Description
This album was originally pressed in a limited edition of 500, and, as put on the Constellation website: "with LP jackets hand made by the label, the band, and various local artisans." I acquired 4 copies of this original pressing at the Hotel2Tango in 1997.
There are numerous differences between this NUMBERED pressing and later "handmade reissues":
The original pressings had a variety of different crumpled handbills from various godspeed gigs.
The quality of the photo on the front cover is significantly better on the original pressing.
The quality of the identifying sticker on the outer sleeve seems "cheaper" on the original pressing (like matte scotch tape).
And, of course, the hand-numbered limited edition! This is number 271 of 500.
Experts can probably enumerate other differences.
The record is in dead mint condition and has never been played. All the goodies are here and intact.
Please don't hesitate to contact with any questions! Shipping and handling is $12 in the USA and Canada. International bidders will pay ACTUAL shipping costs, calculated after winning the auction.
There's no reserve, and the opening bid is conservative, so this is a good opportunity to pick this up. Apparantly, this record is required material for those starting college this fall.
I'm getting rid of some excess stuff to fund some equipment for my home studio, so PLEASE check out my other auctions. I'll happily combine shipping!
