Description
T Rex Electric Warrior Original Vinyl Album, 1971 1st Edition - including original Mint Poster
First edition released with a picture portraits liner and lyrics printed on rear sleeve.
The initial copies distributed with a free foldout poster, with or without an advertising sticker on front sleeve. My copy has the poster but not the sticker on the sleeve (which is a good thing, yes!).
- Matrix / Runout (Side A, label): HIFLY 6A
- Matrix / Runout (Side A, runout, variant 1): HIFLY 6 A-2U - hand edtched "Porky"
- Matrix / Runout (Side B, runout, variant 1): HIFLY 6 B-2U - hand edtched "Pecko Duck"
This is the original 1st issue with unused excellent condition poster, taken out of the sleeve only a few times in 50 years. This has been in my collection for the last 50 years and was one of the first albums I bought. To begin with i played it a lot but looked after it, But since after the first year it was on my record shelf for many years and then was stored in a box for years and them back on my record shelf for the last 25 years untouched.
Tracklist
A1 Mambo Sun 3:38 A2 Cosmic Dancer 4:27 A3 Jeepster 4:10 A4 Monolith 3:35 A5 Lean Woman Blues 3:00 B1 Get It On 4:25 B2 Planet Queen 3:11 B3 Girl 2:30 B4 The Motivator 3:59 B5 Life's A Gas 2:22 B6 Rip Off 3:39Condition: The vinyl itself looks a VG++ with just a handful of small light scuffs and scratches (very minor), non effecting play. I have just played it through and is in nice sounding condition, the vinyl looks good but there are a few minor small scuffs on it and usual handling marks and a few hairline scratches as you would expect for a 50 year old record but the sound is pretty clear with no jumps, no crackling or clicks etc. In fact. playing it for the first time today for about 30 years I was surprised at how good it sounds (better actually than some of my new modern stuff).
The Sleeve itself is worn with small crease marks and plenty of wear around the edges and the spine. I would say good condition.
Poster has never been displayed and has remained folded in the sleeve all these years. A few light splash marks on the rear on one folded section but nothing serious and it does not show through.
Inner sleeve has some browning on the paper with age and corner creasing.
Loads of pictures uploaded so please check them all for details.
Stored upright in plastic sleeve in smoke free and pet free home.
Bid from £35
Reason for sale of my Stout art albums is I need to raise much needed cash being furloughed since March with 80% of a part time wage barely pays the rent!!
Please see my other listings for Mondo's Studio Ghibili release (2 versions x 2 lps) and the soundtrack for DRIVE - both with art by Tyler Stout.
Footnote for art collectors: Shortly and very sad to be selling my whole Tyler Stout print collection (45 screen prints).
