Description
OK, I have a lot of soundtracks, but this is the Number One WEIRDO - apparently a "documentary" based on IF FOOTMEN TIRE YOU, WHAT WILL HORSMEN DO sermon of anti-Communist Christian ravings by Estus Pirkle, an evangelist here in Nashville circa late 1960s. Hope the pics show up, small but text says "SEE A boy's ears punctured just for listening to the Bible...SEE A Christian hanging on a porch in agonizing pain...SEE Savage cruelty at its worst."
(And you thought the War On Christmas was bad)
Also, added notoriety because Pirkle's preaching was sampled by Negativland for the song "Christianity Is Stupid". See Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_Is_Stupid

I try to apply the GOLDEN RULE when grading*, but please e-mail or call if you have any questions.
M: Generally reserved for sealed records
M-: May have no marks, or a couple very light marks, which would not be noticed except for extremely close inspection, and which will not affect play.
EX: May have a few very light marks which are nearly invisible and most likely do not sound.
VG+: Will have some visible light marks but no feelable scratches. May play with a minimum of noise during quiet passages. May well be visibly scuffed up but playing should be enjoyable.
Note: items posted in the past may have slightly different grading abbreviations; however the old "NM" is the same as "M" defined above, "NM-" equals "M-", etc. I changed this so it would match up with the eBay naming conventions in the Item Specifics fields.
* This means that I try to consider what my reaction would be as a buyer, upon winning this auction and pulling the record out its sleeve the first time. Please note that grades are visual. It seems to me that play-grading is even more subjective and entails other variables, such as the sensitivity of one's equipment. I have not listened to many of these records but will try to upon request. There is not a huge amount of difference between M-/EX. As anyone who has handled a lot of used records knows, some play better than they look and VICE VERSA. If you have problem with something you receive from me (to err is human), please contact me through eBay, and we will most likely be able to work it out.
Shipping charges are the Buyer's responsibility.
ITALY - I am sorry, but no more records will be shipped. Bidding from Italy has been excluded.
