Description

ABOUT THE ALBUM
"Many Jandek collectors believe Living in a Moon So Blue to be the apex of his extensive catalog, which clocked in at 30 albums at the turn of the millennium. While this certainly rates highly in the Texas artist's bizarre universe, it must be said that there is little else on which to measure it. While his albums may have great variation in style, they are all inimitably Jandek. His music can often sound like the paranoid rantings of a lunatic, and to many could be considered an unlistenable indulgence of undeveloped and messy ideas; to others, this could be the prophecy of a genius unheralded, whose work sat tentatively on the extreme fringes of avant-garde music throughout the '80s. Regardless of disparate opinion, Living in a Moon So Blue displays an emotional power not often heard on record and, if Jandek's seemingly improvised stream-of-consciousness music does not send shivers down the spine, it will certainly provoke confusion or joy in those interested in outsider art. From the Shaggs and Roky Erickson through to Captain Beefheart, it would be hard to find a stranger recording than any given Jandek album. Notably, our mysterious recluse is particularly furious on this record, giving his usual mournful whisper up, favoring an agitated punk shout over his frantic detuned strumming." -Allmusic.com

ABOUT THE LP ITSELF
VERY RARE & HARD-TO-FIND FIRST-AND-ONLY VINYL PRESSING.
Record Conition: NM (Near Mint) - Highly doubt that this record has been played much, if ever.
Sleeve Condition: EX (Excellent) - Tiny imperfection top right corner of cover, but no exposed tearing.  Cover still feels and looks brand new otherwise.
Part of a very well-kept collection that has been untouched for 20+ years.
Grading scale:
M (mint, new sealed records only get this grade)
NM (flawless but opened record)
EX (a high grade from us, record may show signs of use, but is in overall great shape and should play free from defect)
VG+ (a high grade from us, record may show signs of use, but is in overall great shape and should play free from defect)
VG (record may have some minor surface marks, but nothing that should detract from the listenability)
VG- (may have a number of surface marks and may play with some noise, but still listenable and a decent play copy)
G (we rarely list anything with this grade unless it is highly rare and valued, may have many surface marks, but still playable)
