Up for sale is the seminal debut album of The Avalanches' Since I Left You (2000) reissued on Translucent Blue Vinyl from 2017! Only 5000 of these were pressed worldwide, will you be part of that 5000? A Plunderphonics masterwork, Since I Left You is an album I've listened to countless times through many different versions. Yet, it has always retained the same emotional impact. It will make you groove, thrill you, relax you, perhaps disturb you, but when all is said and done it will leave you craving for another go. An album that certainly has it's highlights (Since I Left You, Frontier Psychiatrist) but is best served in one go and I couldn't imagine this album without A Different Feeling, Electricity, Etoh or A Little Journey... Give 'em all a listen!


Now onto the main description...!

Please take a careful look at the provided photos before making your purchase!
I will try to describe the item to the best of my abilities, please note that I am only human and might make some mistakes in my descriptions. I do NOT put any solid grades on my records visually or sound-wise, if it can be helped, it will be play tested on my turntable and described to the best of my abilities! Visual grading alone is NOT a stand-in for sound quality.
Tested on a Fluance RT-82 with a NAGAOKA-MP110 stylus and Klipsch Reference Speakers.
Contents:
Jacket and Gatefold: Still inside shrink wrap, assumed minimal storage wear. Hype sticker has remained intact.
Inner Sleeve: The original paper sleeves (yuck!) were replaced with a hybrid paper/plastic inner sleeve.

Vinyl: NOTE: All commercial vinyl pressings of Since I Left You contain a re-recorded version of "Frontier Psychiatrist" or lack certain samples, this was not an oversight. Unfortunately, not every sampled song was cleared when it came time to press the record, even later CD/Digital versions suffer from slightly different mixes.
Also keep in mind, some tracks have a crackling/surface noise added into the mix, this is part of the recording and not due to the condition of the disc.

Disc 1: Overall great sound, the only real discernible surface noise occurs only in the run out groove.
Disc 2: As with the first disc, plays through just great.
Overall: Played only a handful of times, this album is in great condition and has been taken care of since it's purchase.

All prospective buyers and vinyl enthusiasts... Keep in mind:

- Be aware of your own setup and know just how well your own collection plays! -Some setups handle certain records better than others! Not all styli, turntables, speakers are the same!
-Cheaper turntables may not handle certain records well, resulting in unwanted skips!
-Sometimes cleaning up a record or replacing/changing your stylus helps with playback!
Please consider these factors before making your purchase! This item is sold as-is! No returns.

Thank you for looking!
