Up for bid is MOUTH READER "Hands"  EP released in 2015 for RSD. Cover/Record are Near Mint and unplayed. 
Limited Pressing Of 50 CLEAR LATHE CUT FLEXI EP's with PLAYABLE POP-UP BOOK.  OUT OF PRINT!
Mouth Reader bring the heavy riffs along with the punk rock party.  Fans of Thee Oh Sees will dig their acid-flavored assault while fans of King Tuff and Warm Soda will gravitate to their impossibly fun hooks.  

While the majority of Tennesseans were standing in line at Third Man Records  for Record Store Day 2015, a couple of Murfreesboro misfits by the name of Mouth Reader quietly dropped one of the most creative Record Store Day items of the year.  The beautiful aesthetics of this lathe pop-up book are merely the icing on this smoking batch of hot fire rock ‘n roll cake.

Lathe cuts will always have some degree of surface noise/pops/crackles, which tends to largely disappear once the music starts, especially for full, loud recordings. However, these lathe cuts are not audiophile records, or even comparable to standard pressed records. They will sound slightly different than the master, because the plastic reacts to certain frequencies differently. They are made from materials that were never intended to be records. Sound quality varies slightly from one record to the next, and some audio tracks translate better than others. There are many factors that determine the sound of the record; the material, the number of records that have been cut by the stylus, the climate, etc… But we drop-test them all and throw away any that are not up to standard. They are all totally listenable, but intended to be used more as playable art pieces. These lathes are not meant to be the way your track is regularly listened to.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING RULES OF THE AUCTION. I KNOW IT IS A LOT, BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL ALLEVIATE ANY PROBLEMS LATER. I AM NOT AT FAULT IF YOU REFUSE TO READ OR FOLLOW THE AUCTION RULES:  

***ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT MY AUCTIONS, PLEASE ASK BEFOREHAND***

1) Payment is due within 4 days of auction end. If payment not made, an unpaid item case will be filed with Ebay.
2) Feedback given once buyer gives feedback first. If intent on leaving negative feedback or not happy with item, please email me first to hopefully come to a resolution.
3)  Not all records pressed are entirely flat; there may be a slight rise and fall to them. For purposes of this auction, they are not warped. A warped record means it is totally unplayable. THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS GIVEN UNLESS THE RECORD SOLD FALLS INTO THIS CATEGORY, INCLUDING RETURN SHIPPING.

4) Before you bid on an item, consider shipping costs, handling time, and other shipping services. Review the item description carefully. If you have any questions about shipping or anything else, contact the seller beforehand, NOT AFTER THE SALE! I suggest you ask for an invoice before purchasing. If you pay for an item and ask for a partial refund, I will deduct the ebay/paypal fees before the refund because that is money out of my pocket.

5) International Buyers: I mostly ship using Global Shipping Policy. Import duties, taxes, and charges are included in the price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check the auction to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
6) International Buyers: If you can not interpret the rules of this auction due to a language barrier, you may want to have someone who understands English explain it to you. It's not my problem/responsibility if you don't understand. By bidding you are expressing to me you understand and are taking responsibility for your actions.
7)  Not paying for an item after you agree to buy it has negative consequences, explained in Ebay's Unpaid Item Policy.

8) I have no problem if you ask for a different shipping method not specified in the listing. Just be aware that I am not paying for the difference out of my own pocket.  Ask questions first and wait for the invoice before paying.


9) Combined shipping is no problem.  However, if you purchase multiple items and pay the shipping for all of them without requesting an invoice, THERE WILL BE NO SHIPPING REFUNDS, no matter what the $ amount is.                                                                                                         10) If your payment is briefly delayed due to exceptional circumstances, let me know.

11) Delivery confirmation will be supplied. Buyer is responsible for tracking package. If package listed as delivered and buyer never received it, contact your local Post Office. Also, seller is not responsible if item is delivered and buyer did not make arrangements to secure item (ex: away on business, vacation, etc.).
12) Sealed records may be shipped outside jacket to avoid seam splits. Ask immediately after purchase.

13) For purposes of this auction, records/sleeves graded "Near Mint" means there are minor imperfections (ex: minor corner dings, creases, splits, etc.), i.e. not a perfect copy. Also a "Brand New" item can still be removed from the packaging. It's brand new whether you or I open it.

14) New records are graded Still Sealed or Near Mint (NM) by appearance.       Used records are graded NM, EX, VG+, VG, and G for audio quality.

15) Unless noted, the picture of the item is the one for sale.


16) LP records are shipped in standard LP mailers and packed securely. 7" records may be shipped in mailers or envelopes and are secured. I sell as well as own records. Please don't ask to "ship securely, add extra bubble wrap, put it in a record mailer," etc. I understand. If for some reason you want extra secure packing (ie double boxing), it will cost extra. Wait for updated invoice before paying.
17) Finally, if a winning bidder:  Does not want it after it is paid for and demands their money refunded, Mistakenly bid on or claims someone else did and does not want item (exception: bid retraction before auction end. If you can't figure out how to remedy situation, refer to eBay policies), Is not able to redeem a gift card or coupon, Claims they somehow received same item from an outside source, or Purchased item in hand/pre-sale item and found it cheaper or from another source before it shipped to them from Ebay seller (if item is delayed beyond stated time of arrival, I have no problem offering a refund), be advised, any ebay/paypal fees will be deducted from refund, unless auction lists "no refunds".
  I TRY TO BE A FAIR AND RESPONSIBLE SELLER; ITS ONLY FAIR FOR YOU TO BE A RESPONSIBLE BUYER
