HERE IS A CHANCE TO BID ON AND ULTIMATELY OWN A MINT/SEALED COPY OF LEMON JELLY'S FIRST ALBUM ON VINYL....NO, THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!!!
THIS ALBUM WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN OCTOBER 2000 AND LIMITED TO 1000 COPIES ON VINYL...HOW RARE DO YOU THINK A SEALED ONE IS???
HERE'S A REVIEW FOR YOU... "Tell me if this strategy sounds familiar. Unknown English band self-releases three EPs of quaintly nostalgic pop laden with samples and strings, attracts excellent notices in the weeklies, and soon finds itself in the lovin' arms of the Prodigy's XL label. Before you can blurt "Badly Drawn Boy" (or "Beta Band," for that matter), meet Lemon Jelly, the latest act to make it once around the block. But Lemon Jelly's Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin are more KLF than BDB, sharing a line in deadpan parody--Rutles rather than Beatles, if you will--and hypnotic craft. LemonJelly.Ky (the duo struck up a deal with the Cayman Islands to share the ".Ky" WWW extension) collects the trio of limited-edition 10"s that announced Lemon Jelly's arrival. Each track lifts loops from some forgotten vinyl artifact--a Nana Mouskouri platter, a self-help or instructional record--and massages it into a squishy, colorful groove. On the "Bath" EP, Burt Kaempfert's "Tahitian Sunset" and a kitschy orchestration of "Witchita Lineman" become wistful psychedelectronica motifs for "In the Bath" and "A Tune for Jack," the latter also incorporating a cool swatch of Ken Nordine. 1999's "Yellow" EP offers "His Majesty King Raam," Danny Elfman-does-Disney-on-the-dancefloor whimsy jazzed up with Chick Corea-n piano passages. Better yet, the very Beta Band-like "The Staunton Lick" turns a folk-guitar lesson into a sweet hoe-down, with vibes and trumpet accompaniment thrown in for good, funky measure. Add the ethnic forgeries and Afro-Cuban fantasies of "Homage to Patagonia"--think Henry Mancini on world safari--and you have Lemon Jelly's strongest statement. The "Midnight" EP builds on the polyrhythmic "Patagonia" with even plusher synth textures and more vivid scratchwork. "Kneel Before Your God" takes an unexpected detour through Pharoah Sanders' Africa, while "Come" extends the fuzzy-wuzzy poptronics of Boards of Canada and their ilk with a totally unexpected harmonica solo. Graphic wizard Deakin's bright, bubbly art design is a perfect complement for the music's brand-new-you're-retro feel. A fine package, inside and out"
THE VINYL IS A GORGEOUS 3-GATEFOLD WITH STUNNING GRAPHICS THROUGHOUT...THAT IS, AFTER YOU BREAK THE SEAL!
THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO OWN THIS LP WHETHER IT'S SEALED OR NOT... IT'S STILL RARE AS HEN'S TEETH! YOU WON'T SEE ONE OF THESE AGAIN FOR A WHILE!
HAPPY BIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
