Description

"Unlistenable", "Worst Album Ever" That's what the critics and most of the listening public said upon MMM's release. Was this some kind of passion release for Lou that most of us weren't that passionate about or was he just trying to get out of his recording contract?
As one of the few that have listened to all 4 sides in one sitting, twice in my younger days ( quite possibly while intoxicated on some kind of substance) and just now, to make sure it played well. (It does!) I gotta say there's something there-somewhere around the middle of Side B -I felt something stir. Maybe I almost got the point?
Anyway, I'd give the cover a Good+ . It has visible storage wear and a "cut out" slit on the bottom right front through back. See photos
The vinyl itself is IMMACULATE. NO SCRATCHES. As stated above it has only been played 3 times. Overall I give my copy a VG+ .
Say what you will about this record, it's a great conversation piece and a GREAT PRICE on a Rock & Roll COLLECTORS ITEM!
