Description
Christopher Montgomery, Connecticut Elegy 197x, No label
NM cover · NM vinyl
Unplayed original of this top tier gritty erudite folk LP by depressed academics. Highly recommended. Here's a nice review in the Acid Archives: "Little-known but interesting loner/fringe urban folk trip full of quirky snapshots from the bleak early 1970s. Lyrics are offbeat with plenty of surprising Dylanesque twists but generally deal with garbage, city desolation, unhealthy relationships and religious apocalypse all radiating from the guy's bedroom. Stripped down demo sound with just steelstringed guitar and a quite passable voice. Comparable to Perry Leopold's "Cold in Philly" but not quite as heavy, yet clearly better than something like Geoffrey. Recurring sense of irony and overall artistic vision makes you sympathize with the guy's total obscurity. Sample lyric: "I saw eternity the other night/And I tell you, it scared me shitless". 50+ minutes of Connecticut agoraphobia."

SS (still sealed): a record that is perfect factory sealed.
NM (near mint): vinyl that is unplayed or has only been listened to a couple times and plays perfect. only the slightest jacket wear.
EX (excellent): a very well taken care of record that has only been played a few times. only the slightest crackle. jacket looks great.
VG+ (very good plus): a good, well taken care of record that may play with a little crackle, but nothing distracting. this is the condtion of your average listened-to record in a good home.
VG (very good): plays with no skips but may have noticeable surface noise especially in quieter passages. Cover may have seam/ring wear or light staining. not a bad copy, but not a great one either.
VG- (very good minus): this record has probably not been well cared for and probably plays with consistent noise. cover may have water damage, serious ring wear, or seam splitting.
G (good): this record is in bad condition. i will not list a record in this condition unless it is extremely rare.
F (fair): this record is trashed and probably would be hard to listen to. only ultra rare historical LPs would be worth dealing with here
