THROBBING GRISTLE
"HEATHEN EARTH"
(INDUSTRIAL RECORDS - FIRST EDITION)
FRONT COVER
(ONE OF A PAIR - FRONT & INSIDE COVERS)
THIS AUCTION IS FOR AN UNBELIEVABLY RARE (PERHAPS THEE ONLY COPY OF THIS INCREDIBLE ARTEFACT IN EXISTANCE) PIECE OF THROBBING GRISTLE ARTWORK.
IT IS AN ORIGINAL PRINTERS PROOF OF THE THE FRONT COVER OF THE 'HEATHEN EARTH' ALBUM. THIS MEANS THAT IT IS AMONGST THE FIRST EVER COPIES OF THIS COVER EVER PRINTED ON THE PRESS THAT PRODUCED THE RECORD COVERS. THESE ARE USUALLY SIMPLY DESTROYED BY THE PRINTERS AS THE COLOURS ARE NOT FULLY ALLIGNED OR THE OVERLAYS ARE MIS-REGISTERED.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS THESE ARE EXCEPTIONALLY WELL PRINTED. THERE IS A BORDER ROUND THE COVER IMAGE WHICH SHOWS THE REGISTRATION ICONS (USED TO 'MATCH UP' THE COLOUR OVERLAYS) AND ALSO THE LINES TO DENOTE WHERE THE SPINES ARE TO BE FOLDED (THESE ARE NOT VISIBLE ON THE FINAL COPIES OF THE RECORD). SURPRISINGLY, THE REGISTRATION OF THE COLOURS ON THIS SHEET IS SO PERFECT YOU HAVE TO LOOK VERY HARD TO SEE ANY OVERLAYS, BUT THE 'BLEED' OF THE GOLD INK OVER THE DARK MAIN IMAGE IS VISIBLE AT THE VERY BOTTOM WHICH OBVIOUSLY MAKES THIS SHEET ALL THE MORE UNIQUE.
MEASUREMENTS: 65cms X 36cms
CONDITION IS VERY VERY GOOD CONSIDERING THIS SHEET'S AGE, HOWEVER THERE IS A VERY,VERY SMALL (APPROX 1cm) SECTION TORN FROM THE TOP LEFT CORNER (SEE PHOTO). THOUGH THIS COULD BE VERY EASILY REPAIRED. AND A COUPLE OF VIRTUALLY UNNOTICEABLE 'BUMPS' (BOTH APPROX 1mm!!) ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE, NEAR THE LIST OF THOSE PRESENT. THESE COULD BE EASILY 'IRONED OUT' AND TOUCHED UP RESTORING THIS SHEET TO PRISTINE CONDITION. OTHER THAN THOSE TWO VERY MINOR IMPERFECTIONS THIS SHEET IS IN STUNNING CONDITION.
(PLEASE EXCUSE FLASH GLARE IN MAIN PHOTO, AND BLURRING IN OTHERS)
WOULD LOOK AMAZING FRAMED!
DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS RARE CHANCE TO BE THE PROUD OWNER OF THIS ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE PIECE OF THROBBING GRISTLE MEMORABILIA
UK POSTAGE RATES ARE CHANGING SOON SO I WOULDNT WANT TO QUOTE EXACT PRICES BUT I SHOULD IMAGINE UK POSTAGE WOULD BE AROUND £15.00 / OVERSEAS, HOPEFULLY AROUND THE SAME AS DUE TO THE SIZE WHEN WRAPPED UP IN PROTECTIVE CARDBOARD SHEETING IT WOULD HAVE TO BE SENT BY DHL.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, DUE TO THE VALUE OF THIS ITEM I WOULD ONLY SEND IT BY FULLY INSURED RECORDED DELIVERY AT NO EXTRA CHARGE.
CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK & BID IN COMPLETE CONFIDENCE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO HELP.
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR MY FUTURE LISTINGS AS I WILL BE AUCTIONING LOADS MORE OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION OF PUNK AND EARLY INDUSTRIAL MEMORABILIA ON EBAY SHORTLY
HAPPY BIDDING!
