Please take the time to read about shipping costs at the end of this listing. If in doubt or if you win more than one auction, please wait for my invoice.

Next to the signed first edition of the Oblique Strategies set of 'worthwhile dilemmas' from 1975, this is the rarest single official item of Eno's seminal 70's period. From 1976 and also limited to just 500 copies, and sent exclusively to film and TV production companies, this 27 track LP is a gem.  While including a handful of previously issued pieces, this collection holds a substantial number of unissued works.  Not to be confused with the 18 track general release of the same title from 1978, which included recordings from '77 and '78.  Please see the photos for track listing and notes. 

This is EG LP EGM 1 and the tan (not grey) unlaminated jacket has colour fade down the spine edge so Ex+. The LP is NM as is the original lined black Island inner bag. 

If this description seems familiar to popsike readers, it is because this is my 'spare' second copy.  I'm not a popsike plagiarist, I write my own copy.  My first sold for $567 back in 2007.  Am making good allowances for that spine fade :)  

Check all the pics..  and make the most of the enlargement facility!

OVERSEAS BUYERS, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WEAK POUND.  STERLING AT 28 MONTH LOW.

The purge of the collection continues..... various things this time, more records next week..

Check my other listings, my feedback, and bid with confidence.  Any reserves are realistic.  Good luck!

Regular clients will know that I usually keep my descriptions brief and to the point.  This set demanded a bit more.   Used records play-checked on SME 15, SME V with VDH cart and cleaned when necessary on a Loricraft Pro II.

GRADINGS:

MINT (M): Brand new and unplayed. Perfect, no indications of being handled or played. I only use this grading if I know for sure the record has not been played.

NEAR MINT (NM): The record is virtually flawless, clean and shiny.  Very minor, barely visible innerbag wear may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. Jacket is as close to perfect.

EXCELLENT (EX): Record plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a non-sounding mark or two but nothing that affects play. Record is clean and shiny.  Any issues with the jacket will be minor and described.

Because I have never collected records that are a lower grade than EX, you won't be finding any for sale here.
