Description

Up for sale is my copy of Silver Jews' "American Water." This is a first pressing from 1998 on Drag City Records. It's tough to find indie releases from the 90s on vinyl. It includes the lyrics sheet and the promotional poster. The vinyl is nearly flawless; on close inspection under a bright light I was able to see a very light, small scratch that is very superficial and I would not expect it to influence playback at all. The sleeve is also in excellent condition with no visible damage and still in original shrink.
"American Water was the pinnacle of a certain strain of indie rock: smart but unpolished, grounded but opaque, the down-home sound of Creedence Clearwater Revival and the country side of the Rolling Stones executed by college boys raised on punk. There are some flubbed turns, some shaky tempos, solos that sputter midstream like wayward fireworks. There are portraits of men with duct-taped shoes and suspenders made of extension cords, of losers who look dumb for trying and sad because they still think they might win." - Pitchfork
**I will ship the item wrapped in bubble wrap in a cardboard LP mailer. Unless you specifically contact me to request otherwise, I will ship with the disc outside of the main jacket to protect the seams from damage in transit. I do not currently have access to a turntable, so I must visually grade my records. If you have any questions or would like to see more photos, reach out. I am not a professional seller, just a longtime collector who has decided to sell them all off. Be sure to check out my other listings for more Jazz, Classic Rock, Blues, Indie and more in the coming days/weeks. Happy bidding!**
