Description
This is OMD's 1981 album 'Architecture and Morality' with cut-out sleeve on Dindisc, reference DID12.
It is hand-signed on the front cover by Andy McLusky and Paul Humphreys in blue biro. It simply says 'with our regards Andy McLusky' and then Paul Humphreys has signed it below. Please see the attached images.
The cover is in very good condition with no folds, tears or marks. The cut-out is fine. The white inner sleeve is in very good condition too. The vinyl is marked A3/B3 and looks to be in good/very good condition with no marks or scratches.
Included is a four-page promotional flyer from Dindisc, It contains a history of the band and a discography. Also included is a one-page sheet from Dindisc of some additional dates for the 1981 tour.
Please note that I am not a dealer or a record collector. The items I am selling are all from the extensive collection of my late brother.
He was a great music and radio enthusiast, working for both BBC and commercial radio stations in the East Midlands from 1980 until 2013 presenting various music shows, mostly folk and rock.
Most of this time he was the producer and presenter of the nightly rock programme on Radio Trent in Nottingham (which, from 1984 was also broadcast on Leicester Sound and the in Derby from 1988).
During this period he interviewed many bands and artists in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester and usually had them sign copies of the albums they were promoting at the time. He was also sent many promotional, DJ-only and white-label pressings direct from the record companies.
I know he interviewed OMD several times in the early 80s as I have otherc items signed by them. I think this was signed before the Leicester Demontfort Hall gig in November 1981.
Sadly my brother passed away in November 2013, so I am slowly disposing of his extensive record collection. He had no family of his own, so according to his wishes we have opened a trust account to help his nephew and two nieces through university, and the proceeds from these sales will be paid into that account.
Over the last year I have already listed similar items such as original signed albums by artists ranging from The Ramones to Bryan Ferry and Sandy Denny, plus some rarities and DJ-only promotional copies. There are still many more for me to get through, so I will regularly be listing new items.
All vinyl will be sent in special secure mailers with stiffeners.
Thank you.
