Rarity: this record is probably the hardest album by OCS to track down! Issued in 2003 under their new label ‘Sanctuary Records’ it personally took me three separate attempts to secure a vinyl copy, which I finally did the weekend around the release date of 7th July 2003. This album was produced in very low numbers, and rarely comes up for sale, despite being what I personally consider to be on of their very best albums. If they do come up for sale, please note that it is impossible to secure a copy of this album shrink-wrapped – all were sold loose and un-wrapped! I have to say this was ridiculous and poor practice by Sanctuary, as this is an incredibly soft matt cover in an off-white / ivory effect style, and nearly always are hugely marked, dinked and not looking their best when offered on eBay and other sites! It is (in my opinion) literally impossible to secure at a ‘like new’ condition for this very reason – the record inside may be good but not the cover!
Condition: this vinyl copy has not been played and will remain so. The record for this reason has no handling and play marks and the vinyl would grade a strong excellent plus (+) condition. (It was the digipack CD version played endlessly on my car that was my ‘play copy’ and this vinyl copy has simply sat in my overall collection for nigh on eighteen years). I mentioned the risk around the cover, well this copy of the cover is a minimum excellent condition, with no dinks, scratches, creases or dents. A superb cover! If it wasn’t for the mildest of rubbing and ring wear on the front panel above the album title believe me, I would be giving this a much higher grading. The glossy inner sleeve is actually thicker and stronger than the outer, and in a minimum excellent plus (+) condition. So not a sealed ‘museum’ condition copy, but probably the best you will find of what is one of their rarest albums to track down on vinyl!
