Description
I am selling my records because I no longer have space to care for them in the manner they deserve. They have been like children to me. Here I am selling the "real" original copy of Electricity by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark on Factory Records not the DinDisc re-release (I am selling that separately). As OMD fans will know this version is ultra rare.
The sleeve itself is very special. It was designed by Peter Saville, Factory's designer. The band and Saville met in a Rochdale pub and exchanged ideas. Saville told them about a book of avant-garde musical scores which he'd come across. Andy McCluskey said that he sometimes wrote down the tunes he composed in a similar shorthand. This led to the unusual graphics that feature on the sleeve. Saville suggested to use shiny black ink on black paper. Both OMD and Tony Wilson didn't believe it could be done, but Saville persuaded a printer to do the job. The thermographic printing was a success, but the place set on fire three times, so eventually only 5,000 sleeves were printed
I believe the Buy it Now price to be very fair given the discos valuation, condition of the record and previous auctions. If you pay the Buy It Now price I will upgrade the postage to sign for/insured etc. free of charge.
I will post the record in a custom mailer with stiffeners. It is important to me that you receive the record in the same condition as I send it.
