THIS ONE IS #80 of 1000
from the US MAPLE website:
"Our first full-length album, LONG HAIR IN THREE STAGES was recorded late 1995 with Jim O'Rourke at Solid Sound Studios in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. This was Jim's first legitimate recording session with a Rock and Roll band. Today, he is an esteemed and highly sought after producer for many bands. The recording was released on both CD and vinyl formats, with the vinyl containing a bonus track. As for the artwork, the band and Mark Fischer, CEO of Skin Graft Records traveled to his father's metal manufacturing shop in St. Louis, Missouri. According to Fisher's design, we would to turn raw material into album jackets. Large sheets of aluminum were sectioned, trimmed and cut to size by the five of us. The jackets were then punch-pressed and the edges dulled. The spine alone required three precise bends. Each jacket was then hand polished by everyone, leaving no two alike. More than fifty hours hard labor went into the making and design for the album jackets alone. Today, the vinyl version is a rare, collector's item fetching ridiculous prices. Approximately 1000 vinyl copies were made."
Near mint condition, played only a couple times.
