Description
Mercury was the first album by Celluloid, and this is the only copy I’ve ever seen of it. The album uses Mellotron and Synclavier exclusively. The CDS site describes the album as “full of vast sounding waves of synth-like cosmic music and Tron-performed full-sounding passages, a sort of mix of Synergy’s Computer Experiments and Edgar Froese’s Epsilon In Malaysian Pale albums.” The album includes pieces like “Formation of Space, Land and Sea” and “Civilization of Planets,” and the music is appropriately dark. Mercury apparently came with a booklet, and this album has photocopies of that booklet. Privately pressed in the U.K. on Wax Museum Art Corps in 1983. The cover and record are in M--- condition.

Payment and Shipping Information
In the U.S., postage would be about $4.77 for one LP sent by Media Mail. Package insured upon request. Winners outside of the U.S. will be notified of postal fees, but an approximate cost for one LP to many countries is $16.20 by airmail (but Canada and Mexico will be less than this for most single LP packages). If you bid on and win more than one item, you WILL save on postage! Note: I do not gouge on postage and packaging costs. Record will be carefully packaged in a strong, oversized LP mailer. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. E-mail: david.o@jjldj.com.
International Customers: Please DO NOT use the Checkout (Pay Now) option, or you may end up paying more for postage than is necessary, as eBay tends to calculate shipping and handling on the high side. Instead, wait for me to contact you with an invoice and the correct total amount due. I will do my best to contact you within a day of the auction’s end. Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges (typically collected upon delivery or pickup) are the buyer’s responsibility and are not included in the item price or shipping charges. Please check with your country’s customs office prior to bidding/buying to determine what these additional costs will be.
