Arthur Russell - World Of Echo Double LP RTRADLP 208 (Rough Trade / Audika USA, 2011)
Limited Edition Record Store Day Release (1000 Copies). Original Album plus bonus tracks.
An astonishing record from avant-garde / Mutant Disco icon Arthur Russell. Created using just a cello, a delay box, and himself. A dream of a record that sounds far ahead of it's time in 2014 even though it is now almost 30 years old.
Condition(I grade NM/EX/VG+/VG/VG-/G/F)
Sleeve– EX - Apart from little bit of wear to the sleeve opening, spine and corners from storage - no issues..
Record– VG+ I bought the record secondhand, and it seems to record shows signs of marks and residue from the manufacturing process, as well as fingermarks. While i've cleaned it best I can (always clean new records well, lesson learned) I think this record could do with a deep clean (Knosti or VPI), but I don't have the facilities. It plays with a light crackle, particularly in the quiet parts (of which this album has quite a few), but it never overpowers the music. This would be lessened with a decent wash. There are some light paper scuffs visible under strong light, but none that seem to cause any ticks are clicks. There is some wear around the centrehole on both discs.
All in all, an very good copy of a hard to find masterpiece on LP, at a slightly cheaper asking price than you'd normally find it. If you have the facility to give it a good (and careful) clean, I'm sure it will play beautifully.
