Description:Like new copy of the OOP 2nd lp by Spoils Of War, on Shadoks Records. Long out of print, here's your chance for a NM copy!

"Originally released in 1968/70, and headed by Jim Cuomo, this is a follow-up album of unreleased live and studio material from The Spoils of War, previously released as a double LP. The Spoils Of War made some of the most inspiring but strange music from the '60s, in the same awe-inspiring vein as early Mothers Of Invention. This is music with a hearty intellectual background, combined with well-crafted and well-performed music in the key of Zappa. Other influences might indicate early Soft Machine, Slap Happy, Henry Cow and Faust. For open-minded listeners, The Spoils of War are a must: experiments with electronic sounds, compositions and performances of beautiful harmonies and songs, and all circa 1967/68. How in the world could he make music like this so early? Well, it must have been the inspiring influence of Jim Cuomo's musical teacher John Cage. Even today the music of The Spoils Of War goes far beyond most other modern pop music and will be inspiring for many years from now. - Shadoks

GRADING:

NEAR MINT (NM): Otherwise mint but has one or two tiny flaws that do not affect play. Covers should be close to perfect, with minor signs of wear or age just becoming evident. A Near Mint cover might have slight ring-wear, minor denting to a corner, or unobtrusive writing on the cover, but should look close to new.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): The record has been handled and played infrequently or very carefully. Not too far from perfect. On a disc, there may be light paper scuffs from sliding in and out of a sleeve or some of the original luster may be lost. A slight scratch that did not affect play would be acceptably VG+ for most collectors. This is what a lot of dealers call EX.

VERY GOOD (VG): Record displays visible signs of handling and playing, such as loss of vinyl luster, light surface scratches, groove wear and spindle trails. Some audible surface noise. Cover has heavy ring wear, seam splits, bent corners, loss of gloss, stains.

VERY GOOD MINUS (VG-): Vinyl may have numerous scratches including heavy scratches that will tick, heavy surface noise. A VG- cover might have large seam splits, tears, writing on the cover that obscures the artwork. I usually don't list records in this condition unless it is an extremely rare title.
