The vinyl has existed for a quarter of a century! It's now 25 years old, was owned by the boss, maybe played two times. We'll call the vinyl EX, but it's better. The cover has a couple of corner/edge dings, and there's a half inch beginning of a seam split, but nothing to make it less than EX condition, and like the vinyl, is probably better/higher.
We grade conservatively, so it should look or play better than you expect it to.

These were made in relatively limited amounts, which is why you don't see them very often, and why they go for embarrassing amounts of money (see the link above). Plus, it's 25 years old, contains lots of artists worshipped like gods, and is in beautiful shape.

Dorothy was a one-off with one of the Rema-Rema folks (related to Adam Ant / Adam and the Ants and others) & a Psychic TV guy.
Monte Cazazza has collaborated with FACTRIX.

Throbbing Gristle are a British industrial music and visual arts group that evolved from the performance art group COUM Transmissions. The band consists of Genesis P-Orridge (bass, violin, vocals), Cosey Fanni Tutti (guitars, cornet), Peter Christopherson (aka "Sleazy") (tapes, found sounds, horns), and Chris Carter (synthesizer).

See the photo(s). Sorry about my hand in the shots, (if it is), but I try to NEVER LAY THE VINYL DOWN ON ANYTHING, unlike lots of sellers, who FREAKIN' lay records down on tables and things to photograph them! We give them all the very clean hand or WHITE GLOVE TREATMENT, as you see in the photos, and take the pics with someone holding the vinyl in the air, never touching it, pulling it carefully from its sleeve. Whatever we sell you is going to be in the best shape possible. We're all collectors and know that other collectors appreciate the extra mile. I mean, there may be a smoker in the building, but he doesn't blow it into the records, and we handle them as if they might explode! (Although they won't, postal person, we promise)

And as I said before, we like to grade conservatively, so you end up being happy with what you get. It's like a surprise! And we start auctions low so you could end up winning a rare collectible for next to nothing. Good luck!

This is a vinyl record, NOT A CD. You play it on a turntable. That's an arcane device that spins plastic around and around at a constant speed and a diamond on the end of a stick scrapes at it and makes noise that you hopefully enjoy.

Have a good time bidding. Maybe you can get it for a steal. Good luck. Hopefully you'll get it for a good price. If you have any questions, fire 'em at us!

If you buy up to two items, the postage stays the same. Over that, we tack on a dollar for each item. Unless we're feeling rich on that particular day.

We will ship this ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

ORDERS OVERSEAS, ESPECIALLY TO EUROPE (AND ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY GERMANY) ARE SOMETIMES TAKING A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF TIME. SOME VINYL IS TAKING UP TO A MONTH TO ARRIVE. IF YOU CAN TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT AS A POSSIBILITY, GO AHEAD AND BID. IF, ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU ARE IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY AND ARE NOT PREPARED TO WAIT FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, PLEASE DO NOT BID. And I don't mean that in an angry way, I mean it in a "we keep getting people in Germany and other countries overseas sending us angry letters 2 weeks after the auction ends, or starting a dispute over a record that is simply slow in reaching them because of the international overseas mail service. So what I'm saying is this: if you're not feeling patient, please don't take it out on us if the record doesn't arrive quickly. We'll gladly take out insurance, or give you a tracking number, or whatever you want if you feel like paying extra to ensure that your record doesn't get lost. But if you just pay the basic postage and your record doesn't get there for 4 weeks, don't shoot the messenger.
