Description
The first of my Swans vinyl goodies to be listed, several more to follow. Nothing ultra-rare, but worth a look.
This is the original UK release of Swans' 1987 double album Children of God. Track list (from Discogs):
A1 New Mind Written-By – Kizys*, Gira*, Westberg*, Parsons* 5:12 A2 In My Garden Flute – Simon FraserWritten-By – Kizys*, Jarboe, Gira* 5:34 A3 Our Love Lies Written-By – Kizys*, Gira*, Westberg* 5:47 B1 Sex, God, Sex Written-By – Gira*, Westberg* 6:43 B2 Blood And Honey Written-By – Jarboe, Gira* 4:45 B3 Like A Drug (Sha La La La) Cello – Audrey RileyWritten-By – Kizys*, Gira*, Westberg*, Parsons* 5:36 C1 You're Not Real, Girl Written-By – Gira* 4:18 C2 Beautiful Child Written-By – Kizys*, Gira*, Westberg*, Parsons* 5:13 C3 Blackmail Oboe – Lindsay CooperPiano – William BarnhardtWritten-By – Jarboe, Gira* 3:33 C4 Trust Me Oboe – Lindsay CooperWritten-By – Jarboe, Gira*, Westberg* 5:26 D1 Real Love Written-By – Kizys*, Gira*, Westberg* 6:19 D2 Blind Love Written-By – Gira*, Westberg* 7:44 D3 Children Of God Written-By – Jarboe, Gira* 4:33
My copy was only played a couple of times, once to tape it, so vinyl and sleeve are in VGC. The left hand lower outer sleeve has come unglued (I have not reglued it, a proper collector can do it properly!), other than that there is no damage. Original Swans/Skin catalogue included, lyrics on inner sleeve.
If you've looked at my previous listing, which were mostly 90s ambient dance records, please note Swans are NOT a dance band. I only saw them live once, during the Burning World tour (which was their 'mellow' change of direction) and it's still the most crushingly loud and brutal sound I've ever experienced. God-like!
Anyway, I believe this album in vinyl format in VGC is quite rare, so my starting price is, I think, reasonable. I am always open to an offer, but I will always let the auction finish before I accept any offers.
Any questions please do message me!
