TOM WAITS, SWORDFISHTROMBONES, UK ISLAND VINYL LP, 1983, EXCELLENT CONDITION
Tom Waits – SwordfishtrombonesThomas Alan “Tom” Waits (born December 7, 1949) is an American singer-songwriter, composer and actor. He has a distinctive voice, described by critic Daniel Durchholz as sounding “like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car.” With this trademark growl, his incorporation of pre-rock music styles such as blues, jazz, and vaudeville, and experimental tendencies verging on industrial music he has built up a distinctive musical persona.

Side Two: In The Neighborhood; Just Another Sucker On The Vine; Frank’s Wild Years; Swordfishtrombone; Down, Down, Down; Soldier’s Things; Gin Soaked Boy; Trouble’s Braids; Rainbirds.

Condition: (as Record Collector’s grading system)
Vinyl side 1: excellent (a few very light superficial marks can be seen under strong light that do not affect the audio in any way, plays great with no jumps, sticks or clicks and minimal crackle).
Vinyl side 2: excellent (a few very light superficial marks can be seen under strong light that do not affect the audio in any way, plays great with no jumps, sticks or clicks and minimal crackle).
Cover (glossy): excellent (light creasing bottom right, a few small edge creases, indent/crease at back top right).
I have tried to give my honest opinion as to the condition. I will give a complete refund to the buyer if they are not happy with the record.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM:
MINT: I very rarely use the mint grade. Only records that are still sealed or records that even under the strongest of lights are completely unmarked. Also covers that are unmarked/uncreased in any way and still look brand new.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is no lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler. Payment strictly by PayPal only. Postal discounts available for multiple purchases - Please email for details. 526 (GS 6.6.6 (526))
