.....
This listing is NOT one of the editions with anything extra inside - no folded insert (either one of the inserts, there were two different things).  It's not any of the re-issues on color (or black) vinyl.  It's not the edition with the printed inner sleeve.   According to several people who know, this is what's supposedly - and I can't verify it - this is what's supposedly the original one-pressing from Enigma's first signing the band.   On the Discogs website, it's their listing number 11664212.   The runout - the space on the vinyl - both sides - between the last song and the label is as follows for 'Front Yard' and 'Back Yard' respectively:   HOT-84007-A 72054 F/W NS S-14612  ......  HOT-84007-B 72054 F/W NS S-14613
So why did I start the listing below the mid-line ?   Simple two part-answer:   1.  The deal with the top left on the back of the outer jacket.   and..... B.  I have this nasty habit of starting listings lower than anyone else on ebay.
Anyway, enough of that stuff, it's standard legal-eagle-type official business disclaimer time.   The following mass of words below appears on all my listings, this'n one ain't no exception.

Now for the not-reduced-to-ultra-fine-print business part - this is on every listing I run up - so you can be sure nobody gets screwed over and I don't get taken to the cleaners by folks who would do so to get stuff for free, or worse, make a seller look bad for whatever reason (yes, it happens and that's sad).   I'll also never and I mean never ever notaneffingchance - I'll never engage a 'bid-bot' in the blind to run up an auction price.   That's about as lowlife as anyone can get in business and says a lot about them as a person.
I'm offering new wave and prog rock (and some other styles including a few titles of very early-in-the-game techno/rave) CD's and vinyl.
Most of what's offered will be set in at auction.   Some items may start as low as $2.99.   From time to time, items will be run up at a fixed price and without question, at time of listing will be the lowest price - period - and will keep checking to make sure that's the case.
I don't accept offers.  Why won't I accept offers ?   Just being honest here:  Having a full-time-plus job and staying on top of my 'store' here is difficult enough.   Sellers get screwed sometimes without realizing it and when sellers decline offers, customers can get corked off, start cussin' n' stuff......  It becomes overwhelming and more than once at the start, I considered chucking it all.   So no offers entertained, and please don't ask.    I probably won't reply anyway (and if that-all makes me seem the a-hole, then so be it).
You might notice I'm going a tad over the top with most descriptions and sometimes the amount of photos on many listings.   That's solely so you know which end is up.   Not gonna hide anything.   Any missing artwork, pieces, parts, etc., and/or any real flaws on all items will be noted in plain language and sight in the description panel and of course, in the photos.
I was a nightclub DJ on LawnGuyLand NooYawk back when new wave was new and almost every new wave title I have - vinyl and CD - 95% of 'em - were "working" items.   I'll never ever offer for sale any item I wouldn't buy myself,   I'd rather just give 'em away or toss 'em in a dumpster.   Please see the photos on each new wave/club-use item listed, you'll understand.   If CD jewel cases or inner sleeves on vinyl were replaced with new, that will be noted as well.  More......
On most of the new wave CD's and vinyl, there's stickers with my hand-written notes (BPM, Artist/Title, version, etc.). It was easier to see that in a dark club/DJ booth than pulling the rekkid itself.   I make no apologies for doing the sticker thing - it helped.   I know I wasn't the only one doing this kind of thing either.
No warranty expressed or implied on any item offered.   All sales final.   No returns.
Buyer is responsible for any sales taxes and/or VAT due.  Shipping not included in price, be it an auction or fixed price listing.

NewWaveAndProgRockDJ (meaning yours truly) absorbs the cost of cartons/packing material. It might not seem like much, but if you've never sold items before, the cost of padding material, packaging, new CD jewel cases and even carton sealing tape, that stuff adds up rather quickly.   Also, let's not kid ourselves:  Of course that cost is built into the opening bid price.   Momma dinna rayz no dummie. ;-)
As far as actual packing goes, I'm kinda sorta maybe pretty good at making sure your item(s) leave here with their seat belts properly fastened, seat in the upright position and tray-table secured to the seat in front. Tain't my first rodeo with ye olde shipping/receiving/logistics thing.
NewWaveAndProgRockDJ (again, meaning yours truly) is not responsible for any delays, non-receipt, permanently lost in the bilge of a slow boat to nowhere, nor damage incurred by your items during shipping and transit to you via any carrier.  And adding to that:
Here's an important note for international customers:  Please be advised that customs departments here and on your end will quite probably open your package for inspection.  Once your package is documented as received by our postal service here for transfer to the eBay international system, NWAPRDJ does not and will not assume any responsibility of any kind, financial or otherwise, for any and all delays, issues and/or damages caused by any national or private postal service, customs division or other agency, including contract carriers, that had possession of your package even for a single second.
Re-sellers welcome. If you think my opening bid/fixed pricing makes me seem off my meds - meaning I'm way under what something should go for - please by all means grab it and go for it.  It's all good.
