The vinyl is heavy and the cover is handcrafted art. This is a VERY WELL MADE package. A lot of care obviously went into this so that it would be a special piece, housing some personal work that the artist felt was of value and worthy of an audience. He knew that it wasn't music that would translate to the general public, so he crafted the whole package as something that only true fans of his work, specifically seeking it out, would own. Therefore a lot of thought & toil went into this, & real fans of Damon Albarn or Blur will be ecstatic to own this collectible. It is enjoyable to handle, both texturally and aesthetically pleasing, and the music is unfinished and personal. Something very special for fans willing to seek it out.
I would think also that if you're a fan of GRAHAM COXON and his solo work, this would be of interest.
Hear the way the leader of BLUR goes about working on his own, how he lays his ideas down to tape, & see how the songs take shape by hearing the early forms of his work. The mind that was pitted in the press against fellow songcrafter NOEL GALLAGHER of supposed arch-enemy band OASIS.
See the photos.
There are wonderful touches all over. Windows to look through and see inner parts of the artwork, or whatever part of the vinyl you feel like seeing through the window, depending on how you put the vinyl in!
Democrazy is a 2003 vinyl-only release by Damon Albarn, frontman of British rock band Blur, the animated group Gorillaz and most recently the band The Good, the Bad and the Queen. Albarn recorded these songs, which are little more than demos, during the US leg of Blur's tour for Think Tank in various hotel rooms. He then decided to issue the result, on 8 December that year, in a double 10" vinyl set on his Honest Jon's label limited to 5000 copies. On 22 December Albarn showcased the demos at a live gig in London's Neighbourhood club. One of the songs, I Need A Gun, was extended and performed (as "Dirty Harry") by Gorillaz on their album Demon Days.

If you buy more than one thing we'll keep the postage the same. Look around, there's more!
We are collectors and we want you to get your collectibles in the best condition possible, therefore, unlike many sellers on the great eBay
WE NEVER REMOVE VINYL FROM ITS SLEEVE AND LEAN IT AGAINST ANYTHING
nor do we
REMOVE THE VINYL RECORDS FROM THEIR SLEEVES & LAY THEM DOWN ON A SURFACE TO DISPLAY THEM.
We're rather amazed when we take the care that we do with the vinyl we sell, and then see another seller make more money selling the exact same item
in worse shape, and their picture shows the record out of its cover and out of its sleeve lying on a surface! I believe the "problem" is that we try to describe every item
in detail so that you'll know exactly what you're getting. Many sellers will simply say "excellent" "mint" or "great", having no idea what those terms mean in relation to the Goldmine Grading System. We tell you exactly what you're getting, and even if it's been to hell and back, we still treat it like it's a piece of your mother. Sometimes it's the detail that screws things up, I think. If we were vague, like most sellers, you'd just see the name of the band, the title, and a picture, and you'd buy it. Oh well.
Many sellers seem to have a disregard for the items they're selling and only care about making their pictures look pretty. We only care about the pieces we sell. And you. So you'll see that the records are displayed IN THEIR ORIGINAL SLEEVES, with just a hint of the vinyl showing so that you can see what color they are. If you want to see the vinyl pulled from its sleeve and resting on a dusty surface, look at someone else's auction or blog and then come back to our page and buy our copy in PERFECT SHAPE.
