Description
Please, allow me to introduce myself quoting another old rock cliché: maybe I am too young on ebay but too old into this triptych of buy, sell and trade records as I’ve not only been a dedicated follower of collecting but a co-owner of second hand record shops, an A&R executive at record companies, a chief editor in music magazines, a radio dj etc for the last 30 years in Greece! So, a hell of a lot of rare and collectable items such as out-of-print original records, first pressings, special editions, promo samples, white labels, test pressings, magazines, posters, catalogues, memorabilia and other fetish objects of desire in 5, 7, 10 and 12 inches not only from Greece but from all over the world are going to be exhibited through these pages … Turn on and stay tuned!
So, up for auction is a copy of the mega-rare Audiophile vinyl pressing of Kate Bush's classic second album “Lionheart” originally released in the UK in November 1978 on EMI Records. This audiophile pressing was remastered under licence from EMI Electrola by Georg Kamann himself at the EMI Cutting Center in Cologne [Germany] for German based short lived audiophile label ATR. Mastercut Recordings and pressed in very limited quantities of 180 gram virgin vinyl in Germany with Catalogue No. ATR LP 008 and stamped Matrix No. ATR 008 - A 3 [A Side] and ATR 008 - B 3 [B Side] in the late '80s. Also, this alternate version of “Lionheart” lp is placed in a plain polylined paper inner dust bag and housed into a gatefold sleeve with front cover art darker than on the normal releases that bears the printed Atr. logo and catalogue number and shows on reverse a longer printed technical statement of Atr. Audio Trade at the bottom plus photos and lyrics inside.[Collectors Note : These ATR. Mastercut Recordings lps were sold through hi-fi magazines via mail order only. The sonics on this album are staggering, better than any CD or other vinyl pressing] An audiophile recording deleted upon release and unavailable for more than 25 years, this must - have item for every devoted fan of the aural adventurer that Kate Bush is, does not get offered up so often! So, do not miss …
