3 stars out of 5 - Included in Q's "100 Best Punk Albums" - "...A template for the Californian punk ethic - sunshine ditties played at breakneck pace by cartoon comrades..."Perhaps the funniest album to emerge from the first wave of American punk, the debut album by L.A.'s Dickies is a buzzsaw blast of unapologetic goofiness. Alongside wacky originals like "Walk Like An Egg," much of the album consists of sardonic covers, ranging from Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" to Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction." (One cover, of the Monkees' "She," is played totally straight, and rocks remarkably hard.)

The record has hardly any marks. Just extremely minimal light/faint surface marks/paper scuffs(all barely noticeable hairline/superficial marks!). Both labels are very clean and have no spindle marks. Looks barely played.  It grades near mint condition.

The sleeve has hardly any wear at all. No edge wear. Just the very very faintest of corner wear, otherwise crisp corners.  No splits. No tears. It grades near mint condition.

If you don't want to pay the p+p, you can collect the LP from me in person at one of the many record fairs i attend. Take a look at "Record Fairs worth visiting in Leeds" on FACEBOOK.

Also take a look at "Tapestry Of Delights vinyl records" on FACEBOOK to keep updated with new titles that are being added in my Ebay shop on a daily basis.

If you have any questions,please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks for looking!
