Description
Elliott Smith—Figure 8—
Special 25-year anniversary Bong Load Records pressing
- Smokey swirl translucent Variant
- 180g Record
- Comes with a Bong Load Records slip mat and 2 special 25 year anniversary stickers!!
- Records are numbered with silver foil. THESE ARE LOW NUMBERS, TOO: 286 & 287 of 2016 pressed. (The one pictured is 285. That one is now playing and annoying my 14-year-old son. I have a lot to teach him! He's part of the tragic infiltration of generic hip hop.
- Great sounding press
- Record comes factory sealed and placed inside of a 3mm poly sleeve along with the slip mat and extra sticker.
Personally, I think the songs on Figure 8 are Elliott's best work, but I am no aficionado of his canon of work. Just a fan. It doesn't get much better that "Wouldn't mama be proud?" Some believe it's XO that is his best, but it really doesn't matter. Just wish he was still around.
If you don't have this record yet, this special Bong Load variant is worth the investment of $60. I think they are already going for $80 or more at other places. Plus these are low numbered editions and I've included an extra Bonk Load sticker (one is also sealed inside) and a collectible Bong Load slip mat. Oh, and the artwork on the cover is nice. It also has a nice crisp finish to the cover and I've include a new 3mm sleeve to keep it protected.
PACKAGING
I appreciate your business and respect the fact that you forked out decent money for a record. I will take the utmost care in securing your package (just see my FEEDBACK). Plus, I order a lot of personal (too much) and store vinyl, and nothing irks me more than receiving a damaged corner or crease, etc. because the shipper didn't reinforce the mailer or use proper contents to keep records from splitting seams.
- All records will come specially packaged using a combination of cardboard flats + bubble and shrink wrap to ensure your record will arrive exactly like it was when it left my secret headquarters.
- I also reinforce the outside corners of the box mailers to keep them from getting crushed or smashed.
ONE LAST NOTE
If you want me to open the record and ship the vinyl outside of the cover with both placed inside the 3mm poly sleeve, I'll be glad to do so. Just send me a message when you place the order. Doing so will totally ensure no seam splits. For those of you fairly new to this, welcome, and the record sealed inside a cover can sometimes be loosely fit when its sealed inside a jacket. When the record hits the mail route, it gets shaken around and sometimes the thinness of the record slices through the inner sleeve and even through the cover itself. However, no one has ever reported this to me in the 15 years of slinging records on ebay.
