Description

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION DOUBLE LP SET. IT IS ON THE ORIGINAL MO WAX RECORDS LABEL and THE CATALOG # MW085S.  THE MEDIA IS IN EX CONDITION. THERE ARE A COUPLE EXTREMELY SUPERFICIAL SCUFFS THAT ARE ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A 150 watt BULB- THEY DO NOT AFFECT PLAY.  THE MEDIA PRODUCES A PERFECT PLAY and HAS 100% OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTER.  THE ORIGINAL THICK FOLD-OUT JACKET IS BEAUTIFUL BUT DOES SHOW SOME VERY MINOR WEAR ON THE EDGES (On the top of the right door and the ends of both spines there are worn surfaces). ALTHOUGH WORN, IT IS COMPLETELY INTACT WITH NO ACTUAL SPLITS, WRITING OR STICKERS.  IT IS COMPLETE WITH BOTH THE ORIGINAL LINERS ( one liner has a slight spot of open glue but there are no tears).

NOTE: Unkle (also written as U.N.K.L.E.) are a British musical outfit founded in 1994 by school friends James Lavelle and Tim Goldsworthy. Originally categorized as trip-hop, the group once included producer DJ Shadow and have employed a variety of guest artists and producers.

Second incarnation (1997–1999)

Lavelle drafted in DJ Shadow to work on the debut album, and essentially discarded all previously recorded material. Lavelle and Shadow released Psyence Fiction in 1998 to critical acclaim. The album included collaborations with an all-star lineup including Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Mike D (Beastie Boys), Kool G. Rap, Jason Newsted (Metallica), Badly Drawn Boy and Richard Ashcroft (The Verve).The album was mixed by Shadow's long-time collaborator, producer Jim Abbiss.

Shadow left the group after touring Psyence Fiction and was replaced by turntablist group the Scratch Perverts, who deconstructed the album and performed it live on turntables in 1999. Also in 1999, former producer Richard File remixed the track "Unreal", adding vocals by Ian Brown, and the resulting track was released as the single "Be There".

On 1 February 1999, Lavelle and the Scratch Perverts appeared on the Radio 1 program The Breezeblock, utilising "5 turntables". The set was largely based around tracks from Psyence Fiction, with some of them reworked live by Lavelle for the live performance. The Scratch Perverts' contribution consisted of scratching over the top of the U.N.K.L.E. tracks, a deconstructed version of 'Be There', and some solo interludes.
