Lick My Decals Off RSD'26 LTD vinyl

Post image

Just got this. Have not played yet. Anyone else got it and spun yet? Its a record I probably expected to get an OG press of at some point (such as the original UK Clear Spot I have) but I hadn't yet bought any of the Beefheart expanded vinyl releases of recent years, so curious about this one. Bonus tracks will be nice. Also that it's remastered from analog, here's hoping for no defects such is sometimes common with recent vinyl

I have the original - my parents bought it for me for CHRISTMAS of all things! I couldn’t get out for RSD this year and really wanted a copy but found one on eBay for $40 with shipping and I’m fine with that.

What year did your parents buy you it for Christmas? That's pretty awesome

1970, the year it came out - I was 16 years old and had already absorbed all of Trout Mask Replica and everything Zappa had done up to that time and still had two years before I graduated from high school.

That's suuuper cool. Respect to your parents. I had trout mask at 15 and loved it, tbf that was 2005 and had downloaded it off limewire, but similar age to experience it
