Aphex Twin - Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 3 - EX/NM 1992 UK 12" - Rephlex CAT 008 / REPH 008
This is the original release / first edition / insert without the printed-on barcode from 1992.
Flaws  ---  Vinyl is somewhere between Excellent and Near-Mint ...... Inner sleeve is VG+ ...... Insert is EX ...... Outer paper bag had one of my stickers on it that fell off and I didn't bother replacing it, hence the VG+ there.   Please see the photos, zoom in at your leisure.
Music  ---  If you're not familiar with Mr. James' musical works and have to ask...... This is some seriously different and incredibly engineered stuff and part of a genre called "IDM" (Intelligent Dance Music).    If I remember right, I used this for drop-in/cut-in on techno/rave and even 'industrial' sets at the clubs.

From the Discogs website "Notes" section for this release (Discogs # 4701-AFX-Analogue-Bubblebath-Vol-3):
Comes in a brown paper bag with a double-sided A4 insert of "Places Of Interest In Cornwall".  Note that there are 2 versions of this insert, one without a barcode and one with.
S1 ends with bubbling noises, this is missing from the later compilation.
S2 starts with a sample of a microwave beeping. the same track on the CD and later vinyl compilation starts with a sample of a vacuum cleaner approaching the listener and powering off instead.
S3 ends in a locked groove.
S4 consists of two tracks, one being played in the right channel, the other in the left channel. (Left 3:45/Right 4:10). ".0180871L" begins roughly 5 seconds in; when it ends, the ~20 second outro to ".0180871R" plays in full stereo.
W3 is slightly different, it has some extra background sounds and 2:17 shorter than the 8 min CD and later vinyl compilation.
S3 & W4 are not on the later compilation.
S5 & W5, the runout grooves on both sides, have a 4 second sample in them.

Note 1:   I'm led to believe this initial first pressing was rather limited in quantity and subsequent pressings had several differences.
Note 2:   I do not accept nor entertain offers on anything I list.   Please don't ask.   I probably won't reply.   Please see below.
Note 3:   Yes, I know how to properly package a record for shipment.  Doesn't matter if it's $ 2.99 or $ 299.  It gets got vely goodry muchness.

------ ------ ------

Now for the not-reduced-to-ultra-fine-print business part - this is on every listing I run up - so you can be sure nobody gets screwed over and I don't get taken to the cleaners by folks who would do so to get stuff for free, or worse, make a seller look bad for whatever reason (yes, it happens and that's sad).   I'll also never and I mean never ever notaneffingchance - I'll never engage a 'bid-bot' in the blind to run up an auction price.   That's about as lowlife as anyone can get in business and says a lot about them as a person.
I'm offering new wave and prog rock (and some other styles including a few titles of very early-in-the-game techno/rave) CD's and vinyl.
Most of what's offered will be set in at auction.   Some items may start as low as $2.99.   From time to time, items will be run up at a fixed price and without question, at time of listing will be the lowest price - period - and will keep checking to make sure that's the case.
I don't accept offers.  Why won't I accept offers ?   Just being honest here:  Having a full-time-plus job and staying on top of my 'store' here is difficult enough.   Sellers get screwed sometimes without realizing it and when sellers decline offers, customers can get corked off, start cussin' n' stuff......  It becomes overwhelming and more than once at the start, I considered chucking it all.   So no offers entertained, please don't ask.    I probably won't reply anyway (and if that-all makes me seem the a-hole, so be it).
You might notice I'm going a tad over the top with most descriptions and sometimes the amount of photos on many listings.   That's solely so you know which end is up.   Not gonna hide anything.   Any missing artwork, pieces, parts, etc., and/or any real flaws on all items will be noted in plain language and sight in the description panel and of course, in the photos.
I was a nightclub DJ on LawnGuyLand NooYawk back when new wave was new and almost every new wave title I have - vinyl and CD - 95% of 'em - were "working" items.   I'll never ever offer for sale any item I wouldn't buy myself,   I'd rather just give 'em away or toss 'em in a dumpster.   Please see the photos on each new wave/club-use item listed, you'll understand.   If CD jewel cases or inner sleeves on vinyl were replaced with new, that will be noted as well.  More......
On most of the new wave CD's and vinyl, there's stickers with my hand-written notes (BPM, Artist/Title, version, etc.). It was easier to see that in a dark club/DJ booth than pulling the rekkid itself.   I make no apologies for doing the sticker thing - it helped.   I know I wasn't the only one doing this kind of thing either.
No warranty expressed or implied on any item offered.   All sales final.   No returns.
Buyer is responsible for any sales taxes and/or VAT due.  Shipping not included in price, be it an auction or fixed price listing.
NewWaveAndProgRockDJ (meaning yours truly) absorbs the cost of cartons/packing material. It might not seem like much, but if you've never sold items before, the cost of padding material, packaging, new CD jewel cases and even carton sealing tape, that stuff adds up rather quickly.   Also, let's not kid ourselves:  Of course that cost is built into the opening bid price.   Momma dinna rayz no dummie. ;-)
As far as actual packing goes, I'm kinda sorta maybe pretty good at making sure your item(s) leave here with their seat belts properly fastened, seat in the upright position and tray-table secured to the seat in front. Tain't my first rodeo with ye olde shipping/receiving/logistics thing.
NewWaveAndProgRockDJ (again, meaning yours truly) is not responsible for any delays, non-receipt, permanently lost in the bilge of a slow boat to nowhere, nor damage incurred by your items during shipping and transit to you via any carrier.
Re-sellers welcome. If you think my opening bid/fixed pricing makes me seem off my meds - meaning I'm way under what something should go for - please by all means grab it and go for it.  It's all good.
