Hello there.  I'm selling my much loved vinyl collection that I've accumulated over the last 60 years because we have moved house and simply don't have the room anymore.  This vinyl is in VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS condition.  This RARE FIRST PRESSING was bought used and has been well looked after, although general wear and tear of the record sleeve comes with the age (the scuffs and writing to the record sleeve are illustrated in the photographs).  The sleeve is in VERY GOOD MINUS condition.  I would like it to go to a good home.

For multiple buys, this is the general rule of thumb for UK bidders:
International buyers - please message me for more info.

1 - 2 vinyl                 £3.99
3 - 4 vinyl                 £4.99
5 - 6 vinyl                 £5.99
7 - 8 vinyl                 £6.99
9 - 50 vinyl               £9.99

These prices can obviously vary due to the weight of each album, but it's a good guideline.

All actions will run their course, just let me know when you're all done bidding/winning and I'll send you an invoice with reduced P&P.

Any questions, please ask away. . .

Text panel at the top of the front cover:
"The music on this album, drawn from Faust's own library of private tapes, was recorded informally and not originally intended for release. However, since British interest in the group has been unusually great, it has been decided to make some of this unofficial material available to the public in this country. These tapes have been left exactly as they were recorded - frequently live - and no post-production work has been imposed on them. The group wish to make it clear that this is not to be regarded as their third album, but a bonus release - on sale at the current price of a single - to mark their signing with Virgin Records, for whom they will shortly be recording their next official album. The Faust Tapes reveals Faust at their most personal and spontaneous. It's a unique glimpse behind the scenes of a group which European and British critics have hailed as one of the most exciting and exploratory in the world. Virgin Records"

The rest of the front cover text is made out of press quotes from: Best, Rock & Folk, Sounds, Disc, Extra, Pop Music, and New Musical Express.

Black & white 'twins' Virgin labels indicate Side One and Side Two without any track titles, some parts were specified on later reissues. Musicians are uncredited.
The cover has a 'fluted spine' (pinched at both edges).
