Description
David Bowie Excerpts From Outside Limited Edition Coloured Vinyl 390/500 : MINT CONDITION. Still in shrink wrap.
This was produced by the V&A for its David Bowie is Exhibition in 2013. This sold out in 1 day. Only 500 were ever produced. The Vinyl inside is Green.
Reissued from the 1995 original, itself a trimmed down version of Bowie’s concept album with Brain Eno Outside, this limited edition of Excerpts From Outside exclusive to the V&A looks to be one of the most collectible Bowie releases of recent years.
It’s the colour mix, rather than the audio mix however that sets this edition apart. Designed to reflect the colours used on different elements of the orignal cover artwork, the marbled vinyl consists of mixing the dominant green with brown, cream, purple and black. Thankfully, the result is more attractive than it sounds.
The process is done manually, by putting the batches of raw coloured vinyl together as it is warm. This is then mixed together and cut into individual ‘pucks’ of vinyl that are then inserted into the record presses for LP manufacture. Each record produced is therefore individual as the mix of colours is never the exact same in any two copies of the LP.
