Release notes
Collection of very early recordings, in a limited edition of 500 copies, issued in a white sleeve with paper sticker and an insert booklet, a parody on lists as sent by dealers in prog and psych rock.
All copies are signed by Nick Saloman on front and handnumbered.
Blank labels.
The subtitle (The Great Magnet Disaster) refers to the accidental erasure with a speaker magnet of the master tapes for the planned album, this was compiled & released instead.
[Now re-released by Rubric Records on CD, 2005 RUB21]
All the tracks from this LP were also issued as bonus tracks on Reckless Records CD issues of various Bevis Frond CDs.
-----
Additional notes: ATTENTION! Most of the copies which are on the market are counterfeits. Most of them stem from Italy.
The original item MUST have the runout information as shown above. It also should have written a few words from Nick Salomon as he also signed the sleeve, and the yellow square should be stuck on with glue.
All copies all have different messages on the front.
From Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond) on 9/14/2018: They'd be signed 'Bevis Frond', they should have a 'rare records' booklet inserted, and each side of the vinyl has a message in the run-out grooves, as follows: 'enublian heglon, tangerine infringement beak, spunj toecap, and 'lymph gland'. If the vinyl doesn't have these, then it's not an original.
Unnumbered copies are counterfeits, as are copies numbered 229, which also lack the signing of Solomon.
Record grading guide
Every record is graded visually (and play-tested when in doubt) using the Goldmine standard — the same scale used by Discogs sellers worldwide. Media and sleeve are always graded separately.
| M | Mint — perfect, usually still sealed. We use this grade very rarely. |
|---|---|
| NM | Near Mint — looks barely played. No visible marks, plays clean. |
| VG+ | Very Good Plus — light signs of use, minor sleeve wear. Plays great; our most common grade. |
| VG | Very Good — visible wear, may have light surface noise that doesn't overpower the music. |
| G+ / G | Good — plays through without skipping but with noticeable noise. Priced accordingly. |
| F / P | Fair / Poor — filler or collector copies only. Always described in the notes. |
Anything worth mentioning that the grade doesn't capture is in the seller notes on each listing.
