All except the Argument in shrink wrap with a slit down the side to get the album out. Only ever played once to establish that no defects.
Great opportunity to get all the Grant Hart studio albums plus one of the two Nova Mob discs featuring Grant Hart, Tom Merkel and Michael Gregg. I haven't posted pictures of the discs but don't worry they are like new. Grant Hart is one of the most talented but underated artists to come out of the US Hardcore and crossover into Alt Rock scene. Best known for his partnership with Bob Mould in the hugely influential band Hüsker Dü.
Post only to United Kingdom.
Please note I am away between 8th and 18th September. Cannot post during this period.
Some info on these albums:
Intolerance is the first solo album from Grant Hart, formerly of the band Hüsker Dü.It was released on December 12, 1989.The album was remastered and reissued by MVD Audio in 2010 on 180 gram vinyl with new album cover art.
The Last Days of Pompeii is the debut studio album by the American alternative rock band Nova Mob, a band formed by former Hüsker Dü drummer Grant Hart. It was released on February 22, 1991 by Rough Trade. The album was remixed and reissued by Hart's Condor label in 2011 with bonus tracks and new album cover art. It is a concept album about rocket scientist Wernher von Braun escaping the end of World War II by time-travelling back to Pompeii and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.
In 1990, Grant Hart told British magazine Select, "It starts out narrated by Pliny the Younger from Pompeii, OK? ... He pretty much gives the general synopsis. The story starts with the fall of Nazi Germany, and Wernher Von Braun doesn't wanna be captured. So he conjures up Wotan, the Nordic God of War, and asks him, like, How the hell do I get out of this mess?" Escaping back in time in a V2 rocket, von Braun meets Pliny the Elder who takes him to Pompeii. He ends up with King Pompedible (from the illustrated book, The Knave of Hearts) trying to control his mind, just as Hitler had tried before. "He slowly comes to the realisation that he's going to be manipulated, no matter what he does. He leaves again, but it's not altogether clear how. It's more or less a transcendental thing involving the eruption (of Vesuvius) - the eruption wakes him up from a sodium pentathol-induced dream."
Good News for Modern Man is the second solo studio album from Grant Hart. It was released in 1999, ten years after Hart's previous solo studio album, Intolerance. The album was remastered and reissued by Hart’s Condor label in 2014 with new album cover art.
Hot Wax, Hart's third solo album was recorded in both Montreal, Quebec and Minneapolis, Minnesota. The first sessions for the album were in 2005 and Hart traveled to Montreal a dozen times over three years to record with members of the bands Godspeed You! Black Emperor and A Silver Mt. Zion. However, with only half of the album finished, the traveling became an inconvenience. Hart also realised that “those guys didn’t necessarily want to chase the same exact pinpoint I was chasing.” The album was eventually finished in Minneapolis with Albatross Studio founder Mike Wisti.
The Argument is the fourth and final solo studio album from Grant Hart. The album was released in 2013, four years before Hart's death. It is a concept album based on John Milton's Paradise Lost, and inspired by Hart's friendship with renowned beat author William S. Burroughs.The album features guitar, keyboards, mallet instruments, and found sounds.It was released to universal critical acclaim.
