Title: Millions Now Living Will Never Die
Artist: Tortoise Year: 1996 Label: Thrill Jockey  Catalog #: 025  *matrix #'s THR 025A & 025B Track Listing: see photos  Vinyl Grade: NM grade   *beautiful copy! condition of labels are as seen in photos Cover Grade: NM Notes: original insert included and in near perfect condition; generic inner sleeve included  Info: Tortoise revolutionized American indie rock in the mid-'90s by playing down tried-and-true punk and rock & roll influences, emphasizing instead the incorporation of a variety of left-field music genres from the past 20 years, including Krautrock, dub, avant-garde jazz, classical minimalism, ambient and space music, film music, and British electronica. Tortoise's production expertise hit an early peak with Millions Now Living Will Never Die, a work that not only references studio-centric forms like dub and electronica, but actively welds them to the group's aesthetic of sturdily constructed indie rock. (AllMusic)                                                                              GRADING STANDARDS: 

Mint (M): A Mint record and jacket must both be absolutely perfect in every way. For this reason the grade is seldom used, even with sealed albums where the record itself can only assumed to be mint. Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record and jacket that shows no obvious signs of wear or defects. Excellent (EX) or (VG++): Also a nearly perfect record and jacket with a minimum of audible or visual imperfections. Very Good Plus (VG+): Record will show some signs of wear such as slight scuffs or very light scratches, that don't affect one's listening experience. Jackets may also have slight signs of wear. Any specific serious flaws in either the record or jacket will be noted. Very Good (VG): Many of the defects listed for a VG+ record or jacket will be more pronounced on a VG album. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, but will not overpower the music otherwise.  Good (G): A record in good condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without any repeating "skips", although it will have more severe audible surface noise and scratches than a VG record. Jackets will also have more pronounced defects than a VG cover.
