SNFU ‎– Better Than a Stick in The Eye - Ultra Rare Marbleized Opaque Vinyl LP - Original 1988 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: SNFU is a Canadian hardcore punk band formed in 1981 in Edmonton and relocated to Vancouver in 1992. The band has released eight full-length studio albums, two live records, and one compilation, and has been a formative influence on the skate punk subgenre. Their work has on occasion been included in rankings of the best Canadian music.
In their early years, SNFU built an audience across North America through energetic live performances and a dynamic punk sound. Their 1985 debut album ...And No One Else Wanted to Play has remained influential in underground circuits. They grew in popularity following two further studio albums, If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish (1986) and Better Than a Stick in the Eye (1988), but they disbanded in 1989 due to internal tensions.
SNFU reformed two years later in a new incarnation that had greater success. They signed with the prominent indie label Epitaph Records, with whom they released the albums Something Green and Leafy This Way Comes (1993), The One Voted Most Likely to Succeed (1995), and FYULABA (1996). These records achieved six-digit record sales while the band also toured in support of popular groups like Green Day and Bad Religion. SNFU became independent in 1997 after their contract with Epitaph expired. Following the self-released and critically praised In the Meantime and In Between Time (2004), they again disbanded in 2005, only to reform two years later with a new lineup. This incarnation released the album Never Trouble Trouble Until Trouble Troubles You in 2013.
The group is fronted by the eccentric singer, lyricist, and artist Ken Chinn, credited as Mr. Chi Pig. Founding members and twin brothers Brent and Marc Belke helped create the band's melodic hardcore punk sound with dual guitar work before their respective departures in 1998 and 2005. Nearly 30 musicians have played in the group, with only Chinn remaining constant. Beginning in 2014, the band's lineup has included returning bassist Dave Bacon, a member from 1985 to 1987, and guitarists Randy Steffes and Kurt Robertson; Batikão Est began serving as the group's drummer in 2016. The band has been on hiatus since March 2018 due to health concerns.
