Friday's Top Three! Including A First Issue Bowie, A Megadeth Picture Disc And The Sublime Scott Walker!

DAVID BOWIE The Rise & Fall Of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars

1972 UK 11-track LP, with 'Titantic/Chrysalis' credits on the labels. This first issue pre-dates the Mainman contract and as such has no reference to Mainman anywhere on the sleeve or record. The picture sleeve shows only light signs of storage wear and is otherwise excellent, with lyric inner. The vinyl is clean and shows just a couple of light marks which have little to no effect onplay - very nice!

 

MEGADETH Rust In Peace

1990 UK limited edition 9-track vinyl LP Picture Disc which features the superb album artwork on one side with band pictures on the other, plus picture insert.

 

 

SCOTT WALKER Scott

Classic 1967 UK 12-track stereo LP on the black and silver Philips, the first album to really see Scott break free of the 'pop' tag, including several magnificent Jacques Brel cover songs. The picture sleeve is fully laminatedand shows none of its age. The vinyl is clean and shows only the lightest cosmetic mark one side which does not affect play. A beautiful example!

Issue 407 hits the shops today, with an impossibly youthful Johnny Rotten on the cover, plus a redheaded version of Joe Strummer, Howard Devoto wearing an anarchy symbol on his sleeve and Dave Vanian looking distinctly hairy. Yes, it’s our The Birth Of Punk feature, with Cindy Stern’s previously unseen photographs revealing the bands as they were before Ver Man came along and ruined everything (as ever). These pics really are stunning, as raw as a lion’s lunch, and full of the excitement of their era. Plus: Rod Stewart’s young stud era reappraised; the Hallowe’en nightmares of Horror Rock; Panther Burns’ crazed career; the konkluding portion of our Kinks khronikle; tales of Dave Stewart (more rock’n’roll than you reckon, I’ll wager); the story of The Housemartins, and reviews, Q&As and memories of Jethro Tull, Zappa, Black Widow, King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Velvet Underground and, uh, Samantha Fox – yes, I’ve got all her records. Well, ok, one of them. And it’s been some time since I saw it. RC, November, it’s big, upfront and naturally buxom.

Last week I went to south west Wales. And it was good. Enjoyed a visit to the thriving Tangled Parrot records in Carmarthen, venue – record shop, pub, café… could be the way forward. While there, I was amused to buy a 7” of this. (There was a reggae singer called Dicky Burton; maybe it was the thesp Richard all along.) Not far away, in the astonishingly handsome indoor market, is Slipped Disc, where I was surprised to see an immaculate Creary Sisters album on High Note for about the price of a snooty sandwich in the Smoke (although I didn’t buy it, having previously spent all my dosh on panda milk smoothies from a chi-chi little café in St John’s Wood, darling). Earlier in the week I’d had a nose around in Dales in Tenby, a small but interesting shop that sells guitars, memorabilia, etc, alongside a modest but juidiciously-chosen stock of vinyl and CDs; and The Malthouse antiques centre in Narberth is worth a look; upstairs is a room with vinyl, retro cabinets and record cases, and a nice blue Dansette that was tempting. Back in Carmarthen, I forgot the posh nosh and was lucky enough to wander into Morgan’s Traditional Chippy. Like The Byrds, I’ll be doing this.

That’s enough rambling on about my rambling. Thank you for reading and thank you for supporting RC. Have a great week.

Best,

Ian

Thursday's Top Three! Including A Multi-Platinum Queen Award, A RARE Autographed Danzig LP And An UNCUT Paul McCartney Picture Disc!

QUEEN Made In Heaven

1996 official BPI certified Multi-Platinum presentation award disc for UK sales in excess of 1.2 million copies of the Parlophone album. Measuring approximately 34" x 24" in size, the elaborate presentation features a supersize Freddie Mercury silhouette image above 4 mounted discs, each disc representing platinum status sales of 300,000, along with the BPI Certified presentation plaque. A truly fabulous award.

 

 

DANZIG Danzig 4

Very Rare 1994 US first pressing 12-track vinyl LP, with embossed gatefold picture sleeve, that has been AUTOGRAPHED on the inside of the sleeve in black marker pen by none other than Glenn Danzig himself! A fine body of Danzig's workas it is, featuring some of his most dark and brooding moments such as Brand New God, Dominion, and Son Of The Morning Star. Sleeve does show some minor wear, but the autograph is unblemished on the inside, and the vinyl itself is in spectacular NEAR MINT condition. Glenn Danzig is sometimes known to be an intensely private individual, so having something autographed by the king of horror punk will make a great collectors item to anyone who is a fan of Danzig!

