Description

Jim Shepard and Vertical Slit, "Slit and Pre-Slit for Your Convenience", (no label) from 1977.
If you are reading this auction, you probably already know what this is,  so I will not go into a long explanation, there is a lot of information if you  do a google search, but this is a very rare, original, private pressing by legendary  Ohio artist Jim Shepard called Slit and Pre-Slit for Your Convenience.  Only 100 copies were made back in the day and they rarely turn up for sale. This was his first vinyl release.
The trail off area reads: "MUSICOL 102553" on side 1, and "MUSICOL 102554" on side 2, with the initials JMH, and both sides also say "STEP 1"
Very home made feel, lo-fi, DIY vibe all the way through,  touching on punk, industrial, prog, psych, etc...very strange and weird. 
Most original copies had a photocopied drawing taped to the cover. This one does not have it and it does not look like it ever did, there is no tape residue and no tears on the cover. Instead, Jim wrote the title in pen, and the credits on the back. Jim also hand numbered all the labels of original pressings, this is #19, a nice, low number! Supposedly, he gave many copies away...Lester Bangs, David Bowie, whoever came through town that he could meet..so most copies have disappeared forever. I have seen originals for sale on eBay only twice in the past few years, so don't miss your chance to get this very rare gem!
The original cover is somewhat frayed around the edges, and is discolored after all these years, and I'd say is a VG+ The disc is a nice VG+ to VG++, the vinyl has all its gloss and shine, shows a few light marks and scuffs but plays great all the way through with only light surface noise and a few clicks.
Let me know if you have any questions.
This is a reserve price auction.
Postage in the USA: Media rate is $3.10, or I can ship Priority if you want. Outside the USA, please wait for an invoice...it usually runs $22.50 for one LP International First Class, and I strongly recommend adding tracking at an  additional $13.50 to this one.
Thank you, and good luck bidding!

New information: I am told that not all original copies were hand numbered, and a check on line of others that have sold in the past shows that to be true. I am seeking more information about it, but for now, there it is...
