THE FUGS The Village Fugs BROADSIDE 304 w/ insert

$

40

Up for sale is a nice copy of The Fugs' "The Village Fugs Sing Ballads of Contemporary Protest, Point of Views, and General Dissatisfaction" produced in 1965 on the Broadside label, Cat # 304. The record vinyl is graded VG...there are a lot of minor surface scratches on both sides that produce some minor noise, but there is a scratch on side A that comes in from the edge and affects the beginning of "Slum Goddess" with a few heavy pops but no skips, and on that same song some minor groove wear. The cover is VG to VG+...has a 1" split lower right corner, and a few other creases and flaws. Included is the songsheet insert. This is an extremely difficult record to find, so good luck!

Side A

1. "Slum Goddess" (Ken Weaver) – 1:58
2. "Ah, Sunflower, Weary of Time" (William Blake, Ed Sanders) – 2:15
3. "Supergirl" (Tuli Kupferberg) – 2:18
4. "Swinburne Stomp" (Sanders, A.C. Swinburne) – 2:50
5. "I Couldn't Get High" (Weaver) – 2:06

Side B

1. "How Sweet I Roamed" (Blake, Sanders) – 2:11
2. "Sieze the Day" (Kupferberg) – 5:07
3. "My Baby Done Left Me" (Sanders) – 2:18
4. "Boobs a Lot" (Steve Weber) – 2:12

Thank you for looking at my record auction! I realize that currently I have minimal feedback, but prior to now, I have always used power sellers coyotecommerce and coyotesurplus as my online agent to sell my items. Any record I put up for auction will be graded using the guidelines set forth by Goldmine, and I will explain why I gave it that grade:

Mint: "ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY" - certainly never played. Since I have seen sealed records with mold and creases, chances are I will never use this grade.

Near Mint (NM or M-): "A NEARLY PERFECT RECORD" that shows NO OBVIOUS SIGNS of wear. The jacket or picture sleeve should have no more than the most minor of defects. I will rarely use this grade.

Very Good Plus (VG+): shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took care of it. Record surfaces may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. The label may have some ring wear. Jackets and picture sleeves will have slight ring wear, turned up corners, or a slight seam split. I will use this grade, and may enhance it with another + if it is warranted.

Very Good (VG): surface noise, scratch(es) that can be felt with a fingernail, groove wear in the vinyl and writing, tape or stickers on the label. (If the record and label are near perfect and there is a sticker on the label from a 45 carrying case, I will give it a VG+ grade and note the sticker). The picture sleeve or jacket might also have writing or a sticker on it, and possibly bent corners. I will also apply a VG- to records that are better than good, but not VG. I will always explain my grade.

Good (G, G+): basically playable without skipping. I will NEVER put a record of this grade on ebay unless it is mega rare or valuable like Elvis on Sun or something like that.

All shipping in US is $4, outside of US, please send me an e-mail. I prefer PayPal as my method of receiving payment, but I will also accept a cashier's check.
