Description
CAPTAIN BEEFHEART (AND HIS MAGIC BAND) - 'LICK MY DECALS OFF, BABY' Rare!
UK original 1st pressing on UK STRAIGHT labels.
STS 1063. STEREO. (1970).
First issue matrix - STS-1063-A1 / STS-1063-B1. Heavy slab of vinyl!
Sleeve grades EXCELLENT (EX). Vinyl grades strong EXCELLENT (EX) or BETTER.
One of the very best creative albums ever made. On a par (perhaps better) than Trout Mask Replica and very influential to many other artists in years to follow. More than 'ahead of its time.'
UK sleeve is clean and solid condition with some moderate signs of age and handling wear. Spine text is all there but shows a tiy amount of 'tipping in'. There are a few small areas that have been carefully tipped in. Looks like it was done well and professionally. This of course will keep the price down. A Mint copy (if you can find one) will cost you £150+.
The glossy vinyl grades EXCELLENT (EX) or higher. There are no skips or jumps. Truly incredible clear sound. A few small marks and some background noise in places but this is nominal. It fills the room and sounds full and impactful.
Original inner sleeve. No issues.
Bidders will remain anonymous to others. Please take a look at some of my other rare LP listings.
MATRIX (Stamped not etched).
Side 1: STS-1063-A1
