FAUST IV - 1973 UK VIRGIN 1st PRESS - AN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL COPY - NEAR MINT
FAUST IVUK VIRGIN (V 2004) FIRST PRESSING (September 1973)
AN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL COPY IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION
Faust IV is the fourth studio album by the German experimental group Faust, released in 1973.
The album is included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, where it is referred to as a "krautrock classic”.
The band did not release another album for 20 years
PRESSED WITH THE FIRST ISSUE BLACK & WHITE VIRGIN LABELS
FIRST PRESS MATRIX: V 2004 A-1U / V 2004 B-1U
MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/L and 1/RD
THE RECORD IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL BLACK AND CREAM SLEEVE WITH PINCHED SPINE
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER WITH UK PATENT NUMBER AND "MADE IN ENGLAND" PRINTED IN BLUE
Side One:
Krautrock (12:00)
The Sad Skinhead (2:30)
Jennifer (7:00)
Side Two:
Just A Second - Picnic On A Frozen River, Deuxieme Tableau (3:00)
Giggy Smile (8:00)
Läuft... Heisst Das Es Läuft Oder Es Kommt Bald... Läuft (8:00)
It's A Bit Of A Pain (3:07)
LABELS: NEAR MINT
A clean, white and unmarked set of labels with nothing but a few tiny spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like new and even under bright light there is barely a wispy hairline to be seen
VINYL Audio: MINT/NEAR MINT
Plays as-new from start to finish. Just the slightest touch of low-level surface noted on one or two of the quietest/almost silent sections of Side Two - nothing really and absolutely nothing else to fault (and I left this copy untouched so this will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins).
Easily the finest copy I have had the pleasure of listening to and the best sounding copy you could hope to own
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
The matt cover is again like-new. Crisp, clean and sharp with noting to fault bar a small bump to one corner.
The hi-res pictures distort the lines on the cover but they are perfect
