Description
MARILLION - MEMORY OF WATER (POSITIVE LIGHT MIX)
HUGELY SOUGHT AFTER + IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!
SUPER RARE SINGLE SIDED WHITFIELD STREET RECORDING STUDIOS PROMO ACETATE!
THE ULTIMATE MARILLION RARITY!
THIS ACETATE CONSISTS OF AN ALUMINIUM DISC COATED WITH BLACK NITROCELLULOSE LACQUER
INTO WHICH THE RECORDS GROOVES HAVE BEEN LATHE CUT
THE EXTRA HOLE YOU CAN SEE ON THE REVERSE OF THE RECORD IS WHERE A SPECIAL PIN SITS TO PREVENT THE RECORD SLIPPING DURING THE CUTTING PROCESS
THESE WERE PRIVATELY PRODUCED BACK IN 1998 AT WHITFIELD STREET RECORDING STUDIOS IN LONDON BY MARILLION AND THE POSITIVE LIGHT BACK TO HELP PROMOTE THE TALES FROM THE ENGINE ROOM REMIX ALBUM
20 COPIES OF THESE WERE PRODUCED AND GIVEN TO TOP DJS SUCH AS PAUL OAKENFOLD TO PLAY IN THEIR SETS
IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT 20 COPIES OF THIS STILL EXIST AS THE LACQUER USED ON THE ALUMINIUM IS NOT INTENDED TO BE AS DURABLE AS A STANDARD RECORD AND EVENTUALLY WEARS OUT (PAUL OAKENFOLD ACTUALLY WORE OUT HIS COPY)
THIS IS NORMAL AS THESE DISCS ARE DESIGNED TO HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF PLAYS.
I BOUGHT THIS BACK IN 2001 AND DUE TO IT'S RARITY HAVE PLAYED IT ONCE
IT PLAYS FINE APART FROM SOME VERY SLIGHT CRACKLE AT THE START
DUE TO THE RARITY, THE FRAGILITY, THE NATURE OF THE PRODUCTION OF THESE DISCS AND ALSO THE NATURE OF THEIR INTENDED USE(DJ PROMOTION) IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT 20 COPIES OF THIS STILL EXIST.
THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN MYSELF
IN SUPERB CONDITION HAS "FROM 1ST BREAK" WRITTEN ON LABEL
THIS DISC IS QUITE HEAVY AND WILL BE SENT VERY WELL PACKAGED
PLEASE NOTE UK POSTAGE IS £10 SPECIAL DELIVERY NOT £7
