Cesaro Summability - Promotional Picture Disc in support of Aenima. Gorgeous artwork by Ramiro Rodriguez, which features, "Pneuma I," on Side A, and, "Almus," on Side B. Sacred geometry overlays the beautiful artwork on both sides A & B.
This is limited to 5,000 copies. This limited edition picture disc does not come up for auction frequently - the last one popped up nearly 2½ months ago. This is a 20-year old item, and most folks lucky enough to snag one are hanging on to them!
I am absolutely loathe to part with this album. But life sucks sometimes, and one has to do what one has to do. This item has been faithfully stored in a custom-cut archival polyester (otherwise known by the now-defunct tradename Mylar) envelope style jacket provided by conservationresources com or CR for short. The album lays atop a custom-cut MicroChamber board for pro-active archival storage - MicroChamber also provided by CR. MicroChamber board is acid-free, lignin-free with a calcium buffered clay zeolite matrix. I hold certain vinyl sacrosanct, and I do my best to maintain them for posterity. The music from Aenima has left an indelible positive print on my soul - so you bet yer ass I am going to give it the respect that it warrants.
I learned of CR when researching archival thresholds / standards as prescribed by the Library of Congress (LOC). The LOC listed CR, in addition to a host of other companies, as a supplier of archival products. I highly suggest checking out CR if any vinyl nut such as myself wishes to preserve music their as best as possible - especially music that has touched your life and will be with you for the long haul.
I am the only owner. I got this from a buddy who worked in the local indie record store back in 1996 (or early '97... truthfully, I cannot recall). Item has never been played. Again, it has been stored in LOC-approved custom-manufactured archival materials. Pet-free, smoke-free household. As this item has never been played, I would rate this, from a visual standpoint, somewhere between NM- and EX) regarding appearance.
There is an odd speck or two on outermost ring on side a, however, I can't tell if it is part of the art or something else. Whatever it might be, it would not affect play. Then again, Picture Discs aren't really intended to have amazing audio fidelity (historically speaking)
Please ask questions, and examine the photos for yourself to determine the grade of this item. Bear in mind that this is a 20+ year old Picture Disc that has never been played. I would assign a visual grade of NM- ; or, to be conservative, I might drop the grade down to the next value of EX. Basically somewhere within the range of NM- & EX.
Again, please carefully examine the photos for yourself. Ask for more photos, I am more than happy to oblige!
I do not offer refunds on items I sell, so please please please examine the pictures well, and feel free to contact me with any and all questions. I will post more pictures, and answer every conceivable question that you can throw at me.
***I will include the 10-inch "Medicine Twins" promotional picture disc for Aenima***