 

PAUL MCCARTNEY Dance Tonight

Rare *UNCUT* picture disc for the 2007 UK limited edition shaped vinyl single. This incredible rarity has not been cut to the finished shape and retains a clear vinyl surround around the actual image, measuring 12" in diameter. Uncut picture discs are essentially test pressings, used to check the pressing quality and image alignment in advance of the final run. They are hugely collectable; some of the rarest titles fetch many hundreds of £s - a gem!

Please Please Me Black & Gold - it's here, now, at 991.com

A big drum roll please...

We've picked up a rare original UK 1963 STEREO vinyl LP on the legendary black & gold Parlophone label. This is the very first pressing with Dick James Music credits for Please Please Me, I Saw Her Standing There, Misery & Do You Want To Know A Secret. Housed in the original Ernest J. Day & Co. laminated flipback picture sleeve with correct far-right aligned Angus McBean photo credit, and complete with original Emitex inner.

CONDITION

The all-important black and gold Parlophone labels are in superb condition. There's no writing or other blemishes, the gold text is striking and clearly legible with no fading. The spindle is clean with no evidence of wear and shows very little sign of use. As previously stated this is the first pressing with Dick James Mus. Co. credit for Please Please Me, Misery, I Saw Her Standing There & Do You Want To Know A Secret. The machine stamped matrix numbers and stampers in the dead vinyl confirm that this was one of the first pressed as both sides end -1. The matrix numbers are as follows:

Side One YEX 94-1  G 1
Side Two YEX 95-1  R 1

The embossed M Z & T tax code is stamped around the centre of the Side Two label.

The vinyl is in EX- condition and free from any significant marks or blemishes with only mild hairline marks preventing a higher grade.

Audibly, this is a wonderful sounding record. Upon play-grading the record the clarity and volume remains impressive, just like a 60s pressing should. There is a minor jump during the fade-out right at the end of Chains (Side 1, Track 4) and into the near silent linking groove. Boys (Side 1, Track 5) starts cleanly. This record is comfortably in the top percentage of Excellent grade examples.
   
Housed in the period correct, original "Use Emitex" poly-lined inner with PATENTS APPLIED FOR and MADE IN ENGLAND text.

The heavyweight front laminated, flipback picture sleeve with large block STEREO logo on the front states 'Printed and Made by Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. London' and shows both PMC 1202 and PCS 3042 catalogue numbers on the bottom flipback.  The front image retains a shiny gloss and the laminate remains wonderfully intact. There is paper loss evident at the bottom left corner, and minor wear at the top and bottom right corners. The left side of the bottom flipback has been repaired at some stage and is the only real blemish on an otherwise Excellent example. The spine print is clearly legible and there are no splits in any of the seams.  The top-left back cover has a price sticker attached showing £1.12 - this record was purchased from its original owner who bought it new and it's believed this price sticker is original!

This legendary album rarely surfaces in anything other than tatty condition. It's a pleasure to offer one that is truly Excellent, made all the more remarkable considering it's almost 50 years old.

Wednesday's Top Three! Including A Prog-Rock Classic From Pavlov's Dog, Goooooooddddddzzzziiiilllllaaaaaa And The Beatles In Mint Condition!

PAVLOV'S DOG Pampered Menial

1975 1st issue UK sunburst label 9-track vinyl LP with A1/B1 matrices, picture sleeve in superb shape showing very few signs of storage to reveal its age, the vinyl remains mint! A fine copy of a lesser known symphonic prog-rock classic!

 

 

VARIOUS The Best Of Godzilla 1984-1995

1998 UK limited edition Simply Vinyl audiophile double LP pressed on 125g Virgin vinyl, housed in a heavy quality card picture sleeve. This copy is still in the original open stickered shrink so thesleeve shows very little signs of age, the vinyl is also in an outstanding condition, overall a near mint copy.

1979 UK issue of the 1967 stereo 13-track LP on the two boxed EMI logo label with 'EMI Records' perimeter text, fully laminated gatefold picture sleeve with intact cut-out sheet. The sleeve showsbarely any signs of age and the vinyl itself is in spectacular near mint condition!

