Description

A bit of history up for sale here. The 6TH release from the Fabled Factory Records. In this first release form they only produced 5000 copies, designed by the Legendary Peter Saville. (Due to the thermographic printing, the factory reportedly burned down. 3 times!)

The vinyl is virtually flawless. The sleeve is obviously well worn yet if you look deeply into it and on its side (with the right light) you can clearly see 4 autographs. Paul and Andy are in one photo. The other two I cannot identify and it would be conjecture for me to list their names.

I was not there for the autographs, I purchased this copy many years ago so I cannot prove provenance. Upon comparison to other autographs they appear to be authentic.

Truly, truly a fantastic artifact in the history of MANY levels of modern music represented here.


Shipped with usps media mail.


The product is a first edition 7" vinyl single by the British band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (O.M.D.), released in 1979 on the Factory record label. Titled "Electricity" / "Almost", the record is graded as Near Mint and comes in a black paper sleeve. This collectible item is signed by the band members and features a catalogue number of FAC 6, representing the UK Factory outlet. The genre of the record is a mix of pop and electronic music, reflecting the popular style of the 1970s era. Made in the United Kingdom, this limited edition record is a must-have for fans and collectors of vintage vinyl.
