The Plastic Cloud
Self-Titled
Allied Records No. 10

This is an original pressing of this mega-rarity LP.

The Plastic Cloud only recorded one LP and one 45 rpm single, and that one LP is regarded worldwide as one of the best monster psych albums ever made.

This outstanding release is the ultimate garage psych recording that also features a true punk/psych edged flavor blended in for good measure - a total killer monster gem.

Only 500 copies were ever pressed and only the first 100 copies had an original insert. This copy includes that insert in very good condition.

Both covers are exceptional in detail and show only light shelf-wear and a small amount of tape residue at top-left edge of back cover. All seams and spines are fully intact and show only light wear. Jacket opening on back cover shows small amount of creasing at midpoint.

Vinyl condition:

Side One - Good/VG

Side Two - Good/VG

Vinyl has surface marks and scratches - plays with light to moderate surface noise and crackle - tiny diagonal scratch near midpoint of 'You Don't Care' that caused the stylus on our main turntable to stick (Grado cartridge/1.5 grams/Micro Seiki Solid 5), however played straight through on our second turntable (Shure cartridge/1.5 grams/Dual 701).

Side One

Epistle To Paradise
Shadows Of Your Mind
Art's A Happy Man
You Don't Care

Side Two

Bridge Under The Sky
Face Behind The Sun
Dainty General Rides
Civilization Machine

We grade all our records visually under a 100-watt light.

We try to do the best job we can based on our years of experience working in used record stores.

Please see our vinyl grading system below.

If visual inspection of the vinyl gives us reason to suspect there may be problems with sound quality, the recording is play-tested and any play-back flaws are included in the item description.
