Description
Hello! Please read this description very carefully, look at and study the pictures carefully, and then please go back and do both again. They are there for both your and my benefit.
-This listing is for a very rare original double 12" LP vinyl copy of The Grey Album- the (in)famous art project by Danger Mouse in 2004..
Long deleted and mega hard to find, this mashes up the acapellas from Jay Z's black album with new musical compositions composed entirely from samples taken from The Beatles white album. It works very very well. This is not the more recent colored vinyl pressing, this is the original bootleg from 2004 with cat number on the runout of DM-001. I remember very clearly listing a copy of this for sale on ebay back when it was still hot news and it got me banned from ebay for a couple of weeks thanks to EMI's cease & desist campaign against it at the time!
This is new old stock- the sleeve has some light shelf wear & marks but most importantly the records are unplayed & unmarked and removed from the sleeve for the first time for these pictures. I had several copies of this at the time of release and this one has lived in my record racks in my smoke-free studio since purchase.
Please note: the sound quality of this is interesting and is not down to a bad pressing or pressing fault (I have the original CD version for direct comparison). Given the mash up and anarchistic nature of the project, and where the source samples were taken from, it suits it very well. The sound quality of this pressing is also far better than the 'remastered' CD version floating around.
I have one copy of this for sale only, and it rarely appears for sale. If you have any questions or thoughts please drop me a line.
Thanks for looking!
Stuff:
- Ebay buy it now price takes into account ebays high fees of 10%. Please bear this in mind if making an offer. Sensible offers are ok- stupid and/or unrealistic offers will be rejected and you will be immediately added to my blocked bidder/buyer list.
-UK recorded shipping £5. I either use Royal Mail recorded, Royal Mail special delivery, Parcelforce, Fedex or UPS - depending on value, size and weight. I do not - EVER- use myhermes, yodel, collectplus or any of the other crap services masquerading as couriers which like to destroy or lose your packages, or leave them on your doorstep, roof, or in your bin and then deny all liability. All packages are sent well packed, using either new or recycled packaging materials, and are sent signed for - no exceptions. You are paying for the recorded shipping, my time to package, packaging materials (bubble wrap, printer ink, paper, envelopes, boxes and packing tape are not free) and the sheer mind numbing boredom of going to the post office and queuing behind the grannies. Even royal mails most basic services are expensive, and adding recorded on to that makes them even moreso, so please no complaints about the postal charges, they are clearly stated in the listing before bidding/purchasing!
- Collection is available from Gloucestershire (J11 M5). I am perhaps willing to travel/meet/whatever and generally pretty flexible. I am in london on business from time to time. Please contact me for payment methods for paying on collection. I will also accept a cheque, but there will be a delay until fully cleared before shipping.
- I am open to sensible discussion regarding price, shipping, or any aspect of the item at all and am happy to provide further photos if required. If you do have any questions at all please do not hesitate to send me a message and I will reply as soon as possible.
- The items contained in this lot are either brand new or used and this will be clearly stated. If used, it may have marks and wear consistent with age and use. All items are tested properly before being listed, and any issues/ defects present will have been noted, photographed and explicitly mentioned in the description and photos. Please do not bid if you do not understand this!
-I have seen- and sadly experienced an attempt at- pretty much every ebay scam going in my over a decade using this site, so please don't attempt it..you will most definitely regret it. I will not post to your mother's cousin's dog in Nigeria, so don't waste your time.
- At the time of listing this item is available for purchase and in my possession. I do however reserve the right to end this listing early for whatever reason I deem appropriate - including if the item is no longer available for sale.
- Please do not bid/buy unless you have read the entire description and you know EXACTLY what you are purchasing. I would prefer prospective buyers to make contact before clicking buy it now, but if you cant wait, please ensure you know what you are buying.
- If you have an issue please contact me in the first instance.
-The pictures are there for a reason, as is my detailed description. If you have any queries or questions please drop me a message.
- No warranty is given or implied and I do not accept returns due to you changing your mind. I am a private seller having a life clear-out due to upcoming emigration, not a business.
The only circumstance under which I would accept a return is if I have grossly misrepresented something, which isn't going to happen as you have read all of this right to the bottom...haven't you? :)
Thanks for looking!
