GUIDED BY VOICES - VAMPIRE ON TITUS LP (Scat, 1993)
Only 3400 printed up! Rare! Collectible! …and some damn fine music too.
The copy is in VG condition. Unlike several of the other early GbV albums I’m selling on eBay that are still in their shrink wrap, this one has been played a couple of times, and loved. There are a few surface crackles and pops, a few light smeared fingerprints – but it’s in extremely good nick. The sleeve itself has remained in a plastic shrinkwrap throughout its life.
I can still very clearly remember the circumstances that led up to its acquisition – and that of its companions. It was at CBGBs, New Music Seminar 1993, NYC. I’d just finished watching Guided By Voices on stage, in the company of about 15 other people – and was blown away by their sheer energy, and naïve enthusiasm for pop music. I loved the tunes. I have a very clear mental picture of Robert kicking his leg out, even now.
Afterwards I went to say hello where Mr Pollard was attempting to sell his wares at the front of house, by some rails right opposite the bar. I introduced myself, and told him I loved his band and wanted to interview them. He was overwhelmed: “I’ve waited 10 years to do an interview!” he exclaimed – and insisted on pressing into my hands a copy of EVERY single limited edition album he had on him, plus a whole bunch of handmade T-shirts. (I think I have them somewhere, if anyone’s interested.)
The interview itself the next day – in a bar round the corner from the Gramercy Park Hotel – was an absolute riot.
I will ship anywhere in the world by first class post or airmail (see price list elsewhere). This will take about 7-10 days. If you need faster shipping, please email me and I will inform you the extra cost. The same goes for insurance. Vinyl will be packaged with love and attention.
For these GbV sales, I can only accept Paypal payment from your Paypal Account Balance or Instant Transfers. I can’t accept Paypal payment through credit card.
I am selling off a load of other early, limited edition Guided By Voices LPs. Please check my other auction listings.
…and finally. I know I’m new to eBay, but you can check my sales on amazon.co.uk (ramonesfan79) for buyer satisfaction... Cheers.
