Portishead ?– Dummy Go! Beat ?– 828 522-1 Vinyl, LP Album 1994
I'm reluctantly selling some of my vinyl collection due to moving house. This record was bought in the 90's at the time of release. It has been carefully stored since purchase, in it's original cellophane, with just a slit to access the inner sleeve.
The outer sleeve is in really great condition, with the exception of one corner that my cat at the time has taken a nip at (pls see pic). An annoying habit he had!
The inner sleeve is in very good condition, as is the vinyl.
Please view photos carefully as they form part of this description.
Dummy is the debut studio album by English electronic band Portishead, released on 22 August 1994 by Go! Beat Records.[1]
The album received critical acclaim and won the 1995 Mercury Music Prize. It is often credited with popularising the trip hop genre, and is frequently cited in lists of the best albums of the 1990s. Dummy had sold 825,000 copies in the United Kingdom as of September 2011[2] and was certified triple platinum in the UK in February 2019, for sales of 900,000 copies.[3] Worldwide, the album had sold 3.6 million copies by 2008.
Building on the promise of their earlier EP, 'Numb', Dummy helped to cement the reputation of Bristol as the capital of trip hop, a nascent genre which was then often referred to simply as "the Bristol sound". The cover is a still image of vocalist Beth Gibbons taken from To Kill a Dead Man—the short film that the band created—for which the self-composed soundtrack earned the band its record contract.
