Description
Note: I give combined shipping discounts. I will be listing a bunch of choice lps in the next couple of days.
Condition: Vinyl = Very Good Plus/ Cover = VG+.
NOTES:
Like Joy Division and the Cure, Sheffield’s Comsat Angels mastered the art of atmospherics; only nominally involved in rock’n’roll at the outset, they were actually interested in creating haunting mood music. Firm beats play against melancholy melodies and hushed vocals to create the impression of eavesdropping on someone’s inner turmoil, an approach which is morosely fascinating on Waiting for a Miracle (hailed in one UK paper as the greatest debut LP of all time, it remains a stunning masterwork) and tunes like “Total War” and “Independence Day”.
Sleep No More is a tightly wound hotbed of tension, frayed edges, shattered nerves and spilled coffee. Although criticized for its bleakness, its dark and disturbing tone, this is a fascinating, underrated and often misunderstood work, ambitious rather than accommodating or immediately accessible. Dark, smoky and blood-curdling, the Comsats at their best.
Grading: LPs are graded visually and conservatively under many bright lights. Any questionable marks are play graded with 1.5 gram tracking weight.
Grades Used: Near-Mint; Excellent (VG++), Very Good+, Very Good. I don't usually sell any record below VG grade unless quite scarce or rare.
Shipping and Handling : I ship to USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia.
All LPs come boxed carefully in corrugated boxes made specifically for LPs, with a filler to protect the cover, plus the LPs are housed in clear plastic LP sleeves. LP is removed from cover (except for SEALED LPs) for shipping to prevent seam splitting. I will notify you by email when your parcel is packed informing you of the shipping date.
