$

56

BAND: CARCASS

ITEM: "SYMPHONIES OF SICKNESS" LP

YEAR: 1989

LABEL: EARACHE RECORDS

THIS IS A RARE, ORIGINAL GATEFOLD VINYL COPY OF CARCASS' "SYMPHONIES OF SICKNESS" LP.  I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY OF THESE WERE RELEASED, BUT METAL ARCHIVES DOES NOT EVEN HAVE THE PHOTO OR WORDS ABOUT THIS VERSION OF THE RELEASE!  IN MY OPINION...THIS VERY RELEASE WAS CARCASS' BEST MATERIAL TO DATE!  IT WAS A PRECURSOR TO MANY OF THE BANDS NOW CALLED GRIND!  MANY BANDS IMITATED, BUT NONE COULD ACHIEVE THE SOUND, THE LYRICS, OR THE IMAGE!  I PURCHASED THIS LP FROM TOWER RECORDS BACK IN 1989 AND HAVE HAD IT IN MY COLLECTION EVER SINCE.  i ALSO SAW CARCASS ON THIS TOUR...I BELIEVE IT WAS WITH DEATH, IN SUPPORT OF THEIR LEPROSY TOUR.  IT WAS AMAZING!

GRIMLY I DIG UP THE TURFS, TO REMOVE THE CORRUPTED STIFFS, TRYING TO CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT, AS I DESECRATE GRAVEOLENT CRYPTS!

OVERALL, THIS LP IS IN VERY, VERY NICE CONDITION CONSIDERING ITS AGE. I WOULD ALMOST ESTIMATE IT AT EXCELLENT. MOST OF MY LPS HAVE BEEN KEPT IN SLEEVES AND I HAVE TRIED WITH THE UTMOST CARE OF THE YEARS TO KEEP THEM IN THE MOST PRISTINE CONDITION POSSIBLE.

IF ANY BLEMISHES, NICKS, TEARS, FOLDS, OR BENDS ARE WORTH NOTING I WILL DESCRIBE HER TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.  ANY SPOTS IN THE PHOTOS ARE FROM MY CAMERA FLASH.
