GANG OF FOUR ENTERTAINMENT! 1979 EMC3313 MATRIX NUMBERS - 1U/1U - GENUINE FIRST PRESSING
You are bidding on one of the most essential post punk albums ever! If you ain't got this in your collection you are truly missing out - so influential on the bands you hear today like Bloc Party and LCD Soundsystem and the like. I am offering this for auction as i have bought a collection and ended doubling up on this classic. The vinyl itself is as close to mint as you can get visually and this also applies to the audio quality - stunning for an album from 1979! The inner sleeve and labels are also in a stunning condition in fact the only thing that is not quite mint is the cover itself - but don't panic - the cover has a couple of gouges or scratches out of the front and a tiny bit of spine wear but corner and ring wear remain light. Please check detailed pics below to confirm all round condition.
Happy bidding. Check my other vinyl for sale.
All vinyl will be properly packaged in professional mailer and postage combined on request.
WIKI REVIEW Entertainment! is the debut album by English post-punk band Gang of Four, released in September 1979. This album was released on EMI in the UK and on Warner Bros. in the U.S..
The music on the first album shows clearly the influence of punk, yet also incorporates funk and less-obvious influences of reggae and dub, similar to other bands at the time such as Public Image Ltd., Pere Ubu, and The Pop Group. As with these other influential post-punk bands, the bass is mixed much more prominently than it typically is in rock or punk.
The album has attracted praise from rock musicians. Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers stated that the first time he heard the record, "It completely changed the way I looked at rock music and sent me on my trip as a bass player."[6] In 2003, the album was ranked number 490 on Rolling Stonemagazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. In 2012, the album ranked at #483 on a revised list by the magazine. In March 2005, Qmagazine placed the track "At Home He's a Tourist" at number 52 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks.
Pitchfork Media listed Entertainment! as eighth best album of the 1970s.
