Description

Timeless album from electronic pioneers The Black Dog - I think it was their second, but the first as just "Black Dog". Probably their best work - from the halcyon early days of experimental techno, and the sound that became "IDM", when you could be cutting edge and still very musical and accessible. Packed full of wonderful melody and creativity. This is the original 1993 pressing - and since it was released on GPR, not Warp, I don't think any vinyl reissue is that likely in future (although who knows?).

Condition

Side one, three & four are in excellent condition - only a couple of faint hairlines. Side two has two noticeable marks, but they are entirely cosmetic. 
Unfortunately I don't have decks any more to check playback, but when I last did it played fine.
See photos for more details on sleeve, labels. This record was part of my personal collection, so it was one I actually played.

And please also note - I cannot provide sound clips, nor any additional photos other than those included.


Offers

Offers are disabled for a reason - the price is set. So if you send me messages with offers I will ignore them, sorry. 

Postage

Domestic (UK) postage is handled by eBay. This means I cannot offer any discounts, send a different way, or send to a different address than is on the invoice. I think eBay may allow a postage discount for buyers who buy more than one order - but I don't have any visibility on this.

International postage is handled by me, so I can apply combined postage discounts. If you need to know the combined cost before ordering please send me a message.


Questions

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions - although if your question is already answered in this description, I may not reply.
