This is a copy of the Lounge Lizards' 1987 album 'No Pain For Cakes'. A very cool album of eclectic modern music; verging on jazz, flirting with the avant-garde. Clever - in a good way.

A NOTE ABOUT GRADING
All records are graded using the 'Goldmine' grading system, applied conservatively. Grading is as follows:
M = MINT. Absolutely perfect in every way - never played. I rarely use this grade.
NM
= NEAR MINT. A nearly perfect record. The record should show no obvious
signs of wear. The LP jacket should have no creases, folds, seam splits
or other signs of use. The same should be true of inserts, lyric
sheets, posters, etc.
NM- = NEAR MINT MINUS. This is a grade of
my own devising. The record will show signs that it was played, but
rarely. Record surfaces may have very light needle trails or very light
scuffs, but NO scratches or warps. The LP jacket may have very light
wear, but NO cut-out holes, cut corners or saw cuts.
VG+ = VERY GOOD PLUS. The record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner(s) who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show slight signs of wear and may have slight warps, slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't significantly affect the listening experience. The LP jacket may have some signs of wear and may be marred by a cut-out hole/cut corner/saw cut..
VG = VERY GOOD.
Many of the condition issues found on a VG+ record will be more
pronounced on a VG record. Some surface noise will be evident upon
playing. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light
scratches (deep enough to be felt with a fingernail) that will affect
the sound. LP jackets may have writing, tape or stickers/labels/tags.
Other signs of wear may also be evident.
VG- = VERY GOOD MINUS.
Similar to a VG record, but with more obvious condition issues. Surface
noise from light scratches or groove wear will be present, but the
record will not have skips. LP jackets will have multiple signs of wear.
Not collectible, but may serve as a play copy.
