Description

Please see below in bold for item description.

I have been collecting, playing (and occasionally selling) vinyl for over 40 years now and as some of my records have been languishing unplayed for a good few years I am now in the process of rationalising my collection. Some records I have owned from new, some are preowned, some are duplicates, it's time for some to find new homes where they will be played and enjoyed.

Some will be fairly run of the mill, but I hope to throw a few interesting ones in, I'm aiming to list 1 or 2 a week, please keep an eye open, you might pick up a bargain for a quid or two!

All records that I am going to list will have been professionally cleaned in a state of the art ultrasonic record cleaning machine; this method of cleaning means you will be getting absolutely the best sound reproduction from the recording.

In addition I will test play all records in their entirety and describe any deficiencies as accurately and honestly as possible; grading is highly subjective, as we all know some records can be described as 'EX' on a visual inspection, but not live up to that when played. Personally I think there's nothing more disappointing than buying from a seller who has optimistically graded, I will therefore only grade EX (as per RRPG guidelines) if it is really deserved.

Shipping will be in a dedicated record mailer (recycled) with 2 inner reinforcers.

Please do not bid from abroad as I will only ship within the UK.

Thanks for looking.


I bought this on eBay recently as I couldn't find an original which I have since tracked down! It was advertised as new and unplayed and since then I have only had it on the turntable once. Looking at Discogs I think this is a a reissue from 2010

In addition this came with a plain white paper inner but I have added a spare original lyric inner. The record is in a Nagaoka No102 antistatic sleeve and the cover protected by a plastic sleeve.

Visually the sleeve is near perfect, just a couple of small creases and one corner very slightly dinked

The original card lyric inner is in good shape, see photos.

Labels clean and free of spindle lines, on side 2 the label hasn't been stuck down in the centre very well, see photo.

Playing surfaces look EX as to be expected. There are faint hairlines visible when examined under bright light

Audio; Play tested on a very sensitive system. Please note there is a fair bit of surface noise on this record, plus a few clicks and pops. Although this record is nearly new I suspect its just not a great pressing. Given this fact I will start the auction at 99p.

Overall this would make a good starter copy of what is undoubtably a Tom Waits classic and hard to find; The title refers to Waits' concept of "bone music" in which music is stripped down and reduced to its minimum.
