Description
1984 UK release on WSNS Records (WSNS 002)
This is a release by Jordi Valls (aka Vagina Dentata Organ, VDO) from mid-80s. The record contains sermons by Rev. Jim Jones along with singing of the People´s Choir. Some parts of the record were taken from the original People´s Temple Choir record while other parts are from the original on-location recordings during the mass suicide. The original picture disc was a numbered edition of 912 copies, one copy for each dead person. This record is number 253.
Apparently the tapes were obtained through Monte Cazzaza and Genesis P. Orridge of Psychic TV. They are the live recording of the last moments of life while the members are all drinking the poison and dying at the People’s Temple in the remote jungle in Jonestown, Guyana on November 18, 1978. This picture disc features graphic photos of dead bodies from the massacre.
This comes with a booklet containing a partially complete transcript of the recording (there are omissions in the transcript for words which are not clear or decipherable) over 14 pages.
I bought this copy direct from Genesis P Orridge when he had a stall in the Electric Ballroom, Camden Market in the mid 80s.
Disc is in Mint condition and original clear plastic sleeve is included.
This is a very limited edition and is far out of print. It is the original picture disc, not the black vinyl re-release on Temple.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADINGS
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
Plus(+) or Minus(-) may be used from time to time to try to give the buyer a closer idea of the quality of record on offer.
