VINYL=  Excellent / Cover = Near-Mint w/ printed inner sleeve in shrink. 1st Press.

NOTES:Not since the Jesus and Mary Chain made their initial assault did a band come out of nowhere to generate as much excitement and acclaim as the Sugarcubes. The shock of the new that attended the first album launched the extraordinary Icelandic quintet into the international arena with acceleration to spare. Behind Björk Gudmundsdóttir’s unmistakable vocals, the band busted stylistic moves the likes of which had never been heard; alien precepts (singer Einar Örn’s trumpet among them), batty lyrics and abundant creative energy pushed it past the ordinary limits of ordinary Anglo-American rock. Drumming (by Siggi Baldursson) and guitar work point to such influences as Joy Division and Siouxsie and the Banshees and, in more delicate moments (such as “Birthday,” their debut single), bits of the Cocteau Twins. They also make very interesting use of an electronically mutated trumpet and sound effects. But the Sugarcubes’ main instrument is Björk’s amazing voice. The elfin character’s range of pitch is only surpassed by her range of emotions: one moment she’s a little girl soprano, the very next she’s growling like a crazed animal about to go for the kill.
NOTE: All records are U.S. pressings unless otherwise noted)
Records are visually graded under many bright lights. Any questionable marks are played at 1.5g tracking. Record Grading: SS (Still Sealed), Near-Mint (near perfect), Excellent (Just a few signs that the record has been played keeping it from being NM), Very Good Plus (VG+ = A used, reasonable copy. Will show several signs of play but still perfectly good). Very Good (VG = Record will show quite a bit of signs of play. Will likely have some surface noise, especially at the begining and in quite passages. Should play without skipping). I do not sell records below VG grade unless they are scarce or for the jacket).
