Comment:

Lesser known than Dow Jones or Last 4 Digits, The Observers aka 3-O were a studio concoction headed by Brad Garton of Dow Jones and Dave Fulton of Last 4 Digits.  Heavily inspired by the Residents, this EP captures the early DIY/new wave/no wave ethic nicely.  More avant garde than punk..  Many copies were lost in the legendary basement flood that also took down other Hardly stock.  Here is a new unplayed copy from the archives, for your consideration..

    
Be sure to check out our other items for sale. We specialize in offbeat, rare, great and quirky music of all types. We put the majority of items DIRECTLY into our ebay store so it pays to check often for new listings.  Add us to your favorite sellers list so you get notified when we update.

GRADING is visual except where noted. Standard Goldmine grading except we use "Ex" as a mid-grade between Vg+ and NM.

Please note that vinyl is an imperfect medium. Even NM or unplayed records will sometimes have slight surface noise. While we try to list all noticeable defects, if you are extremely particular please email before you buy or bid for details. Assume that records from 1970 on are stereo pressings unless noted otherwise.  Confused by abbreviations and acronyms?  More info needed on grading?  Go here.

International Shipping

Shipping and Handling :  All orders are processed and shipped within 10 business days of receipt of payment, except where noted (vacations, etc.). We usually ship once a week.
We ship worldwide; shipping options are shown herein, including estimated delivery times and rates. S&H price includes the cost of packaging, postage and delivery confirmation (domestic only). Combine purchases and save on shipping. You must request a quote on packages of 6 lp's or more, box sets, unusual packages, etc.
Packaging:  We use heavy duty custom record mailers and sandwich your records between two cardboard flats. For open records, we pack the vinyl outside of its cover in an inner sleeve.  This protects the jacket from seam splits and the record from damage.  If you want something other than this, please let us know.

Insurance : Optional BUT highly recommended. Please request a a quote for insurance if desired.  We will not be responsible for uninsured packages once they have left our hands.  All domestic packages are trackable via delivery confirmation (but this is NOT insurance).

International insured shipments can be insured up to the amount of their declared value.  1st Class International shipments cannot be insured, so we have to use the more expensive Priority International method to add insurance.  Please, if you want insurance, let us know before you pay.

International packages are not trackable unless insured. If you want insurance and tracking on international shipping the package is automatically declared at the insured rate. International buyers wishing insurance or tracking, regardless of your country, please email first for a quote.  If you do not request it, you waive all claims in regard to packages being damaged, not arriving, etc.  We are not and we cannot be held responsible for customs charges. Sorry but we have to be clear on this.
