Description

This is one that pains me; Up for sale is a great VG++ copy of the amazing Spacemen 3 album entitled "Playing with Fire". This is a VERY GOOD DEAL on an amazing, super-rare LP in great condition! This particular copy of the LP is actually NM on both playing surfaces, but due to a slight, non-play-effecting edge-chip I'm marking it down to VG+ (*sigh*). See the picture of the chip for specifics. The cover is a strong VG+, with no torn edges or corner wear, however it has some brown discoloration at a few tiny spots across the front. These appear to be just from the age of the LP. See pictures for more details including the original import price tag still on cover.


Playing with Fire is the penultimate studio album by Spacemen 3, released in February 1989. This is the original release on vinyl from the UK. The album was featured in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. In a similar musical borrowing to those on the band's prior albums, the song "Revolution" bears more than a passing resemblance to "Black to Comm" by the MC5.
