LEONARD COHEN I'm Your Man 1988 1st PRESSING BARELY PLAYED MINT-
LEONARD COHENI'm Your Man
CBS (460642 1) FIRST PRESSING (February 1988)
PRESSED IN HOLLAND FOR UK DISTRIBUTION
SEEN JUST A COUPLE OF SPINS AND PLAYS FLAWLESSLY THROUGHOUT
PRESSED WITH THE FIRST ISSUE RED CBS/COLUMBIA LABELS
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN A SINGLE MATT SLEEVE WITH BACK PRINTED LYRICS
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE
A stunningly sophisticated leap into modern musical textures, I'm Your Man re-establishes Leonard Cohen's mastery.
Against a backdrop of keyboards and propulsive rhythms, Cohen surveys the global landscape with a precise, unflinching eye: the opening "First We Take Manhattan" is an ominous fantasy of commercial success bundled in crypto-fascist imagery, while the remarkable "Everybody Knows" is a cynical catalogue of societies "loaded dice" and the land mines littering the surface of love.
One of Cohen’s finest records and one of the finest releases of the ‘80s
Side 1:
First We Take Manhattan (5:59)
Ain't No Cure For Love (4:49)
Everybody Knows (5:33)
I'm Your Man (4:25)
Side 2:
Take This Waltz (5:58)
Jazz Police (3:51)
I Can't Forget (4:29)
Tower Of Song (5:37)
LABELS: MINT-
Clean, unmarked labels which carry just a few light spindle traces.
The Side Two label has some scratch marks around the centre but I think these are factory produced rather than later wear as this copy is barely touched
VINYL Visual: MINT-
Both surfaces are practically unmarked and shine like new (just one or two harmless wispy hairlines)
VINYL Audio: MINT-
In keeping with its lightly played status my play-check at loud volume found nothing to fault - gorgeous deep, rich and warm sound
SLEEVE: MINT-
As clean, sharp and fresh as the day it was made
POST & PACKING:
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
