Robert Wyatt – Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard

Robert Wyatt – Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard

Media Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

record is absolutely beautiful, close to nm, only one superficial mark on each side. cover is also beautiful, only slight ring indentations on front top cover. small indie shop

Notes:

First issue with twin logo over a red dragon on the labels.
Inner sleeve is black paper over plastic polyethylene, white Virgin logo and data over black background.

On center label side B, track B5 is divided in two parts numbered 5 (Muddy Mouse (c)) and 6 (Muddy Mouth), but is actually only one band on the vinyl. On the record sleeve, track B5 is listed as “Muddy Mouse (c) which in turn leads to Muddy Mouth” (with the two song titles “Muddy Mouse (c)” and “Muddy Mouth” in italics) indicating that this track is two songs that segue (the linking phrase “which in turn leads to” being a reference to a lyric from Muddy Mouth).
