MU: LEMURIAN MUSIC

Rare 70's UK original press on United Artists housed in a beautiful cover, although the original "long hair" cover definitely had its charm. The album today is classic and is also featured in Acid Archives:

"The band and LP that propelled Merrell Fankhauser to international stardom, at least on the rare psych LP collector circuit. Rated highly for decades, and less hippie:ish than his later Mu work. This mix of bluesy urban LA exhaust fume vibes and tribal desert mystique is as archetypal an early 1970s SoCal trip as you can find. Strong songwriting, pro-sounding recording all around, given a clearcut identity from the excellent slide guitar, harmony vocals, and occasional sax. Too bad not more bands followed this musical path. "Eternal Thirst" with spooky percussion and chanting goes deep into the ancient regions of your cranium. From a mainstream/classic rock perspective, this is Merrell's most significant work, although even better things were to follow for us hallucinogenic purveyors."

The Cover is perfect and the vinyl looks close to mint with a minimun of wear

GRADING

There is nothing more irritating than buying an LP which is overgraded (about half of the LPs I have bought via Ebay has been overgraded.) so I try to grade as accurate as possible both visual and (mostly) audible and describe any flaws on the record. I grade under a 100W light bulb or sunlight. For playgrading I use my Gyro Deck turntable fitted with a Benz Micro MC pick up. If there is any dissatisfaction with any LP there is off course a moneyback warranty.

M-: Perfect copy, the copy that looks like it was bought yesterday and only have been played a few times.

EX: This has been played but still a very satisfying copy that would please most collectors. No scratches or coverwear, LP plays without any problem, as good as perfect in fact many dealers M- is what I would call EX       

VG++: This copy has been played and cover has some wear but still a very good copy that should satisfy most people except the MINT puritans

VG+: This is a played copy, plays with some clicks and background noise. But still the music should be the central part. Cover has ring wear but still not a torn cover or anything.

VG: This is a more used copy with some scratches and clicks, no stops or skips though, cover has heavy wear.
