Pinback – Blue Screen Life
Original 2003 2xLP Gatefold Vinyl (Ace Fu Records, ace 015) – Rare Authentic First Pressing!
Up for auction: My well-cared-for copy of Pinback's classic sophomore album Blue Screen Life on vinyl. This is the highly sought-after original black vinyl pressing from Ace Fu Records (not the 2016 Record Store Day colored/splatter reissue). A cornerstone of early-2000s indie/post-rock with standout tracks like "Offline P.K.," "Penelope," "Concrete Seconds," "Prog," "Seville," and more. Originals are increasingly hard to find—Discogs medians run $105–$193, with clean copies selling $200–$280+ due to no standard repress in years and strong fan demand (Reddit threads full of people hunting these).
Confirmed Original Details (from photos):
Ace Fu catalog "ace 015" etched in runouts
Signature "THIS IS ANOTHER PINBACK LP" handwritten-style phrase on all side labels (with quirky doodles/stick figures – classic Rob Crow/Ace Fu charm)
Matching barcode (6 60673 00515 5) and © 2001/Made in USA on back cover
Full gatefold inner sleeve with elaborate collage artwork, vintage photos, and printed lyrics
Condition:
Records (black vinyl, 2 discs): Very Good (VG) to VG+ — Play-tested with no skips, pops, or distortion. Light surface marks/hairlines from normal play/storage (typical for 20+ years), but glossy shine intact and grooves clean overall. Sounds excellent.
Gatefold Sleeve: Very Good (VG) — Minor edge/corner wear, light ring wear or surface scuffs on gloss, but artwork vibrant, spine strong, no seam splits, writing, or major creases. Inner gatefold collage.
Labels: Pristine – no peeling or heavy wear.
Packed securely for shipping: Records removed from jacket, in sturdy LP mailer with cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrap. Tracking provided.
Bidding starts super low at $90 to get things moving fast—limited 5-day auction window. Or secure it immediately with Buy It Now for $275. Perfect for Pinback collectors chasing the real original wax experience.
