ARTIST : ALBERT AYLER

TITLE : BELLS

LABEL & CATALOG NUMBER : ESP-DISK / 1010

FORMAT : ONE-SIDED LP 

COVER CONDITION : EX very thick clear plastic cover, with artwork HAND PAINTED in white enamel, with plain bright green inner sleeve. the green inner has some seam splits.

VINYL CONDITION : VG++ clear disc with no printing or labels at all. some minor surface marks only, plays great with crisp fidelity, just some minor surface noise like all copies.

NOTES : extremely rare & likely one-of-a-kind variation, possibly a prototype, and seemingly undocumented. this is an original stereo pressing with a cool heavy weight clear plastic cover, with the artwork HAND PAINTED in white enamel on the plastic cover. it looks exactly like the well known printed cover image, which was screen printed on early copies. on this copy if you look closely it is here obviously painted, not printed, with clear brush strokes visible. the clear vinyl disc itself is entirely blank with no printing or labels at all. inner sleeve is blank neon green. all together a very cool looking & super obscure variation. we've never seen or heard of another copy like this one. if you have, please let us know… there are a huge number of variations with this release, so we've decided to offer up a handful of the rarest & most unique copies from this collection, with more to come.

DOMESTIC BUYERS will receive FREE FULLY INSURED PRIORITY SHIPPING on this item, packed with utmost care. for OVERSEAS BUYERS insured, tracked shipping will be required but offered at a discount. please inquire with any questions.
