Its printed on regular paper, its 6", and there is a little fold out over the back which is about 2 inches.

Anyone read russian?I actually think that under the Geek USA title it says 'COPYING NOT PERMITTED'.

Anyways, your label is called BUDKOH, then it is D60, and MONO.

On the third pic I think it says GEEKUSA and something about plastic(?) - they probably mean the flexi.

I'll get a closeup of the label on the flexi.

I think it says something like 'Association of' something 'phonoproducers'

Oh and after the close-up, it is obviously MOHO, not MONO.

But I am warning you, this is almost as if you were Italian and someone asked you to translate something in Portuguese. Hell, we aren't even using Russian characters.

Hey Olivier -- Did you get the Zero and Pissant ones too?

Dude, please. :erm:

What else are you going to do with it? Keep it stored away for a couple of years and wait until the price raises? And then sell it as "NEVER PLAYED SUPER RARE!!!!!!"? Hm?

troo fans who never play their vinyl for fear of damaging it.

+ how will you be sure it is geek usa if you never play it?

it is not impossible that it contains something like the polish national anthem and that "smashing pumpkins - geek usa" was added later.

What's the point of playing a rare vinyl just to "play" it when you've got the exact same songs on CD that sound nearly as good?

I mean , this notion that not playing a vinyl makes you less of an enthusiast is friggin ridiculous.

i'm just saying this is a great opportunity to sell fake vinyl

Cool As Ice Cream

if someone sells me a vinyl in "excellent" or "near mint" condition, i always play it, just to check if they're not lying.

Hey Olivier -- Did you get the Zero and Pissant ones too?

Nah, the Zero one went up to 27 dollars, and I think one fake russian item is enough for me.

The seller has more up now, no one is bidding, and they keep getting relisted.

I'm going to save it nevertheless, but if I played it, and heard the polish national anthem, then I'm just going to be sad that its truly useless shit. But if I never play it, then i have no opportunity to know if i was ripped off, therefore I can't feel sad about it.

Ya see?

Polish national anthem is actually a good song
