$

227

artist: MACARTHUR (MacArthur / Mac Arthur)
title: MacArthur II
label / cat #: BAY MUSIC (ORIGINAL PRESSING, private press LP)

VINYL: NM (Vinyl is shiny & beautiful. Record looks & plays like it was played only once or twice if at all ever before. Music plays strong & loud throughout both sides with a just a hint of normal light crackle here & there mainly only evident in the quietest of sections; truly beautiful vinyl. There are really no notable signs of visible wear at all to mention, possibly one or two extremely light sleeve scuffs if any marks at all. Labels are crisp & clean with no real signs of visible wear at all to mention. Really Nice!)

COVER: VG++ (The cover looks wonderful overall with just a little bit of light edge & shelf wear, but nothing visually distracting or too noteworthy. Looks fantastic!)

INSERT/LYRIC SHEET: EX (Yes, it actually does still have the original inner lyric/note insert sheet! It's a two-sided printed sheet full of lyrics & information about the record. Looks fantastic!)

This auction is for the EXTREMELY RARE and in-demand MAC ARTHUR - "MAC ARTHUR II" LP, on the Michigan private label BAY MUSIC, custom pressed in 1982. Recorded material from 1977 - 1982. This is a VERY RARE original US private press progressive rock album, very few copies were made. Definitely one of the rarest US prog psych LPs, deserving the frenzied buzz & praise among the deepest of the underground collectors. There's some really trippy songs with a lot of stoned-out Robert Fripp style excursions & detours, quite dark & spacey in many sections. There's also a rather massive amount of effects and tape delay on the vocals & all around in general making this record sound like no other, definitely has it's own really amazing homebrew yet still professional sound. Includes the original insert with lyrics and liner notes. Past copies in VG/VG- condition (missing the original insert) have sold for several hundred dollars. Out of the 3 copies I have had the incredible luck to own in my lifetime this one definitely is the absolute cleanest & clearest playing one. I have set the opening bid on this truly wonderful copy very low with no reserve. Thank you for viewing my auction. I will happily ship worldwide. PayPal only Please.
