While this fantastic album has recently been re-released on vinyl and on CD,this is the original Fire Records release, which I purchased upon its initial release in 1988.
To bake a mind-altering cake nowadays, you've got to smash a few sugarcubes. Unlike bands who get all cutesy with the pop trappings of '60s acid-rock, Spacemen 3 are content to let the music be its own hallucinogen. At the outset, their records lay down a droning thick-pile carpet of overdriven guitar and mongoloid drumming; later on, they began exploring the equally unsettling powers of more tranquil waters. Not as selfconsciously arty as Sonic Youth or as decisively melodic as the Jesus and Mary Chain, Spacemen 3 follow both stylistic poles of the Velvet Underground with more wholehearted enthusiasm than most of the group's self-appointed apostles.
I would describe the condition of the vinyl as VG++++++++++, with a few stray scratches. The album cover also is VG++++++++++.
