Hello Bidders

This is the auction for the super rare 1st press album (US import from September 1998)

Marilyn Manson – Mechanical Animals

Original “Nothing Records – Interscope” release with coloured vinyl version in White and Blue

SERIAL INT90273-1 (WHITE) MECHANICAL ANIMALS

SERIAL INT90273-2 (BLUE) OMEGA AND THE MECHANICAL ANIMALS

The album is MINT AND UNPLAYED, STILL IN SHRINK!! An absolute gem almost impossible to find in this condition and in the UK!

If you are a Marilyn Manson fan, you know what you just found here, the MUST HAVE album!

The album contains hidden messages on the inserts that are viewable by placing the blue vinyl record over the message. On the first insert, it says "yellow and blue = green" which is how one can read these messages. The messages can also be viewed through the transparent blue CD case on the CD version of the album.

The running order is unique to this format, reflecting the division of the tracks into distinct albums: 'Mechanical Animals' by Marilyn Manson, and 'Omega and the Mechanical Animals', which is presented as a production by Manson's alter ego Omega, who appears on the sleeve of the second LP.

Two separate single pocket sleeves with their respective catalogue number on the spine. The first sleeve for the opaque white vinyl has a white hype sticker plus an advisory sticker. The second sleeve for the transparent blue vinyl has a red hype sticker.

Each includes a glossy 10"x10" picture/ lyric insert, printed on both sides. Discs held in die cut white paper inners with deeply curved corners.

P.N: As you can see from the pictures, there are two superficial sharpie marks on the shrink of the album, see pic 3 (on the barcode) and pic 11

It doesn’t affect the integrity of the album artwork.

Also, the shrink is cracked on one side (see pic 5), even though is open, the vinyl and the insert have not been removed from the sleeves.

Small ding in the corner of the album to be noticed (pic 9)

I am available for any information or pictures you request; this is a gem and almost impossible to find in this condition,
