Description

Hello, fellow sonic travellers... Dom & Sarah here - two devoted and incurable music addicts. 
We're auctioning a truly amazing collection of massively rare and highly sought-after records, most of them new and unplayed and all starting at just 1p. We bought two copies of each of these records - one to play, and one to keep as a spare. 
We've just learnt our landlord is selling our house, bah!! and we have to make a small fortune quickly to find a new place. Renting in Brighton ain't cheap - so to get some shekels together quickly, we're selling our spare copies of these brilliant records. This way at least we can spread some glorious vibes to other music freaks like ourselves, and hopefully be able to move to a magical new abode...
So set your alarm for 9pm (UK time) on Sunday 2nd June, 'cos that's when the auctions end and the magic begins...
Don't forget to check out our other items - and happy bidding! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  You're bidding on the 1st pressing of "Patience (After Sebald)" by The Caretaker.
This was released on transparent blue vinyl on the History Always Favours The Winners label (catalogue number HAFTW013-LP), limited to 300 copies for the world. It's new and sealed.
From a Discogs review: "Sourced strictly from the very earliest recordings of Franz Schubert‘s 1927 piece “Winterreise” the twelve tracks on the album loop, fade in and out, drowned in noise, hiss and static in that abandoned ballroom Caretaker fashion. Once again, evoking early memories, both real and imaginary, the carefully selected passages of Schubert’s song cycle for voice and piano, are perfectly triggered around beautiful phrases, leaving the melody hanging before its resolve, until it snaps back into original dominant tonic. At times the smudgy, muddy and muddled recording sounds as if it was lifted off of Edison’s phonograph cylinder… at times they remind me of a long forgotten repetitive piano practice. Either way, the obscure production process in which Kirby soaks the sounds leaves a mystifying trace on ones psyche, aching to play the album over again…"

NOW, HERE'S THE BORING BUT IMPORTANT STUFF - PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR BID...  Paypal is the only accepted payment method. Please pay within 3 days of auction end. Reduced postage rates are available for multiple purchases, so if you have won more than one auction, please wait for a revised invoice which will be sent the same evening, as soon as all the auctions have finished. The postage prices are calculated according to fully insured postage. Sorry for the postage costs, but UK postal rates were recently updated by a committee which included Emperor Ming, Satan and the Cenobites from the Hellraiser movies. We don't make any profit on postage charges, and we don't charge for packing materials (which are often recycled). So what you pay for is what it costs to send... but if for any reason postage costs less, we'll refund the difference as soon as your package is sent. All records are packaged very safely with cardboard stiffeners. Any questions, feel free to ask. Anyone who bids without understanding these instructions will be made to lick the backs of Mick Hucknall's clammy knees after he's lost at squash to Tony Blair, and listen to a selection of Cliff Richard's Christmas "hits" blasted through headphones tied on to your head with your own intestines, while Anne Widdecombe dances a lascivious burlesque in the background wearing a skimpy outfit made only of pages from Leviticus.