Some of the Finest Death Metal of all Time

Death metal is a genre that is either mocked by some other areas of the metal scene, or seen as "just noise" by anyone who does not understand the genre. For thos unfamiliar, Death metal combines fast intricate guitar playing, with blast beat drumming, and low end guttural vocals. There are variations of this where elements of melody have been added, Thrash Metal, and in some cases, almost Jazz-like time signatures, which would later be taken to the next level by the Djent scene of bands. Lyrical themes and artwork usually were based around violence, religion, and horror, often with more of a positive message than is seen on the surface, and was never intended to influence, more just used as a release of anger.

 

Any negative views that come with Death Metal should be pushed aside, as we recently acquired a fantastic collection of rare and sought after Death Metal and related genres. Below are some essential purchases that if you are new to the genre, are must haves for your collection,

 

DEATH Individual Thought Patterns - Very Rare 1993 Uk 10-track vinyl LP, with picture sleeve, and lyric inner. The fifth album from one of the most influential death metal acts of all time. Carrying on from their album Human, by incorporating elements of free jazz into their sound which added much more technicality to their signature death metal sound. This would go on to influence an entire generation of progressive metal acts. Includes fantastic pieces such as In Human Form, Trapped In A Corner, and Out Of touch 

                                                                                                                                                 

CANNIBAL CORPSE The Bleeding - Very Rare 1994 UK 10-track vinyl LP, with the original censored picture sleeve which was uncensored on the later remastered version, and was a rare turn of course for Cannibal Corpse who usually had horrifically graphic artwork. Although this sleeve was pretty tame for them, the music itself was more ferocious and visceral than ever, and remains one of Cannibal Corpse's finest moments to date. Cannibal Corpse are the biggest selling US Death metal band of all time with album sales shifting well over the 1 million mark, which is a massive achievement for a band that have almost no commercial backing, and their work is nothing short of genius. Essential listening!

 

SEPULTURA Schizophrenia - Rare 1987 10-track vinyl LP, with picture sleeve and lyric/picture inner. The second full length from arguably the best metal band to come out of Brazil, and was the first to feature newly recruited Andreas Kisser on guitar, who bought a more Thrash metal sound to the band as before this they were heavily influenced by Death metal. This was the album that saw them sign to Roadrunner, who signed the band before they had even seen them play live! Includes such classic tracks as From The Past Comes The Storm, and Troops Of Doom

 

We also have some items back in stock from the more commercial end of the Thrash Metal genre from heavyweights such as Slayer, Testament, Napalm Death and Judas Priest, so head to 991.com to browse our entire catalogue

Frank Zappa's Roxy & Elsewhere DVD set for a 2013 release

As Gibson report, “It's been a long wait, but it looks like Frank Zappa fans are finally about to get their hands on something they've waited four decades for.”

Frank Zappa played three legendary shows at the Roxy Theatre on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood on 8-10 December 1973, which formed the basis for the classic Roxy & Elsewhere live disc.

The Zappa Family Trust revealed they have identified all of the audio and video recordings of this famous run of shows and are to deliver a concert film in theatres, DVD and on Blu-Ray some time before Roxy’s 40th Anniversary of December next year, along with a new live album which Gail Zappa has described as "75 minutes and 49 seconds of Roxy without the Elsewhere."

Tuesday's Top Three! Stop The Press - We Have A One-Of-A-Kind Pair Of Morrissey Acetates, A Kraftwerk Uber-Cool (And Brand New) Book And An Autographed Megadeth Tour Programme!

MORRISSEY Viva Hate

Super rare one-of-a-kind US pair of 1-sided LP acetates, cut at K-disc Mastering Studios on Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, CA. on 25th January 1988, almost two months before its official release. Unlike the final release NorthAmerican version this acetate does NOT include Hairdresser On Fire, sticking with the original international configuration featuring The Ordinary Boys. Another interesting anomaly is that the Side 2 label states alternative timings of Dial A Cliche (shown at 2:15) and Margaret On The Guillotine (shown at 3:53), however these versions do not appear to be different to those finally released. Both acetates remain in near mint condition, with unblemished crystal-clear label print, housed in the original K-disc Mastering studio sleeve. A stunning rarity of Morrissey's highly-acclaimed debut solo release and not something you're ever likely to see again!
