Formed in Tokyo in 1987, ZENI GEVA reached a turning point on 1991's "Total Castration", the first album recorded and engineered by their lifelong friend and collaborator Steve Albini. Never before available on vinyl and extensively restored and remastered, "Total Castration" is where one of rock music's most ferocious and uncompromising partnerships began - a landmark in heavy music laid to analog tape. Pressed on "24Hz GOLD" Colored Vinyl and comes complete with a double-sided, collectible Footlong OBI. Zeni Geva toured the world, released numerous albums, and were and are a formidable force in the noise, punk, metal, and experimental scenes. To say they are the missing link between all those genres and their respective bands and fans is an understatement. - BANDCAMP DAILY K.K. Null is a living legend and ZENI GEVA is Null's answer to grindcore and the eternally heavy. - PITCHFORK Zeni Geva extrudes venomous thrash with a death metal sensibility and the kick-pedal frequency of hardcore industrialism. "Total Castration" is a groaning mass of gory riff decimation - TROUSER PRESS "Calling Zeni Geva noise rock is accurate enough to be useful and insufficient enough to be frustrating. They've spent decades doing something that most heavy music never quite manages: making noise feel genuinely dangerous. Zeni Geva have been doing this since before the internet existed to explain or categorize them, and the music has that quality of things that were never made to be consumed quickly. It was built to last precisely because it was built without compromise. Thirty-plus years in, the catalog doesn't feel dated. It feels like evidence." - METAL JAPAN

GRADING
GRADING
Yellow Racket assigns condition based on the Goldmine Standard for grading records.
New (N) (Not typically included in the Goldmine Standard)
New records are purchased directly from the label, distributor, or registered wholesaler. Records are still sealed. Jackets may have slight shelf wear, but media has never been played.
Mint (M)
Still sealed. Never played. No observable flaws. Items have been purchased secondhand.
Near Mint (NM)
A Near Mint (NM) record will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.
The cover (and any additional packaging) has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable defects.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus (VG+) record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches.
The disc and LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be gently marred by spindle marks, paper scuffs, wrinkled corners, etc.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident, but will not overpower the music. Disc may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels, jackets, and inserts will have visible cosmetic flaws such as wrinkles, cut-outs, slight splitting, etc. However, it will usually have less than a dozen minor flaws.
Good (G)
A record in Good condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present.
While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
Poor (P), Fair (F)
The record may be cracked, badly warped, or won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve may be water damaged, split, or heavily marred by wear and writing.
