Interesting story attached to this record. It was pulled out of an unsorted, ‘new in’ pile at my local second hand record shop, Lucky Seven. It certainly looked interesting and had been missed by the gentleman browsing before me. Upon paying for my purchase the shop owner asked to play it on the system and a few ears pricked up. The conversation then went onto how much he should charge for it and that he should check discogs first. I told the gentleman that I needed to work on my poker face and he took pity on me charging me a mere 3 pounds.
I left the shop knowing that I had found something special and couldn’t wait to check how much it was worth. Further down the street I pulled out my iPhone to check Discogs. Much to my excitement I see the record is going for over a hundred euros, at that very moment a leather gloved hand appears over my shoulder and a man on a moped makes off with my expensive smart phone. He had actually come up onto the pavement behind me and snuck up the inside, snatched the phone and driven off all in one move. Needless to say there wasn’t very much I could do about it. I found solace in my newly acquired record. Another check on discogs revealed that I hd in fact bought a bootleg version worth not very much at all.
Bottom line is, be careful with your phone and this is an incredible record, regardless of price. Its from 1981, DJ Harvey plays it and it’s cosmic.
