Kate Bush - Aerial sealed double Vinyl original first press UK issue EMI KBALP01
https://www.discogs.com/Kate-Bush-Aerial/release/588079
This is my spare sealed copy of the brilliant UK double album "Aerial" by Kate Bush. This UK original first pressing version is much sought after now as decent sealed copies are hard to find. This was recently re-issued in a much changed format. The original person playing "The Artist", Rolf Harris, was completely edited out of the recent 2018 reissue and replaced with Kate's son Albert, So this is the only way to get this fabulous album as originally conceived on Vinyl. Comes with a fabulous 12" x 12" 24 page lyric booklet. It's a seriously heavy parcel...
Condition: Still sealed and absolutely mint untouched, rare to find in such perfect condition. Still with original sticker on the front
Provenance: Bought as a back up copy from Sound Knowledge, Marlborough in 2006
Sadly I am under orders to clear out some space in our house as we will be downsizing in a year or so. So a lot of my record collection will have to go. I will try to describe the vinyl / CDs accurately as there are several categories. 1) Boxed in original packaging from supplier. I haven't even removed the tape or cracked open the mailer yet. As good as it gets.... 2) Sealed - records are as supplied. The wrap has never been opened. Next best thing to Boxed.... 3) Not sealed but unplayed - Many manufacturers are now delivering their records unwrapped to cut down on plastic usage and in some cases my records / box sets have been signed and the wrap has been removed to sign the box / record. 4) Not sealed and played - The records have been played on my Rega system, currently a Rega RP10 with Apheta2 MC cartridge. I have always looked after my records, I have cleaned every record that I have ever played on a decent record cleaner, the latest of which I have is the absolute top of the range £2.5K Hannl Aragon from Germany. I have kept a record of when each vinyl was cleaned, so somewhere in the advert it will say something like "Cleaned April 2016" if the record has been played recently.
EVERY opened and played record in my collection is now in either a Mobile Fidelity original master sleeve or Nagaoka 102 sleeve the Japanese equivalent which are static free / scratch free. Some vinyl came with it's own static inner, but if it was a generic paper or card inner I put the record in a mobile fidelity sleeve instead. The Vinyl is now safely stored next to the original inner.
I have also kept a record of where and when I bought a record, so if I have the detail I will tell you the provenance of the vinyl you are buying. If the vinyl or box set is a limited numbered edition I will also tell you what number it is if that number is viewable without breaking a seal.
To do things properly I will only be using quality packaging materials. Smaller parcels of 1 to about 5 records and small box sets will use the original MusicMax Twist mailers with bubble wrap and corner protectors where possible or necessary. Larger Box Sets or multiple record purchases that are too big for the MusicMax Twist mailers will use the Defenda Mailing box with Bubble wrap. I am not a record selling business, I am dismantling my collection in my spare time but I will aim to get all purchases out as quickly as I can, as safely wrapped as possible with a decent courier. Every item will be tracked and need to be signed for.
All items come from a smoke free home and have been stored as perfectly as possible. Due to my main business requirements (Cine Film) we have full air conditioning at home, so the records will have had quite a pleasant time of it....
All sales are UK Only. I will not ship overseas, I'm sorry but it is just too painful. Payment is by Paypal or if you prefer to pay by cash you are welcome to come and pick the item up in person.
If you have any questions please do ask and I will try to answer promptly and accurately.
