GREAT TRUCKIN' SONGS of THE RENAISSANCE
'deluxe edition' with faux gold-embossed lettering and imitation burgundy leather finish
Disc and sleeve are in excellent USED condition.
Vinyl is NEAR MINT. There is one sorta-visible mark across the first two tracks of side 2. I tested the record today and the mark is virtually inaudible. IT DOES NOT AFFECT PLAY. Like I've said before, I'd rather the buyer know exactly what they're getting, that's why I've mentioned it in detail here.
Sleeve is in ridiculously good condition. No creases or sticker marks at all. The gold/burgundy looks brand new!
Distributed by Musicland for Elvis Records, 1988.
This is TISM's famous debut album. 2LP in length. Ridiculous in nature. Features the singles Defecate On My Face, Saturday Night Palsy, John Bonham's Coke Roadie, I'm Interested in Apathy, Martin Scorcese Is Really Quite A Jovial Fellow, 40 Years Then Death...
This particular copy was bought (if memory serves) from a vinyl specialist in Perth. It has been in my possession for about 10 or 15 years. I have played it once or twice during that time (hey, I have the cds and .wav files.)
The jury's out on whether this version or the non-deluxe version is more "rare." Conventional wisdom says the deluxe version should be rarer, but I've heard from someone close to Musicland that there ended up being just as many deluxe versions as plain versions! So, you be the judge. It's certainly the better LOOKING version in my opinion.
Fun fact: This deluxe sleeve meant that, back in 1988, TISM had to increase the sticker price on their LP to cover costs.
Anyway, this is one of the most loved and celebrated TISM albums. This is your chance to own a legit old-school vinyl version that's in stunning condition!

Hello. Take a look at my other auctions for more rare TISM items. I've been buying and selling TISM stuff since about 1996. For a while in the late 1990s and early 2000s I sorta worked for the band. Please do get in touch if you have stuff you want to sell, if you ever took photos of the band, or have memories from gigs particularly from 1986-1990. But any time period really. and keep an eye on www.tism.net.au. Thanks for lookin' folks!
