Corrosion Of Conformity ‎– Technocracy - Vinyl LP - Original 1987 Pressing

FYI: Even though Ebay gives a seller 7 different categories to grade their records in. They do not actually define what those categories mean, so I will do it:
Mint: Never played, brand new, still in shrink wrap. Near Mint: Like new condition, opened, plays w/out any skips or drags. Excellent: Lightly used, minor skips & not many of them. Very Good Plus: Maybe 1 track unplayable due to scratches or wear. Very Good: Maybe 1/4 of the tracks unplayable or badly scratched due to mishandling.  Good Plus: Maybe 1/2 of the tracks unplayable or badly scratched due to mishandling.  Good: Unplayable record, good only for Nostalgic decoration & reminiscence.

Group History: Early years (1982–1987)
Corrosion of Conformity (C.O.C.) was formed in Raleigh, North Carolina by bassist and vocalist Mike Dean, guitarist Woody Weatherman, drummer Reed Mullin and singer Benji Shelton in 1982. They were influenced by heavy metal bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Scorpions and Judas Priest, as well as by hardcore groups like Black Flag, Bad Brains, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, Discharge, and Germs.
They released tracks on the No Core cassette tape compilation on the label of the same name along with other North Carolina punk bands in 1982 as well as on the "Why are we here?" 7" compilation in 1983, also on the No Core label. Benji quit the band in 1983 and C.O.C. first recruited Robert Stewart to sing but he stayed only for about a month, so they recruited Eric Eycke from fellow Raleigh band Colcor to be the new singer. They recorded their first album, "Eye for an Eye", with Eric.
Their hardcore punk-oriented 20-track debut Eye for an Eye—the only album featuring the vocalist Eric Eycke—was released in 1984 (later re-released by Caroline Records during 1989). Soon after, Eycke left the band and C.O.C. continued as a three-piece with Dean and Mullin sharing the vocal duties on the 1985's follow-up Animosity. In 1987, COC recruited Simon Bob Sinister after the breakup of their fellow Carolina band and Death Records labelmates Ugly Americans. The band's 1987 release, Technocracy, featured the hectic crossover thrash musicianship of COC with a cleaner vocal style than they had in the past.
