Description
I think one great line of vinyl collecting is when initial issues of LP covers are changed due to complaints from record company executives, from censors, or from the buying public.
Remember the Beatles “Butcher Cover” and the Mamas & Papas “Toilet” Cover? Or how about the Dave Clark Five “No-Instruments” Cover or Blind Faith’s “Topless Girl” Cover? And don’t forget Three Dog Night’s “Nude” Cover and their “Birthing” Cover. Replacement covers were issued for all of these original covers.
Here in this auction you can win Roxy Music’s original cover for their “Country Life” LP as well as the replacement cover for. So in this auction are 2 LPs (Vinyl & Covers):
LP#1:
· “COUNTRY LIFE” by Roxy Music
· This LP was released by ATCO Records.
· This is ATCO SD 36-106.
· It was released in 1975.
· This ORIGINAL COVER has 2 women in their underwear (semi-nude). It was found to be objectionable for obvious reasons. The ladies are standing in front of bushes or a hedge.
· On the replacement cover, the ladies are gone but the bushes or hedge remain!!
· The ORIGINAL COVER is GRADED NEAR MINT. It is STILL in its ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP. The shrink wrap has a very small tear on the top edge above the “Y” in “ROXY”. There is just slight wear on the top and bottom corners of the cover at the opening. For sure, the shrink wrap has protected the cover images well for more than 40 years!
· The VINYL that comes with the Original Cover is also graded NEAR MINT with just a few very light surface paper scuffs.
· This LP also comes with its original custom inner sleeve with song lyrics. This inner sleeve has NO SPLITS.
LP#2:
· “COUNTRY LIFE” by Roxy Music
· This LP was released by ATCO Records .
· This is ATCO SD 36-106.
· It was released in 1975.
· On this REPLACEMENT COVER, the ladies in their underwear are gone but the bushes or hedge remains!!
· The REPLACEMENT COVER is GRADED NICE VG+ CONDITION with very light wear. The corners have light wear with a very small corner push on one corner.
· The VINYL for this cover is in NEAR MINT CONDITION.
· This LP also comes with its original custom inner sleeve with song lyrics. This custom inner sleeve had 2-inch splits on 2 sides.
So, in this auction, you get both the original and replacement covers. These 2 LPs go hand-in-hand and would look great framed in someone’s “vinyl room”!
FYI, I use Goldmine Grading Standards (G for Good, VG for Very Good, VG+ for Very Good Plus, NM for Near Mint, M for Mint) to VISUALLY grade these LPs, so please know the descriptions of these grades before bidding.
