Description

 Hello fellow record collectors,

I'm selling off most of my record collection and I'll be listing all my metal, stoner and doom stuff first so check out my listings if that's your sound. Here is an awesome copy of Monster Magnet's Superjudge LP on red vinyl! The vinyl looks almost perfectly free of marks and plays great. I'll give it an EX+ rating, but it could be as good as M-. I just don't want to over rate my records. The cover is pretty decent but has some wearing around one corner - I'll say EX-.
Here is the All Music Guide review:

Review by Ned Raggett

Having already shown that the world of drug-damaged early heavy metal-meets-space rock was well within their capability, Wyndorf and company took things to an even crazier level with Monster Magnet's major-label debut, Superjudge. Anyone taking anything on this album seriously, as some sort of satanic plot or anything like that, needs to just give up and go home — the song titles alone are crazily ridiculous enough: "Cyclops Revolution," "Elephant Bell," "Dinosaur Vacume," and the baldly but perfectly named "Stadium." A couple of nods to musical roots surface — the Willie Dixon-written classic "Evil (Is Going On)" kicks reasonable butt, but it's the storm through early Hawkwind standout "Brainstorm" that's the real signpost. There's more than a little of that British band throughout, only arguably even more strung out and insane, a celebration of a stoner culture that had persisted for years and looks set to always be around. Only the Dixon cover and "Black Balloon" stay at three minutes in length; everything else takes a little or a lot more time to satisfyingly sprawl, like the steady stomp of the title track or the monstrous "Cage Around the Sun." Wyndorf's ear for composition, production, and playing is evident throughout — everything is scaled for the biggest arena in the universe, while his voice positively compares with Ozzy Osbourne's early wailing, yet with a scraggly, rougher edge. Occasional acoustic guitar and sitar parts (with appropriate flanging) help in adding variety and more psychedelia to the proceedings, "Black Balloon" in particular ending Superjudge on a subtle, mysterious note. The spiraling riff explosions and solos of "Twin Earth" and "Dinosaur Vacume" are matched with strong rhythms (due credit to the team of Calandra and Kleiman, who never sound lazy), while any band with lyrics like "I cut off my own head/I don't need it where I'm going to go!" clearly knows how to get in touch with the unapologetic rawk fan out there.



I will package this in a sturdy cardboard record mailer. I will ship Regular Parcel Post through Canada Post. Shipping will cost $12.00 to Manitoba and east and $10.00 to Saskatchewan and west and all of the US. This will include $200 of insurance. International buyers should ask me the shipping cost on an individual basis and I will find out the cost. You should probably get insurance too. Let me know how you want it mailed and if you want insurance and I will find out the cost.

Feel free to email me with any questions.
Good luck scoring this sweet slice of vinyl!
Cheers,
Ryan
