Description
UP FOR AUCTION IS A MINT STILL SHRINKWRAPPED ORIGINAL PRESSING OF BLACK FLAG'S SPOKEN WORD FAMILY MAN LP ON SST RECORDS. ON VINYL (DUH). THE ALBUM ARTWORK WAS DESIGNED BY RAYMOND PETTIBON FOR BLACK FLAG EXCLUSIVELY. EITHER YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS AUCTION BECAUSE YOU ARE A DIE HARD HARDCORE PUNK ROCKER OR YOU ARE AN ART COLLECTOR HIP TO THE LEGENDARY ICONACLAST RAY PETTIBON. EITHER WAY THIS IS A RARE OPPERTUNITY TO BE BOTH! THE ALBUM ITSELF IS ONE OF BLACK FLAGS BEST. IT WAS RELEASED BY SST RECORDS IN 1984 IT IS PERHAPS THE BEST COMEDY MEETS NIHILISM ALBUM EVER. THE SLEEVE, STILL SHRINK WRAPPED, IS MINT THE VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED, HOWEVER THERE IS ONE NARLY LOOKING SCRATCH THAT AFFECTS ONLY ONE TRACK. IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS RECORD BECAUSE OF THE ART YOU ARE IN LUCK! BECAUSE OF THE SHRINK WRAP THE ART ITSELF REMAINS UNTOUCHED FRONT AND BACK. THE IMAGES ARE AWESOME. PETTIBON AT HIS MOST SUBVERSIVE, DEFINITELY WORTH OWNING IF YOU ARE A FAN OF HENRY ROLLINS, BLACK FLAG, OR RAYMON PETTIBON. HERE IS THE STORY: I AM NOT A RECORD STORE, IM NOT A RECORD DEALER, I AM NOT REALLY EVEN A RECORD COLLECTOR, IM MORE OF A RECORD ACCUMULATOR! I HAVE BEEN ACCUMULATING VINYL FOR ABOUT 30 YEARS. I HAVE PURGED MY COLLECTION 3 TIMES. FIRST TIME WAS IN 1984 WHEN I REALIZED HARDCORE WAS DEAD. THE SECOND TIME WAS IN 1986 WHEN I WENT AWAY TO COLLEGE, AND THE THIRD TIME WAS ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO WHEN FRIENDS OF MINE OPENED SHRINE MUSIC, A USED RECORD STORE IN NYC'S EAST VILLAGE. EACH TIME A REGRETTED IT AFTERWARDS AND VOWED TO NEVER DO IT AGAIN. NOW MY GF IS PREGNANT AND I NEED TO MAKE SPACE FOR THE BABY. GOODBYE DUSTY RECORDS! MY PROFOUND LOSS IS YOUR GAIN! PLEASE BID HIGH BECAUSE I NEED TO BABY PROOF MY APARTMENT AND IT IS EXPENSIVE. PLEASE REMEMBER I AM A MUSIC LOVER SELLING HIS RECORD COLLECTION NOT A HEARTLESS RECORD DEALER PROFITING FROM OTHERS UNCONTROLLABLE PASSION. I WILL BE SELLING OFF ABOUT 5 RECORDS A DAY, UNTIL I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE. SO STAY TUNED AND ASK ANY STUPID QUESTIONS YOU CAN THINK OF, I PROMISE I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER.
