THE HOLD STEADY - SEPARATION SUNDAY

Sleeve grades VG+.  Super clean - almost NM condition.  Includes original insert.

Vinyl grades VG.  Play testing shows the vast majority plays VG+ but there is a touch of crackle in a few spots, particularly at the end of side B, though it's faint and not really noticeable.  Vinyl surface has some light surface marks and hairlines under magnification but no scratches.

The critically acclaimed sophomore studio album from Brooklyn narrative-rockers The Hold Steady. Released on Frenchkiss Records in 2005, Separation Sunday is a sprawling, literary concept album following the interconnected lives of recurring characters like Gideon, Charlemagne, and Holly across the streets of Minneapolis and New York City. Driven by Craig Finn's impassioned spoken-word delivery and Tad Kubler's classic-rock guitar riffs, tracks like "Your Little Hoodrat Friend," "Banging Camp," and "Multitude of Casualties" define one of the most celebrated indie rock releases of the 2000s.
