Description

VERY RARE Special Edition The Mars Volta 4xLP 12'' glow in the dark vinyl set
** MINT CONDITION! Played only once or twice! **

Released in 2005 on Gold Standard Laboratories, limited to only 500 copies!  
All 4 records are glow in the dark, one of which has an intricate etching detail on one side.
3 of the 4 records, with similar sleeves that fit into trifold package, play out their second album "Frances The Mute."  
The 4th is a 12'' Frances The Mute single.  Side A has 3 songs not on the original LP and side B has a live performance of lead single "The Widow."  
The Frances the mute single comes in its own sleeve and perfectly fits within the trifold package in a sleek red plastic envelope with metallic silver detail.
It even comes with the original Gold Standard Laboratories Summer 2005 Catalogue flyer!
This is perfect for any Mars Volta super fan and psychedelic music enthusiast! Beautiful sounding and looking package.  This is an unbelievable concept album with a partly true inspirational story talked about in many interviews with the band and theorized by fans in many online forums haha! The silver logo on the front is part of the mythology of the album's story and the 3 previously unreleased songs on the 12'' single also add to the entire story of the album!
I have provided a lot of photos, please feel free to ask any questions or for any specific details you want to see!
** Shipping is $10 **
** USA BIDDERS ONLY **
