Description
Sparklehorse
Good Morning Spider
Parlophone
49 6014 1
1998
A stunning UK 1st press of the seminal Sparklehorse record Good Morning Spider. This is a very hard to find record and is on a lot of people's best album of the 90s. The record is in stunning, barely played condition and looks almost as new.
It comes with a unique extra, a hand signed poloroid of the late, great Mark Linkous. There is only one of these in the world and here it is! He sent out promo copies to the media world in early 98 and in each put hand signed photos of the band live I've seen only one other in my time. Equally the front of the sleeve has a promo sticker.
This is a once in a lifetime record!

Condition
Outer Sleeve : Excellent
The 1st press sleeve is in near perfect condition. It would be a solid Mint but there is a 3cm rub on the top edge. Its barely noticeable but is there. Other than that one flaw the rest of the sleeve looks as new. It is sharp with no laminate lift, ringwear or graffiti whatsoever. The spine is strong and perfect. All the colours are vivid and it looks as if just bought bar the most minor of shelf wear.
Inner Sleeve: Nr Mint
The picture inner sleeve is perfect in every way. No rips tears or anything to mention.
Vinyl: Nr Mint
The heavy vinyl is in near perfect condition. I know that I have only played this very minimally and I look after my records so other than the smallest of near invisible removals, it's in stunning condition . It sounds simply stunning and just jumps off the turntable. There is undoubtedly a huge difference when compared to my represses. It just sounds perfect as if the amps of the guitars are in the room.
Labels: Nr Mint
Not a mark to mention, no spider lines, no writing, just perfect labels.
Signed poloroid:
Hard to give a condition. The picture is perfect, I believe it is is Paul Watson on lap steel. The signature reading LOVE SPARKLEHORSE is a little smudged but has been smudged since I owned it and probably was like that from day one.
Happy Bidding!
I will post the record with inner sleeve and vinyl removed from outer sleeve and placed in a new plastic sleeve. The record will then be packaged into a high quality, boxed mailer with two stiffeners either side. In short, It will be bombproof!
I will post as soon as payment is received and full tracking will be updated once dispatched. If you are unhappy with my grading, I offer a full refund with no quibbles and will pay return postage if in the UK.
