Description

Cocteau Twins - Blue Bell Knoll

CAD 807 4AD 1988 ULTRA RARE UK TEST PRESSING, date stamped 28 June 1988. Only 30 were pressed, so after nearly 20 years (that long?) don't expect to find too many of these out there.

Comes in the full original fold-out packaging, photography by Juergen Teller.

I'm putting a high start on this because I have no idea how many of you out there would appreciate and treasure this, and I'm not going to let it go for peanuts. I'm not a record store, just someone selling off their personal collection.

Condition: MINT

Grading Scale:
Mint... Perfect record, clean gloss, no marks, beautiful in every way. Very few records will make mint.
Near Mint... Very clean, only a few light marks. A great record.
VG++: Condition between VG+ and Near Mint.
VG+... Used, but not abused. Light scratches only. Should play, and look very nice with minimal surface noise.
VG... Still a nice record. Looks a bit used, light scratches, no gouges, still plays well, some surface noise.
VG-... A bit rough but will play ok. Fills the collection.
G... Plays very rough. Has multiple scratches. What a bargain!!
