Up for auction is my copy of Aaron Dilloway's 2xLP "Modern Jester" on Hanson Records. This is a rare phenomenon that demands repeat listens. You've never heard anything like it. It will fundamentally change the way that you understand the world around you. I am the only owner, I bought it when it came out, it is a first pressing (limited to 400 copies on black vinyl for the first pressing). I have never played the album, I buy them to support the artist then just put them in storage and listen to digital versions.
The gatefold sleeve and the vinyl are all in excellent condition; I couldn't see any damage to report. Let me know if you have questions or would like more photos!
"Those sounds flow together so seamlessly that he's often like a noise DJ, beat-matching his loops so it's hard to tell where each begins and ends. Aptly enough, the piece where he does that best is called "Body Chaos", a 19-minute journey taking up all of side two. Portions are like an alternate-universe dance track, as noises melt into each other, burst into anarchic climaxes, then recede into sparse echo. When Dilloway settles into that steady mode, Modern Jester becomes a travelogue where words and pictures are replaced by sonic textures." -Pitchfork

**I will ship the item wrapped in bubble wrap in a cardboard LP mailer. Unless you specifically contact me to request otherwise, I will  ship with the disc outside of the main jacket to protect the seams from damage in transit. I do not currently have access to a turntable, so I must visually grade my records. If you have any questions or would like to see more photos, reach out. I am not a professional seller, just a longtime collector who has decided to sell them all off.**
