I’m selling an extremely rare copy of Phish’s “Lawn Boy”! One of only 500 sold to the public (500 more used for promotional purposes)! This copy is not a promotional copy. There are no cut-out or promotional markings! My copy also includes the lyric sheet on custom inner sleeve pictured. It was released in 1990. Label #: AGO 1992-1. Track listing: 1)The Squirming coil 2) Reba 3) My Sweet One 4) Split Open and Melt 5)The Oh Kee Pa Ceremony 6) Bathtub Gin 7) Run Like an Antelope 8)Lawn Boy 9) Bouncing Around the Room Feel free to email me if you would like additional photos. GRADE: The record is between a VG+ and a VG. There are only a few light visible scratches (not sleeve burn, scratches) but upon listening I didn’t encounter any skips. There’s a tiny bit of fuzz during very quiet passages and between songs but it does not interrupt the listener’s enjoyment. This fuzz is what makes me grade it slightly less than a VG+, but it’s much too nice to grade it as an all around VG. The custom inner sleeve is VG+ condition. It’s nearly perfect but has been handled. The cover is also in VG+ condition. It shows a tiny amount of wear on the opening from normal handling. But there’s no sticker residue. The record will be mailed wrapped with bubble wrap in a record mailer with the record in a valuble record protector sleeve outside of the jacket to prevent ringwear. I will mail the record 1 to 2 business days after recieving payment. If you would like faster shipping than media mail, message me after you've won and I'll send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping price. Good luck bidding! GENERAL INFO Paypal only please. Payment due within 7 days of auction’s close. Shipping to continental U.S. only. Unfortunately, this excludes Canada, Hawaii and Alaska. GRADING I use Goldmine’s standards. Near Mint (NM or M-) Near Mint (NM or M-) A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying perhaps correctly that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or other noticeable similar defects. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves and the like. Basically, an LP in near mint condition looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap. Very Good Plus (VG+) Generally worth 50 percent of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable. Very Good (VG) Generally worth 25 percent of Near Mint value. Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them. Good (G), Good Plus (G+) Generally worth 10-15 percent of the Near Mint value. Good does not mean Bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear (on a styrene record, the groove will be starting to turn white). A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object.
