Manifest Destiny
LP (Item 565798) Asylum, 1977 — Condition: Very Good
A time-tested second set from The Dictators – one of those late 70s bands who weren't exactly punk, but were there at just the right moment to enjoy the big wave of interest in groups with an edge and a lot of grit in their sound! To some, this set was considered a bit more of a commercial effort than their first – but with the passage of time, the two have blurred together wonderfully – and all the humor of the group is nicely merged with a stronger sense of songcraft – on tunes that include important cover of The Stooges' "Search & Destroy" – plus "Exposed", "Heartache", "Science Gone Too Far", "Sleeping With The TV On", "Hey Boys", and "Young Fast Scientific". © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Very Good
- Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
- May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
- May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
- May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
- This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
