Description
For sale is one of the most sought after Cocteau Twins "Head Over Heels" LP, 4AD CAD313 1983 First Pressing, Indie Goth Post-Punk.
Cocteau Twins were a Scottish rock band active from 1979 to 1997. They were formed in Grangemouth by Robin Guthrie (guitars, drum machine) and Will Heggie (bass), adding Elizabeth Fraser (vocals) in 1981 and replacing Heggie with multi-instrumentalist Simon Raymonde in 1983. The group earned critical praise for their ethereal, effects-laden sound and the soprano vocals of Fraser, whose lyrics often eschew any recognisable language. They pioneered the 1980s alternative subgenre of dream pop and helped define what would become shoegaze.

This is one of the exciting Post Punk/Indie/Rock album and is one for any serious vinyl collectors.
This particular item is well looked after. That said there will be the usual marks on the record sleeve. Also there will be some hairline marks with the record. Please understand this is not a new reissue but the original pressing so it is more 40 years old.
If you can't accept those condition please don't buy and hoping to have partial refunds because it is described here.

It's time to dislodge my massive collection of records I collect all these years. I have to call it a day after losing my hearing. There are more than 2000 records comprising Classical, Rock and Rock, Folk, Jazz and Pop music. They are mostly the first pressings or second pressing from the era, not the recent reissues which suffer from wrapping and bad sound quality.
