Description Lot of 2 rare XTC LPs.The Vinyl is VISUALLY Graded on all sides:ALL sides look near-mint and look VERY CLEAN,and possibly unplayed, though we did spot-checkDisc 2, A-side, Track 1 of the 2nd Album:"We're All Light" because there's a light cosmeticsurface scuff across the first half of the song, but it's completely inaudible.Clean labels on all records in this lot.No obvious spindle marks on any labels.Excellent condition original custom innersleeves included,and they're all in VG++ condition with some minor compression,and very minor soft creasing in a few spots.The spine and seams are intact on all sleeves.Jackets are also in VG++ "Excellent" condition,with only a minor crease on the spine of the second LP:you can see a close-up in our embedded picasaweb image gallery,scroll down below the tracklisting and credits.Vinyl is THICK AND HEAVY!The first album comes with a small XTC postcard:image is in the gallery.In order to prevent any crushing of the spines, and to prevent seam-splitting in transit, or added compression,the empty innersleeves are inside their respective jackets,and the vinyl is inside plain paper sleeves, in turn placedin generic plain jackets, and 2 of the 3 are sandwiched insidethe gatefold jacket to keep the spine intact. In addition, we're using EXTRA filler stiffener pads to protect the corners from bending or damage in transit, and the outer LPbox will be tightly taped to insure as much protection;The shipping weight will be higher as a result: just under 4 pounds. 1) Apple Venus Volume 1Cooking Vinyl COOK 172 Tracklist:A1 River Of Orchids A2 I'd Like That A3 Easter TheatreTrumpet Solo: Steve SidwellA4 Knights In Shining Karma A5 Frivolous Tonight B1 Greenman B2 Your Dictionary B3 Fruit Nut B4 I Can't Own Her B5 Harvest Festival B6 The Last BalloonTrumpet, Flugelhorn Solo: Guy Barker Mastered at: Metropolis MasteringMastered by: Tim Young Orchestral Arrangements: Mike Batt (tracks: B1, B4)Drums: Prairie PrinceRecording engineers: Alan Douglas, Barry HammondLeader Orchestra: Gavin Wright Mixed by (Assistant): Simon DawsonOrchestra: the London Session OrchestraPhotography: Valerie PhillipsPiano, Keyboards, Guitar, Backing Vocals: Dave GregoryAdditional Production, Additional Engineering, Additional Mixing, AND Extra Keyboards: Nick DavisProducer, Engineer, Extra Keyboards: Haydn BendallVocals, Bass: Colin MouldingVocals, Guitar: Andy PartridgeWritten by: Andy Partridge (tracks: A1 to A4, B1, B2, B4 to B6)and Colin Moulding (tracks: A5, B3) 2) Wasp Star (Apple Venus Volume 2)Cooking Vinyl COOK 194 Tracklist:A1 Playground 4:17Backing Vocals: Holly PartridgeA2 Stupidly Happy 4:13 A3 In Another Life 3:35 B1 My Brown Guitar 3:51 B2 Boarded Up 3:23 B3 I'm The Man Who Murdered Love 3:44 C1 We're All Light 4:39 C2 Standing In For Joe 3:42 C3 Wounded Horse 4:11 D1 You And The Clouds Will Still Be Beautiful 4:18 D2 Church Of Women 5:06 D3 The Wheel And The Maypole 5:55 Cello: Caroline DaleDrums: Chuck Sabo (tracks: A1, B3 to D2), Drums: Prairie Prince (tracks: A2 to B1, D3)Flugelhorn: Simon GardnerOboe: Kate St JohnProducer, Mixed by, Keyboards: Nick DavisProgrammed by: Matt VaughnViola: Peter Lale1st Violin: Gavin Wright2ti Violin: Patrick KiernanVocals, Bass: Colin MouldingVocals, Guitar: Andy Partridge We ship to all countries and all locations, without any exceptions:You can contact us by phone at 718-894-3310 or via Facetime at 516-945-7705 if you have any questions about this item.We also buy old records or record collections, especially by non-commercial, non-"hitmaking" artists.
