Description

This is from my personal collection and has been in my possession since the late 1990's.  It's not been played for decades, until recently, when I dug it out after hearing that it had recently been re-released on vinyl.  It's been stored in a wooden blanket box for most of this time.


According to the Discogs website, the key identifier for this version (second version down under 'notes') is the location of the R&S Records logo on the back of the sleeve:


https://www.discogs.com/Aphex-Twin-Selected-Ambient-Works-85-92/release/13314830


This suggests that it's an 'early pressing, possibly part of the first batch'.


The runout codes are correct for this version; those being:


Side A: AMB LP A2

Side B: AMB LP 3922 B2

Side C: AMB LP C2

Side D: AMB LP 3902- D2


I've used the Goldmine Grading Guide to grade it as VG+/VG+.  The records have light surface scratches and occasional light surface noise.  The sleeve shows some signs of wear, but the seams are intact.  Of note, the left hand top corner is worn through to the cardboard, part of the white surface is missing where the price sticker was removed and there is a ring mark of the impression of the LP's on the front and partially on the back.


The inner sleeves are creased in places and the bottom seam on one of them has worn through.


Item will be posted in a polythene sleeve, inside a cardboard sleeve with a cardboard stiffener.


I hope that the images are good enough.  Unfortunately, the downlighters in my house cast a shadow over everything!
