Siouxsie & The Banshees LP A Kiss In The Dreamhouse ‘82 Polydor-Vintage Vinyl

$

48

This is the original UK release. The cover is beautiful and well designed with shiny gold printing. The music is fantastic. Listened to a few times and thrown on tape. Has not been touched in decades. There’s no other voice like Siouxsie Sioux.

Selling off my indie record collection to pay my student loans. Nearly 30 years worth! Tough times…

Will combine shipping. Just ask for an invoice within 25 days of winning bid. Ships in a dedicated LP box via media mail. See my other listings.

Comes with a free random manhole cover magnet made by rethinktankdesign
