The Mountain Goats – Come, Come To The Sunset Tree

$

96

Well here we go! I have to say that this one hurts to let go of!

I am currently buying silver and preparing for the zombie apocalypse which you all know is coming soon. (O.K. really I am just raising some funds for other interests) ;)

I am a huge fan of The Mountain Goats and all things John Darnielle & company.

I have been to many shows and have camped out at both Zoop events at Farm Sanctuary NY.

I am telling you this so that you know that I am not an album trader, collector, or profiteer, but a true fan.

I cannot give you a professional opinion on the condition or grade of this album, but I can provide

a layman's description and some good photos for your review.

I believe the album itself to be in near perfect condition.

This album was hand made by John Darnielle (479/1000) and as such, has some inherent flaws (the good kind) like bubbles in the paint he used to decorate the cover.

The record itself looks fantastic, there are no scratches visible to the eye, no finger prints and only a tiny fleck of dust here and there on the vinyl. Shiny shiny minty clean!

The album cover is in excellent condition. It is as clean and fresh as the day I bought it.

There is some slight wear to the corners which I have photographed for you to see.

As per the advice of a good friend, the LP will be shipped in it's original dust jacket and plastic protector

layered outside the album cover in a cardboard LP mailer.

I will ship with USPS priority and it will be insured for the maximum value allowed by the post office.

Most of you who look at this auction will know what this album is, but for those who do not, below are some stock

descriptions of it from other web sites.

Thank you, and feel free to ask questions before bidding.

If you like, we can talk on the phone as well.

Email me your number and a good time to call. :)
