Description
Up for grabs is a mint condition, unplayed brand new copy of Finders Keepers Records legendary Jean Claude Vannier Box Set, number 96 of only 150 ever made. The story behind why this is coming up for sale sort of makes me wince..... I purchased a copy of this box set from Finders Keepers on the original day of release back towards the end of 2011, unbeknown to me my wife also purchased a copy for my Christmas present....... Not a good move on my part! Hence I have 2, this one has remained unplayed in its original packaging since then. As you can see from the photos all is present and correct including the stunning Histoire De Melody Vannier Mix by Andy Votel, which includes "60 slices of rare, vintage Parisian Prog and Pop-Psych from the musical mind of Jean-Claude Vannier". This mix is bloody excellent! All 3 LP's have never even been out of their sleeves. I've only pictured one of the red inserts, but all 3 are present.
Rare opportunity to own number 96 of 150.
Any questions please ask and please check my other auctions.

Many thanks and happy bidding, below I have copied some nice things from the FK website and another review from the web.
Behold the ultimate Finders Keepers collectable! For months there have been hushed rumours of something special in the works at Finders Keepers - social networking sites have been abuzz with chatter of a special project to mark the 50th release and (almost) 7th anniversary of the label. Well here it is! The long awaited Jean Claude Vannier box set (FKRBS001) - consisting of an embossed black matte box containing all three Jean Claude Vannier albums released by Finders Keepers to date (L'Enfant Assassin Des Mouches on black vinyl, Electro Rapide on white vinyl and Roses Rouge Sang on red vinyl), three detailed inserts (one for each record), five black and white photographs, three exclusive Vannier illustrations, one piece tablature sheet music and copy of Histoire De Melody Vannier mixed by Andy Votel.
Crate-digger extraordinaire Votel has been championing Vannier’s work for years, bringing him over to London’s Barbican in 2006 to perform L’Histoire de Melody Nelson and L’Enfant Assassin Des Mouches. As well as that album, FK has also released Electro Rapide and Roses Rouge Sang. These three records come together in this special set to mark the label’s 50th release. So what do you get? First up is a sturdy box, with the artist’s name die-stamped in red on the lid. Inside, before you even get to the records, there are photos, three exclusive Vannier illustrations, one piece of tablature sheet music and a promo CD copy of the invigoratingly bonkers Histoire De Melody Vannier mixed by Andy Votel, of which only 69 physical copies have been released previously. It’s full of snippets of Vannier’s work, which will be exciting or agonizing, depending how much of a completist you are and you realize there’s still so much more to track down.
But it’s the music on vinyl that is so attractive about this set. All on heavyweight pressings, L’Enfant comes on black, Electro Rapide on white and Roses on a beautiful clear red pressing. Sound quality is as excellent as you’d expect. Each is accompanied by an information sheet about the album and the session players.
There were only 150 of these beauties made, and they’re all gone now!
