• ARTIST/GROUP: JACK HARDY
• TITLE: The Mirror Of My Madness
• FORMAT: LP
• LABEL/CATALOGUE #: Great Divide #JA-1
• RELEASE DATE: ca. 1976

• LABEL DESCRIPTION: See Photo

• SONG TITLES: The Tailor; Houston Street; Locked Up In Feelings; Murder; Down Where The Rabbits Run; Out Of Control; Victim Of The Dawn; Night On The Town; The Boat Song; Resolution; Big Wheels; Go Tell The Savior

• DESCRIPTION: VERY RARE and COLLECTIBLE private/DIY folk-rock/psych micropress marvel from Greenwich Village, by oddball outsider Village folk-scene mainstay of the ‘70s and ‘80s. Excellent, moody self-produced, all-original tunes. Solid review in Acid Archives. Homemade cover with hand-written/colored lettering and hand-pasted "slicker" made of real newspaper and a cut-out photo of the artist, plus a blank back (not sure if the cover was manufactured this way or not – some web sites indicate the covers were generic blank, so the "artwork" may have been added later, though possibly by Hardy himself!). With two lyric sheets.

CONDITION: (See GRADING GUIDELINES below for further details)

• VINYL: VG++
• COVER: VG+ (clean 1" and tiny splits)

NOTE: All LPs are professionally cleaned using the VPI HW-17 RECORD CLEANING SYSTEM and carefully inspected under a grading lamp with 120-watt bulb.

• Guidelines reflect TYPICAL factors determining grade - variations are noted in the description
• Please note: I DO NOT USE EXCELLENT (EX) as a grade.
• Flaws for ALL covers graded below VG+ are noted in the description.
• I rarely use grades below VG, and all vinyl graded VG or less is appropriately spot play-graded to assure sound quality.
• Grades below G are not listed, as I typically do not sell merchandise in such condition.
• Intermediate grades (e.g., NM-, VG/VG+, VG++) are used, as applicable.
• MINT: Factory Sealed; cover virtually flawless
• NM+ (Near Mint Plus) - Factory sealed with minor cover flaws, OR an otherwise mint LP recently opened by me and played in spots for demonstration purposes
• NM (Near Mint) - vinyl, cover and labels nearly flawless
• VG+ (Very Good Plus) - what many refer to as "excellent"; pretty close to NM. Full or nearly full-gloss vinyl with a few minor surface or sleeve marks; possibly one or a couple small, light scuffs or scratches (if basically inaudible) on an otherwise NM piece. Expect minimal or very slight (at worst) surface noise in spots. Cover has very slight general wear, OR minimal wear and a couple of very minor flaws (noted as applicable in the description)
• VG (Very Good) - Vinyl still very shiny, has a few light scuffs, sleeve marks and hairline or small light scratches. Expect only slight surface noise in spots
• VG- (Very Good Minus) - Vinyl typically still shiny or very shiny (may be slight groovewear), has a few light scuffs, surface marks and/or small scratches, plus some sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect slight surface noise that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming.
• G (Good) - Vinyl typically still shiny (sometimes very shiny; may be slight groovewear), has some scuffs and some surface marks, generally a few or some light scratches, plus lots of sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect some surface noise throughout that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming - NO skips, sticks, heavy scuffs, deep scratches, excessive noise, or loud pops or clicks (unless noted in description)
