Muse - Muscle Museum
Please take a look at my other items for more rarities. Thanks.
Increasingly rare 7" vinyl single that was signed by all three band members for a limited edition run of 1000 copies.
Unlike the 'standard' issue, this rarity is housed in a distinguished (differently designed) yellow sleeve and pressed on transparent clear vinyl. As already mentioned, only this specific edition was signed - later copies were not. This is an exceptionally collectable piece for Muse fans or admirers of the 1990s/2000s music in general, as this single (from their debut album) pretty much marks the beginning of their illustrious career.
For something that was pressed in 1999, this must surely be one of the best remaining copies of those 1000 issued, as it looks to me as though the vinyl has been barely played, if ever. You can tell this by the spindle hole still retaining that loose bit of plastic from the cutting machine - this quickly wears off upon playing the disc (the fact its still there suggests it can't of been played much). The playing surface has a fantastic sheen and would surely grade at the EX mark. A fantastic example.
The cover is similarly well-preserved, showing only a couple of creases to the back cover (pictured). Besides that, the corners are sharp and the colours are still vibrant. No unwanted writing, no tears, no splits, no heavy scuffs - just a superb example. Text is fully legible and signatures are bold and perfectly visible. I would be happy to grade this as a VG+, only downgraded because of the slight creasing to the back. Compared the majority of copies which turn up I, again, suspect this is one of the better copies of those 1000 remaining.
Royal Mail 1st Class, and I will look to add some sort of extra insurance (at no extra cost) so this may possibly be 'signed for' too.
Many thanks
