Description
Up for auction is this scarce punk LP from my collection...long out-of-print/OOP. I grade seriously according to Goldmine's scale. If a condition falls inbetween two grades I do not make up a grade, i.e. VG+++ or NM-...I grade to the lower of the two grades. I do not own a record-washing machine, so sound may potentially be even better after a wash. Due to the few bad apples who engage in item swapping, all sales are final.
- Big Boys & The Dicks, Live At Raul's Club, Austin, Texas September 19 & 20, 1980. Rat Race Records RRR-80351 label, 1980. The a-side features the Big Boys, b-side is The Dicks. Blank stock inner sleeve is a solid VG+ with no seam splits. Cover/jacket condition is VERY solid VG+ with no seam splits or ring wear. Labels are M (mint) with no evidence of handling/spindle scuffs. Vinyl grades visual=NM, play-grade=NM. Near-silent run in grooves and deadwax inbetween tracks. The first song of the Big Boys has a few faint pops for about 5 seconds...may just be dust in the grooves or static. Bold fidelity, the live recording was done very well. It rocks!
I'm very serious about grading my items, as you collectors/investors deserve...when I say mint, I mean it. Bid with confidence. Professional packaging is guaranteed, with a new/fresh LP box and heavy-mil protective jacket sleeve. If I've overlooked anything, please let me know. Email with any questions...for best service, please don't wait until the last moment to ask a question, as I cannot guarantee I'll be monitoring email at that specific time/day.
If you're wondering why I keep the identity of my bidders private, it's simply in order to offer my customers some semblance of purchasing privacy in the worldwide venue that eBay has become. Not to mention, it prevents you from receiving the fraudulent 2nd-chance-offer scams.
High bidder pays shipping. Thanks for viewing this auction...all the best to you in your bidding.
Why Buy New?

On Jul-05-06 at 14:34:07 PDT, seller added the following information: A few additions: If you understand LP audio, understand Goldmine's explanations for each of their grades, and read my description fully, then all will be well. Play-graded means played the entire way through...not random needle dropping...and I use a higher-end, vintage, component system, with high-end contemporary Aura floor speakers.price rating
