One of the most unusual and confounding records in the heavy rock world, and from the most unlikely of bands, Harvey Milk's Courtesy and Good Will Toward Men's uniqueness is legendary. A monument to unfettered originality on all fronts, Courtesy and Good Will Toward Men is at times fragile, minimal, and achingly beautiful; other times it suffocates with tar-black, crushingly heavy dirges that bend time. The tension that permeates the arrangements is exhausting, and the heart-on-a-sleeve vocals of Creston Spiers are truly gut-wrenching. Simply-stated, Courtesy and Good Will Toward Men is unprecedented, uneasy listening that walks the finest of lines between difficulty and beauty.

SLEEVE: n/a
RECORD: UNPLAYED
VINYL COLOR: black
NOTES: Test pressing with Rainbo Records labels on the both sides. Only signifying feature is "CHKLP002" handwritten on the a-side (see photo). Comes in regular paper sleeve. No picture sleeve.
ORIGIN/PROVENANCE: After seeing photos and reports of what has been happening in Haiti after the earthquake basically destroyed their already impoverished country, I decided to do something about it. I spent ten minutes going through the records I've been saving for a rainy day deciding that this was the rainy day I've saved them for.  So everything you see for sale that comes from my personal collection is being sold to benefit Doctors Without Borders who are doing as much work as they can to help the people of Haiti get their most basic medical needs met.

Not that I fancy myself (or Chunklet for that matter) in any way political, but I feel strongly enough about this that I urge you to also look through to see if there's anything you really "need" and sell it for people that are on the verge of dying. Food for thought.

PAYMENT: Paypal only. Or so sez eBay.

SHIPPING: The record will be housed between two pieces of cardboard and then put inside a sturdy mailer which might possibly be recycled (in an effort to save trees). I ship records the way I like them shipped to me. Simple as that. If you live inside the US, shipping is only available by priority mail (due exclusively to less expensive service's unreliability) and tracking is provided free of charge. Outside of the US, airmail rates apply. IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE US, DO NOT PAY UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE! Hey Italy! Insurance is not automatically provided but is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

And yes, I'll be happy to combine shipping. It saves your money, my time and the environment!
