Description
Sale provides a unique and exceedingly rare opportunity, for beginners and established collectors of rare vinyl alike, to acquire an unplayed copy of the self-titled Jacques Brel Volume 2 album. Released in 1966, on the Fontana record label, this Mono Long Play, near mint vinyl record, with original near mint Fontana outer sleeve and liner bag, was acquired by the seller whilst working for the record company; in London during the late 1970's. Forming part disposal of the Company record library and as an unplayed file copy, this album was never played and has never been played since acquisition by the seller. Visually, the playing surface of the record is unblemished, as anyone wishing to finally play this rare LP would soon discover. Having been stored for many years, together with other rare records currently for sale on ebay and now forming part disposal of my own vast library of original 7" and 12" singles, EP's and albums, accumulated over many years, this is a reluctant sale of a truly treasured possession and a one-off opportunity to acquire this must-have addition to any seriously advanced vinyl record collection. Sale provides a golden opportunity for any fans of Jacques Brel, or indeed, anyone wishing to acquire original French Chanson music, or just generally interested in this musical genre. Although Brel's songs have been covered by a multitude of singers, Scott Walker's versions are truly memorable. The starting price for this auction reflects the condition of the disc, original Fontana outer sleeve and liner bag, which, other than displaying minimal handling wear to the outer sleeve and liner bag, are in terrific condition. So don't delay, start bidding, as I am confident that this rare and highly collectable album will not last very long. The rarity and condition of this item is reflected in the starting price of the auction.
For the technically minded ebayers amongst us, factory stampings and/or hand etchings on the centre "mirror" area of the disc are as follows:
- Fontana TL 5391 A Side - 687931 1L inverted pyramid shape 1 420 - factory stamped during the manufacturing process
- Fontana TL 5391 B Side - 687931 2L inverted pyramid shape 1 420 - factory stamped during the manufacturing process
As part disposal of a vast personal collection of unplayed near-mint popular records, this auction marks the release of yet another very rare example of the genre.
