Description

FREE SHIPPING offer valid for buyers in continental U.S. only.  Bidders in other regions will receive a discount equal to domestic U.S. media mail rate.

Up for auction is a vinyl copy of Henry Cow/Slapp Happy's 1975 album, "In Praise of Learning," on Red Records.  Red Records Cat.# RED 003.  A really nice copy of this classic album!

Cover is in EX condition.  Some ringwear, creasing, & shelfwear.  Corners are slightly dinged.  No seam splitting or staining.
Vinyl is EX/borderline NM condition.  A couple of very shallow and extremely minor surface markings keep it just below NM condition.  No skipping on either of my turntables.  Sounds amazing!  Still quite glossy.

The All-Music Guide has this to say:
A team-up with Slapp Happy may seem an obvious meeting of minds in 2000, but not at the time (1975) when all they really shared was a Marxist outlook and a record label (Virgin). The two bands had already recorded Desperate Straights, which focused more on songs and Dagmar Krause's vocals. Here, Krause gets one good song, the terrific Kurt Weill-esque "War" (subsequently covered by the Fall many years later), which leads off the album. "Living in the Heart of the Beast" takes up the rest of side one, and in long form Kraus seems lost. There's some free noise on side two, and it's a bit of a waste seeing Mongezi Feza among others play on the album. The best thing to take away from this meeting is that it went on to produce Art Bears, News From Babel, and several other groups made up from this spectacular personnel.

I will gladly ship internationally and/or combine shipping for multiple items.  Just ask for a quote before the auction ends.
No returns, no refunds. Payment must be received within 5 days of winning bid.
