The Fall
I Am Kurious Oranj LP
Beggars Banquet Records BEGA 96 (1988)
(NM/Ex+) The sleeve and record are in fantastic condition. I think a lot of collectors would grade them both NM. The gatefold sleeve is in perfect condition with just some fading to the spine. The spine is crisp and undamaged. It has been stored in a plastic sleeve since new. The labels are as new, with some bobbling at the centre from when they were glued on, which seems to have affected all Fall releases from this period. There aren’t even any spindle-marks. I doubt I played this more than 3 times. The LP is lovely and glossy, and is as near as perfect as you can get from a second-hand record. There shouldn’t be any effect whatever on sound quality.
The Fall goes arty, providing the musical score for the Michael Clarke Company’s ballet about William of Orange. I went to see this, and I had no idea what was going on.
Note: this superb original press copy includes my original ticket to see the ballet at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London on 6 October 1988 (see photo). Rarer than the proverbial hens’ teeth! This original copy has the etched runouts BEGA-96-A1 STU Tape One 1 DAMONT E / BEGA 96 B 1 DAMONT C (early stampers).
The record will be cleaned carefully on a Knosti Disco Anti-Stat record cleaning machine before dispatch. Please let me know as early as possible if you don’t want it to be cleaned.
If you want any more information or photos, please ask! I’ll be happy to help.

I meant to mention that the photo of the ticket has been enhanced; the print is quite faint in reality. The ticket is also in excellent condition, though; I stuck it to the inner sleeve with Prit-stick after I bought the album. It shouldn't be hard to remove it, if you want to keep it separately.
