You are bidding on a original US pressing copy of the Skunks - 1st s/t LP released by Rude Records in 1980.  This is RUDE ONE. This record came out of the collection of a central Texas music fan, known to many musicians/fellow music lovers, who tragically lost his life late last year. He frequently attended concerts and shows here in central Texas and elsewhere. The record is  in VG condition. The record labels are in VG+ condition. The record jacket is in VG condition with some shelfwear, ringwear,  and edgewear. Included with the auction of this album are a few other things related to the Skunks which we found inside the jacket. There are 2 flyers from two different Skunks shows at the Cheatham St. Club in San Marcos as well as a calendar flyer for the Mother Earth Club in Austin for  November 1980, where the Skunks played on the 23rd of that month. Also, there is a three page Skunks newsletter (the pink booklet - see picture) dating from September of 1982 as well as a 20 page promotional booklet (the white booklet with the photo from Public News on the front - see picture) with xeroxed articles and reviews on the group. The flyers and newsletter are in VG+ condition and the promo booklet is in VG condition.

We visually grade all our records for sale and grade both the record and the jacket. We go by general standards for grading, which are:

Mint (M) - an unplayed, new copy of a record. no visual defects!

Near Mint (NM) - a nearly perfect record that has usually only been played 1-3 times, in "like new" condition.

Very Good + (VG+) - record still in excellent condition but has minor signs of wear such as surface scuffs/light scratches that don't affect the play. jacket has minor signs of wear such as light ringwear, edgewear, shelfwear, and/or light creasing.

Very Good (VG) - record has more wear than VG+ and may have some slight surface noise, light pops, some scuffs or scratches.  generally still a great playing copy.  jacket may have more wear, writing, sticker residue, punch out/cut out holes or corners.

Very Good - (VG-) - record has noticeable groove wear, surface noise, scratches, and/or scuffs but still a decent playing copy. jacket has heavier wear and may have a small split seam.

Good + and Good (G+ and G) - record still plays without skipping but has considerable amounts of groove wear, surface noise, scuffs, and/or scratches.  jacket has alot of wear and some defects such as split seams, heavy creasing, writing, marks, sticker residue, etc...
