ARC ANGELS

GEFFEN RECORDS GEF 24465

SCARCE ORIGINAL GERMAN VINYL!

A scarce opportunity to bid for this original German pressing of Arc Angels' debut self-titled album

on Geffen! Bought second-hand from the now-closed Beanos in Croydon, U.K., it has just been carefully

stored, unplayed, ever since!

Sleeve: Thick card with the mottled blue-green front cover showing an illustration of a pale green-blue star, topped

with the face of a blonde woman wearing a crown, with wings either side of her head. The band name/album title

is in red capitals across the centre, with images of a lizard, a yellow rose and the planet Earth underneath. A 100mm

x 50MM white sticker, top-right, has the following text:

'GEF 24465

ARCANGELS

ARE

TOMMY SHANNON (BASS) A FORMER MEMBER OF DOUBLE TROUBLE, STEVIE RAY VAUGHN'S BAND.

CHARLIE SEXTON (GUITAR/VOCALS) STUDIED WITH JIMMIE AND STEVIE RAY VAUGHN.

DOYLE BRAMHALL II (GUITAR/VOCALS) TOURED AND WROTE WITH THE FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS.

CHRIS LAYTON (DRUMS) A FORMER MEMBER OF DOUBLE TROUBLE, STEVIE RAY VAUGHN'S BAND.

PRODUCED BY LITTLE STEVEN.'

The dark blue back cover has a small colour photo of the band, taken outside a house, in a lane and in front of

an old American car! A small yellow rose is in the centre of the top edge of the picture, with a red dice in the same

position on the bottom edge. Track listing is shown above and below the photo. The barcode (7 2064-24465-1 5)

is printed, top-right, with the Geffen logo and name, bottom-left. Little Steven has a production credit at the end

of the track listing, just above the bottom edge. The sleeve is in brilliant condition for 22 years of age! It is intact,

with no tears, repairs, bumps or notations! Edges and corners are still nice and sharp, with no signs of appreciable

wear! There are one or two, short, light, surface-only creases by the spine and a couple of equally light, partial

ring marks can be seen when the cover is angled to the light. Aside from these issues, the sleeve looks fantastic!

Inner Sleeve: Black-and-white printed picture bag. One side has a photo of the band standing on the porch of a house,

again with the rose and dice featured top and bottom, as on the sleeve. Song lyrics are printed below. The opposite side

has a photo of a gate, car tyre and garden or yard, with images of the Earth and an eye, top and bottom, in place of the

rose and dice. The bag is intact and undamaged!

Matrix Numbers: Side 1 - 203 DMG-0309 A-1 C

Side 2 - 203 DMG-0309 B-1 C

Vinyl: Very clean and shiny, with no obvious marks! Looks practically unplayed! Awesome!

Labels: Both are intact. There are a few faint, localised spindle marks by the hole on each label,

together with one or two minute production splits by the hole.
