HAPPY BIDDING !!!
YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE NOW LEGENDARY VINYL LP BY DURUTTI COLUMN.
THE RETURN OF DURUTTI COLUMN, FACT 14.
THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST PRESSINGS AND IT ACTUALLY BELONGED TO A GRAPHIC DESIGNER WHO WORKED BRIEFLY FOR FACTORY IN THE LATE 70'S.
THE SLEEVE IS IN MINT CONDITION WITH NO RIPS TEARS OR SPLIT SEAMS. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN KEPT IN A STRONG PLASTIC SLEEVE SINCE IT WAS MANUFACTURED, AND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THE VINYL HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED, CERTAINLY SHOWS NO SIGNS OF SPINDLE MARKS.
IT ALSO COMES WITH THE FLEXI THAT WAS GIVEN AWAY WITH EARLY COPIES OF THE RELEASE, THE FACT 14C LYNTONE 2 TRACK FLEXI DISC, WHICH IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS ITEM, THEN YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW HOW RARE THIS ITEM IS, AND IN MINT CONDITION, IT IS EXTREMELY RARE.
MORE INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND ON BOTH ITEMS ON THE IN DEPTH FACTORY WEBSITE
WWW.CERYSMATICFACTORY.
HERE IS A BRIEF EXCERPT OF WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY REGARDING THE ABOVE RELEASE:
-
The first album by The Durutti Column originally came in the now legendary 'sandpaper sleeve'. This was a nod to situationism whereby keeping the record in your collection would physically damage your other records. Of course, the record could be fitted into an outer plastic sleeve and your other records would be safe. Sandpaper sleeve copies also came with a bonus flexidisc (by flexidisc kings Lyntone) Fact 14c entitled 'Testcard' and featuring two tracks written by Martin Hannett.
IT IS BELIEVED THAT MOST OF THE SANDPAPER SLEEVES WERE ACTUALLY HAND GLUED AND PASTED BY MEMBERS OF JOY DIVISION, AS THEY WERE PAID BY TONY WILSON FOR EACH COPY THAT THEY FINISHED, IAN CURTIS DOING THE MOST OF THEM, AS HE NEEDED THE MONEY!!
THERE IS A LOW RESERVE ON THIS ITEM, AS I BELIEVE, IT IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, BOTH THE SLEEVE OF THE RECORD AND ALSO THE VINYL.
THE RECORD WILL BE SENT VIA NEXT DAY SPECIAL DELIVERY, ON RECEIPT OF PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO END THE AUCTION EARLY , AS IT WILL BE ALLOWED TO RUN FOR THE 10 DAYS!!
