GUIDED BY VOICES - FOREVER SINCE BREAKFAST 12" EP (I Wanna, 1986)
Only 500 ever printed up! This is the first ever Guided By Voices recording. Seriously. Not only that but Robert Pollard saw fit to autograph it back in the day (see photograph below)! This really is the motherlode! Super-rare! Collectible! …and some damn fine music too.
I can still clearly remember the circumstances that led up to the acquisition of this album – and that of its companions. It was at CBGBs, New Music Seminar 1993, NYC. I’d just finished watching Guided By Voices on stage, in the company of about 15 other people – and was blown away by their sheer energy, and naïve enthusiasm for pop music. I loved the tunes. I have a very clear mental picture of Robert kicking his leg out, even now.
Afterwards I went to say hello where Mr Pollard was attempting to sell his wares at the front of house, by some rails right opposite the bar. I introduced myself, and told him I loved his band and wanted to interview them. He was overwhelmed: “I’ve waited 10 years to do an interview!” he exclaimed – and insisted on pressing into my hands a copy of EVERY single limited edition album he had on him, plus a whole bunch of handmade T-shirts. (I think I have them somewhere, if anyone’s interested.)
The interview itself the next day – in a bar round the corner from the Gramercy Park Hotel – was an absolute riot.
I will ship anywhere in the world by first class post or airmail (see price list elsewhere). This will take about 7-10 days. If you need faster shipping, please email me and I will inform you the extra cost. The same goes for insurance. Vinyl will be packaged with love and attention.
For these GbV sales, I can only accept Paypal payment from your Paypal Account Balance or Instant Transfers. I can’t accept Paypal payment through credit card.
I am selling off a load of other early, limited edition Guided By Voices LPs. Please check my other auction listings.
…and finally. I know I’m new to eBay, but you can check my sales on amazon.co.uk (ramonesfan79) for buyer satisfaction... Cheers.
