AI ASO / UMERUMONOIZEN LP
PEDAL & TILIQUA RECORDS / 2005 / CAT. NO. PDL-0501 TILIQUA-003
SLEEVE CONDITION EX / VINYL CONDITION EX
Near Mint condition.
“The music of this LP is comprised out of Aso’s first demo/home recordings dating back to 1999. The material predates her initial “Umeromono” CD’s contents. Unlike “Umeromono”, the music she slowly breathes into being through her slow-motion like ‘less is more aesthetic’ on this LP-set sounds even more fragile and desolate than her current recordings. This is partly due to the fact that Aso recorded the whole affair in her bedroom, deploying all the instruments herself and capturing the rudimentary gracefulness of her acid folk escapades directly to tape. The overall atmosphere has a strong ‘low-fi’ fragrance hovering over it without ever compromising the rich musical texture Aso succeeds in conveying out of her stripped-to-the-bare minimum textural approach. The general result is one of organic and sincere beauty, embodying fragility reminiscent to a dew-covered spider’s web. This quality gets even intensified by her soft-poetic angel-voiced whisperings and her fragile, fleeting like husky voice breathing out an erotic naiveté that is lyrical as well as introverted, making it in its own humble way nearly a thing of perfection. She is destined to be one of the unsung queens of the female acid folk pantheon and this recording will be one of its Holy Grails. The disc is housed in a beautiful, heavy textured jacket, doing the music justice. A beauty to behold and to hear. The record will be a one time only limited pressing and will not be reissued on CD or any other format.” – label description

Grading
I've done my best to grade by the Record Collector grading standard as follows:
MINT (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EXCELLENT (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Paypal preferred; I will aim to send a Paypal invoice shortly after the end of the auction. I can also accept a cheque drawn on a UK bank or, if you want to risk it, cash in pounds sterling or euro, sent by registered post. Sorry, but I won't accept bank transfers.

Please bear in mind, I don’t do this for a living and I can only make it to the post office once or twice a week, so it might take a few days for me to post your parcel.

It's been pointed out to me that payment in cash by registered post is not an acceptable payment method on eBay; so payment in cash will not be possible.
