Description
Up for auction is my copy of Andy Stott's "Passed Me By". This original pressing is on 2 x Vinyl, 12", 33 ⅓ RPM, 45 RPM. It is an import from the UK. The sleeve (still in shrink) and the vinyl are both in EXCELLENT condition; there is no damage to report. I purchased the album when it came out, played it once to may a digital rip, then put into storage until I took it out to take the pics you see here.
If you have any questions or would like more photos, reach out! This a pristine copy of the electro-iconoclast's first album. Spark something, put it on and absorb the tunes through your pores.
"It's a modest album, just six tracks and a short, introductory sketch-- some 33 minutes in total. It's the tempos that you notice first: his 4/4 thump moves sluggishly, like a 12" 45 spun at 33 or even slower. House and techno usually lope along at somewhere between 120 and 130 beats per minute; Stott paces his tracks at 100, 90, even 80 BPM. Forget "peak-time" club music: these are trough-time beats. And it's not just a question of speed; every sound is warbly and unstable, like a warped record pitched way, way down. Handclaps and hi-hats crumble into bit-crushed detritus; kick drums and bass frequencies turn to a jellied slush, like solid ground liquefies during earthquakes." ---Pitchfork

**I will ship the item wrapped in bubble wrap in a cardboard LP mailer. Unless you specifically contact me to request otherwise, I will ship with the disc outside of the main jacket to protect the seams from damage in transit. I do not currently have access to a turntable, so I must visually grade my records. If you have any questions or would like to see more photos, reach out.
