Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band - Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) - 1980 Vinyl LP (Virgin Records 201 425-320) EX/VG+ 12" Vinyl
Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) was released July 1978, only in the USA & Canada. It did not appear in the retail European market until 1980. A highly anticipated album, this official release is in fact a mix of new songs and a 'remake' of material from an album entitled "Bat Chain Puller" that never saw an official release, with the additions came the added sub-title "Shiny Beast"

My Grading System
M only sealed media gets this tag
NM/M- for media that is brand new but open unsealed and has never been played
EX when I don't see any marks or scratches but it's not new so it's excellent but not perfect
VG+ when I see very few marks, scuffing or scratches / usually this is great media
VG when there may be a few more scuffs and scratches but it plays very good.. maybe with 'some' crackling but no skips
VG- or a G+ about the same rating, when it looks just terrible but plays
G this rating is only for the collector, otherwise it's ready for the glue factory
