Comments: Up for auction here is a beautiful sealed copy of the Nuclear Crayons' Bad Pieces LP on Outside Records. This was released in 1984 and it was a pressing of only 500 copies. The last few I've seen on ebay have gone for $50-60 each, and they were used copies--this is brand new and unplayed. Please note that the flyer and lyric sheet included in this auction are photocopies--the records came sealed from the pressing plant and the band members had to unseal them to add the lyric sheets. This one stayed sealed, so never got a lyric sheet.

Musically this is great blasting guitar noise, a little more studied than their first EP, but still raging. Bernie Wandel plays bass on this and you can definitely tell why Henry Rollins tapped him for the Rollins band! Anyway, this is great, so bid on it!

THIS IS THE LAST COPY OF THIS I HAVE.

TRADING

Do any of you crazy collectors have the Limp Richerds' self-titled cassette for sale or trade? I'll pay through the nose (or offer generous credit/trades) for a copy! Or any other Limps stuff, for that matter...get in touch if you do!

GRADING

Grading is sleeve first, then the record(s), then the insert (if any). A lot of ebay sellers advertise their used records as "unplayed," which is almost always BS. I will only describe records as unplayed if I got them straight from band members or as dead stock from record stores/distros/labels/etc.

Grades are:

• Still Sealed - Record is still in shrink or loose wrap. I can only grade a sealed record's cover, not the disc itself.
• NM - Near Mint. The record appears brand new with little or no signs of wear, perhaps a few small scuffs from the paper sleeve, but nothing more serious than that. The record should have a beautiful luster. Sleeves show no appreciable wear. The corners may be bumped, but aren't smashed.
• EX - Excellent. The record looks beautiful, but shows signs of being played and handled carefully. There may be a small scuffs on the record, and some spindle trails on the labels, but the record will still have a nice shine to it. Sleeves show minor wear, but nothing noticable.
• VG - Very Good. The record has been used, but not abused. There will be some scuffing, and maybe a couple light scratches. The grooves are starting to lose their luster. Sleeves will show some wear and dirtiness and may have a small split.
• G - Good. The record has been used and abused. It's got scratches and scuffs galore, but will play through. Sleeves will show heavy wear and may have large splits. I do not accept returns or offer refunds on records graded G.
• P - Poor. The record has been thrashed. It will be covered in scratches and scuffs, and may not even play through. Sleeves will be pretty much destroyed: smashed corners, massive splits, writing, and heavy ringwear are to be expected. I do not accept returns or offer refunds on records graded P.
