Big Big Train - English Electric Part Two
Copy number 008/500, sealed double heavyweight 12" vinyl, this album contains all tracks from the CD release plus The tracks found on the "Make Some Noise" EP. Hand on heart, there are just A handful of copies of the album remaining here, plus five test pressings and that's it. All of these copies are interesting in one way or another but this one is unusually special.
As many of you know we did a limited edition of 500 numbered copies (which took me forever to sort into numerical order) - I always aim to give the band the lowest copy numbers (don't even keep 001 for myself!), so in this case copy 007/500 should have been the lowest available number for both Part One and Part Two. It just so happened that one of the band preferred to have number 007, but while copy 005 of Part One remains, I had to send out that numbered copy of Part Two when I ran out of stock about 6 months ago.
There are two auctions running today, both for copy 008/500, the other auction will be for English Electric Part One so you have the opportunity to acquire a matching pair if you so desire. This copy is still shrinkwrapped as it arrived from the factory. I'm going to start the auctions at 99p each - someone might get a bargain!
As with all things Plane Groovy, 50% of the proceeds go to the band, the other 50% will be used to fund upcoming releases. Once the auction has ended the winner is welcome to collect in person if they prefer, paying cash and thus avoiding any shipping fees. Please check my listings for the copy of EE Part One; if I have time today you may well find some other very interesting items there as well.
The very best of luck to all.
