This Nation's Saving Grace (Vinyl LP)

'Hex enduction hour' may always be the fall's crowning achievement, but 1985's 'this nat-ion's saving grace' is certainly another masterpiece. irreverent and intellectual, the fall symbolize the golden age of underground rock n' roll in the 1980s. for better or worse, many alternative rock bands duplicated this sound time and again over the next decade. stompers like 'barmy,' 'what you need,' and the mighty 'gut of the quantifier' are all led by brix smith's twanging lead hooks, filled by distorted guitars and bludgeoning drums, on top of which smith rants with conviction.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
