Hi there.

Well, here it is. An awesome copy of White Zombie's La Sexorcisto Devil Music Volume One on CLEAR vinyl and in awesome shape. I bought this record listed as Mint and it is in the exact same shape as when I got it. I find it difficult to rate vinyl and I've had a customer once say he thought I rated the vinyl slightly higher than he thought it was, which I found frustrating. It is not an exact science. I only buy records that are mint, and the odd one at EX+. This vinyl is clear, but as far as I can tell there is only one surface mark on it anywhere, and no real scratches. It plays as close to perfect as pretty much any vinyl does. There may be one or two tiny pops along the way somewhere, but pretty much flawless. I will say the vinyl is EX+ to M-. The cover and everything else is mint. Has the original inner sleave with art work and lyrics.

1992 Geffen Records.

Review by Jacob N. Lunders

Perhaps co-defining the future of heavy metal, White Zombie's major-label debut nearly equals fellow classics Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction, the Cult's Electric, and Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger in significance. With a funky rap-metal undercurrent, these metal monsters combine Black Sabbath's riff sludge and Metallica's rhythmic intensity, a combination that would again resurface in the late '90s. On La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1, Zombie and co. take listeners on a hokey carnival ride capable of inducing vomit yet provide an exhilarating, heart-throbbing metal experience. Tactless and continuously shocking, lyricist Rob Zombie reveals blatant tales of muscle cars, sleazy encounters, and Fangoria-mustered fantasy, clearly paying homage to vintage trash culture. Complemented by Russ Meyer film soundbites and demonic aura, Zombie ridicules middle American Leave It to Beaver values and insolently challenges the politically correct. Diabolical manifestos such as the barbaric "Soul-Crusher," macabre "Spiderbaby (Yeah-Yeah-Yeah)," and sexually indiscreet "Thrust!" will intrigue those yearning for lewd explicitness but may offend traditional hard rock enthusiasts. "Thunder Kiss '65," an ode to Russ Meyer's 1965 busty B-movies Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Mudhoney, remains this album's most listenable and enduring highlight. Along with perverted lyrics, Rob Zombie's vocal snarls and the band's muscular metal thunder produce the furious concoction that secures La Sexorcisto: Devil Music, Vol. 1's place in heavy metal history. Weak appetites for raunchy, tongue-in-cheek decadence need not apply.
