The impact of Faust cannot be overstated; their debut album was truly a revolutionary step forward in the progress of "rock music".
The black X-ray of a fist on the cover graphically illustrates the hard core music contained in the grooves, an amalgamation of electronics, rock, tape edits, acoustic guitars, musique concrete, and industrial angst.
The level of imagination is staggering, the concept is totally unique and it's fun to listen to as well.
The fist on the cover is that of a friend of the group's, Andy Hertel ("Faust" being German for "fist")
Side 1: Why Don't You Eat Carrots? - Meadow Meal (18:32)
Side 2: Miss Fortune (17:55)
LABELS: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set of labels - barely a spindle mark to be seen
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like new
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Never heard a copy deliver totally clean sound and in my opinion this is just about as good as it gets - no scratches, just some crackle at the beginning of each side and the odd light tick/pop - nothing really - a very fine copy
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Apart from some record impression marking the cover is in great shape - solid with no splits or damage
INSERT: EXCELLENT
Clean and unmarked with just one tiny bend to one corner
