VERY LIMITED U.K. JACK WHITE PROJECT!

ONLY 999 PRODUCED!

NEW & UNPLAYED!

A rare opportunity to bid for this sought-after recording in the desirable vinyl package! Complete with signed art print, a pack of artwork cards and

the original XL paperwork! I bought it new direct from XL at the time of release and it's been safely stored ever since!

Sleeve: Black card with a front image of two white rings, the outer ring having eight white circles, the inner, two. In the centre are fourteen white and

thirteen red circles. In the top-lefthand corner is a small sticker marked 'Al', the chemical symbol for aluminium. It is also stamped in red 'no. 0169 of 999'.

The rear is plain black, except for the XL logo shown as black text in a red box, bookended with the phases of the Moon in white and red. The sleeve is

intact with no tears, splits, repairs, additional stickers, wear or writing! Exactly as it left XL and housed in a thick polybag! NB: The title on the spine is shown

as 'ALUMIIINIUM'.

See below for details of postage costs for this item. 

This is just one item from my own extensive and eclectic personal collection of music and related bits and pieces which I will be listing over the next few months, or so.

I have been collecting for more than 30 years, so check back regularly to see what other gems I may have unearthed - they won't be listed in any particular order! My

recent absence from eBay has been because of work commitments but, as they seem to have dried up, I will be spending more time disposing of my collection!

I am not a dealer, so won't use traditional grading terms but, instead, will describe each item as carefully and honestly as I can with text and photos. Bidders are then free

to form their own opinions. Any apparent marks showing in the photos are reflections or dust, etc., unless otherwise specifically identified. If in doubt, please contact me

with any queries before bidding and I will get back to you promptly with an answer. I will also keep you informed throughout the whole ebay process.

All vinyl will be packaged in sturdy cardboard mailers with at least one stiffener and will be despatched within 2 working days of payment being received. PayPal is preferred,

but please contact me before bidding to discuss alternative, acceptable methods. Postage rates: UK Standard - 2nd Class £3.10, Europe/R.O.T.W - AirMail Standard

£7.00/£11.50.

Please note that I do not combine postage. All items are packaged and sent individually, so as to minimise damage and/or loss.

Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!
