Fruits De Mer 'Ex Norwegian + Permanent Clear Light' limited lathe-cut 7" M/NM
Having been lucky enough to secure these in the lucky draw I found that there was also a CD copy in the Schizo Fun Addict charity package, so I have decided to offer this ultra-rare 7" for sale to fund some other music purchases!
I have described it as used whereas like-new would be a better description, since it has only been played once on my Rega RP3, just to see what a lathe-cut record sounds like.
The vinyl is therefore in mint condition, as is the outer sleeve. The inner paper sleeve displays the light creasing associated with the record having been inserted, hence near mint as opposed to mint.
The record will be carefully packaged and promptly despatched once payment is received and cleared. It will be sent with sufficient insurance to cover the cost of damage or loss in the UK via Royal Mail Special Delivery. Alternatively buyers may collect the item by prior arrangement.
IMPORTANT: please note that only United Kingdom is free!
- European and Worldwide buyers will therefore need to fund the full cost of P&P separately, which will need to cover potential loss or damage of the package, and will be charged at cost.
- When the item has been paid for I will package it and invoice the the buyer for postage once the destination is known, so pleasee have some idea of how much this is likely to cost you before committing to buy this record!
- Only when the price of P&P has been received will the package be despatched, and not before.
- If this is unacceptable or you do not understand this, please do not bid on this item!

7" lathe-cut black vinyl Limited to 50 copies sold out in minutes! Ex Norwegian 'It's A Game' Permanent Clear Light 'Corneville Skyline'
I couldn't cope with the idea of no more FdM releases in 2015, so this was a little something to see out the year - a very limited lathe-cut 7" (courtesy of 345rpm.co.uk) featuring two tracks that lifted my spirits when i heard them; they arrived at FdM Towers within a couple of days of each other and seemed to me to work together to make a nicely-balanced split 7".
Finland's Permanent Clear Light will be well-known already to many FdM fans, they have appeared many times on the label; here they contribute an all-new song, which their main man Markku Helin reckons might well be the best thing they're ever committed to vinyl - and who am I to disagree?
Ex Norwegian are appearing on a Fruits de Mer release for the first time. They are, as you might have deduced from the name, based in America; anyway they sent me on spec their version of a song originally recorded by String Driven Thing, who recorded for Charisma in the early 70s, but 'It's A Game' might be more familiar as a 1977 hit for...The Bay City Rollers! (rumour has the the Rollers heard about this impending single and have decided to re-form on the strength of it). A bostin' version, as i might have put it at school in the Midlands 45 years ago, and occasionally still do.
There were just 50 copies cut for sale - only available to FdM club members and all club members had a chance to try to buy a copy I received almost 200 requests!
