Sorry, but with the size of my Living Estate Sale I cannot list many individual albums. So, I am offering this great group of 4 classic Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band original vinyl LPs from the 70s and 80s. Of course, the premiere title is the 1970 release Trout Mask Replica produced by the incomparable Frank Zappa. There is a ring and partial edge splits to the gatefold cover of this double album, but the sleeves are pristine and original as are the 8 page lyrics and art sheet inserts. I classify sides 1 & 2 as Mint and Sides 3 & 4 as Ex fine to Near Mint. This is Warner Reprise stereo STS1053 and 2MS 2027. Next chronologically is the 1978 release Shiny Beast BSK 3256 on Warner Bros. Records. Vinyl is Near Mint and the cover art work is extremely clean, but there is some discoloration in the white portions of the cover. The great Don Van Vliet is featured on all album cover art. 3rd is the 1980 release Doc At The Radar Station on Virgin Records VA 13148. I go Mint/Mint on this pressing. A very slick shiny cover, crisp original sleeve and flawless in my view vinyl. Itemlast in the set is the 1982 release Ice Cream For Crow on Virgin Epic AL 38274 & ARE 38274. I also classify Mint/Mint on this pressing. The cover still contains original shrink wrap and again visually flawless vinyl. I realize I am likely a departure from the traditional record sales format standards, but I believe it is a great collection and set at a very reasonable price. You are welcome to come out with a "Best Offer" with the condition of just one, or two of the records and I will consider splitting the listing, but I would like to see the group stay together to one buyer. As always, free shipping, a charity donation, and the "Best Offer" listing format to consider all fair buyer offers. I believe my impeccable feedback speaks toward long running buyer satisfaction.
