1990, CZE, Monitor RE 0013

Here it is, the infamous Svaty Vincent LP from the former Czechoslovakia! This is not an easy record to describe, and definitely one that's hated by metal purists and most likely "too metal" for fans of ridiculous real people expression. Vocalist Vincent Venera (erstwhile mental instution inmate, self-identifying as god, Jesus and Buddha in one being) screams and rasps Satanic lyrics in Czech over what can only be described as a low-fi Abruptum being assaulted by Ildjarn, but it all ends up coming off as horrifying and noisy. Sounds like being beaten by an angry Czech man while Abruptum and Ildjarn play in the background. I actually haven't even decided if this is the best thing ever recorded or the worst, but it really is on the next level as far as "strange metal" is concerned, and the only reason I am selling this is because after many years of hunting for this record I found two almost simultaneously, and now find myself moving to eastern Europe in a few months and needing to both make some money and shed some LPs.

The cover has a little wear which you can see in the photo - just a little wear and rub on the seams and some small corner dings, but no splits and clean. LP is perfectly clean, without hairlines or scratches, though these pressings are always a little noisy. Not like you'll notice, since this record sounds much like roadkill covered in garlic smells. And I mean that in the best way possible.

Here's a link that features a small sound sample of this fetid belch of Czech metalsploitation.

Starting this a little higher than other auctions; for the minimum I'd like to get for this to reflect how long it took me to find a copy (it's a pretty obscure record) as well as the fact that there are plenty of maniacs at Utrecht that would most likely enjoy this thing. Happy bidding!

Please check out my other auctions; more will be up soon.

Grading (cover/record): NM / EX / VG+ / VG / VG- / G / F / P

NM - Like new. I don't use "mint." Record should look like you bought it new yesterday and be free of flaws and defects.
EX - A record that is otherwise NM but may have some hairlines or other small inconsequential blemishes; pristine sleeve with a ding, etc.
VG+ / VG / VG- - Should really mean "very good" and this range of grades has been given a bad reputation by unscrupulous sellers. Various degrees of scuffs, scratches and other minor problems and signs of wear and noise, but even a VG- record shouldn't skip or be warped or anything like that. Basically decent used records.
G - This is where bigger issues like deep scratches, mild warps and small sticks can occur.
F - Bigger problems here; warps, skips, sticks, totally split seams, etc.
P - Completely hammered, unusable garbage. I hope I never have anything in this shape.

Shipping:

International bidders, please note that due to chargeback and mail problems, any records over $100 I must insist on shipping via registered international priority mail; this works out to $25-30, but it is for both my and your protection. Please consider this when bidding, but the high value of the Euro should make this a negligible difference on a valuable LP. US bidders, over $100 LPs get shipped domestic priority for the same reasons. Bidders in Portland, Oregon or European bidders who will be attending the Utrecht record fair in November 2009 can make arrangements to pick their records up in person.

Please disregard eBay's flat $4 shipping rate; it is impossible to mail a record anywhere but inside the USA via media mail only for $4. Please see the rough shipping costs below:

USA: Media Mail $4 for first 4-5 LPs / Priority Mail $8, $2 each subsequent LP; multiple LPs or heavy gatefolds may count as two LPs
Canada/Mexico: $8 first record, $2 each subsequent; multiple LPs or heavy gatefolds may count as two LPs
International: $12-15 for a single LP; $25-30 for priority mail for LPs over $100. Due to the high cost of sending records internationally, I weigh every international package and quote an accurate cost based on the weight and the US Portal Service postage calculator.

All records are shipped in sturdy mailers with cardboard stiffener pads (laid against the grain of the mailer's cardboard). While I make every effort through solid packing to make sure your LPs arrive in the condition they leave my house in, I cannot be held responsible for any extreme actions on the part of the post office.

* Please read the above and do not bid if you do not agree. Please contact me if you have zero feedback and do not bid if you have negative feedback; I will cancel your bids. Payment is due within five days, as I will be leaving for Europe of the 5th of November. *** PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME MONEY UNTIL YOU RECEIVE AN INVOICE! *** Thanks and happy bidding! *
