Up for auction is a vinyl copy of Yung Wu's 1987 album, "Shore Leave," on Coyote Records.  Coyote Records Cat.# TTC 87119.  This is an original pressing from 1987, not a reissue.  The vinyl edition of this title is currently out-of-print!  The best of the Feelies side projects, as good as any of the Feelies regular releases!  A very rare & out-of-print title!

Cover is in EX condition.  A very well cared for jacket.  Upper right hand corner has a promo cut.  A bit of sticker residue on front of jacket.  No seam splitting or staining.
Vinyl is EX condition.  Some very shallow and minor scuffs caused by the inner sleeve.  No skipping on either of my turntables.  Sounds amazing!

The All-Music Guide has this to say: 

One of the most overlooked and underrated albums to emerge from the Feelies universe, Yung Wu's Shore Leave ranks highly in the group's oeuvre, at least the equal of and in some ways superior to the three albums the Feelies released under their own name between 1985 and 1991. Yung Wu was led by singer/songwriter Dave Weckerman, who had been the drummer in the Feelies' first lineup before being replaced by Anton Fier. Backed by Glenn Mercer and Bill Million on guitars (they also produced the album), John Baumgartner on keyboards, Brenda Sauter on bass, and Stanley Demeski on drums, Weckerman finds a midway point between the mellow, twangy rootiness of contemporaneous Feelies records like Only Life and the more tightly wound jangle of 1980's Crazy Rhythms. Resulting songs like the title track, "Spinning," and the quietly tense "Return to Zion" are archetypal examples of the Hoboken sound that was a mainstay of late-'80s college radio. The album's three covers -- Neil Young's "Powderfinger," the Rolling Stones' "Child of the Moon," and "Big Day," a Brian Eno song that originally appeared on Phil Manzanera's solo album Diamond Head -- were proudly uncool by 1987 terms, which of course only makes them cooler. Shore Leave was largely ignored at the time, selling fewer than 5,000 copies all told, but it's a minor classic of '80s jangle pop ripe for rediscovery.
