Description

Marillion ?– Afraid Of Sunlight- Original Vinyl Album 1st pressing 1995

Label:EMI – EMD 1079

Format:Vinyl, LP

Country:UK

Released:1995

Genre:Rock

Scarce, out of print Vinyl copy of Marillion’s 1995 Album ‘Afraid of sunlight’. '' While not a concept album as such, Afraid of Sunlight repeatedly examines the destructive side of celebrity. In particular, "Afraid of Sunlight" refers to self-destructive thrill-seekers such as James Dean; "Out of This World" is about world land and water speed record holder Donald Campbell, killed in 1967, while "Gazpacho" seems to refer to Mike Tyson. "King" refers to Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, and Michael Jackson. The song "Beyond You" is reminiscent of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound productions, and is recorded monaurally rather than in stereo.''

 

I haven’t had a record player for 10 years so condition is by eye.

The front and back covers are in excellent condition, there is just minor scuffing to the corners/shelf wear.

The inner sleeve with lyrics and credits is in very good condition,

The vinyl is surprisingly heavy and in excellent condition. I have inspected it in full sunlight and could not find any damage /scratches.I only played this album to record to tape.
