Description
On auction for ten days - a sealed copy of David Sylvian's groundbreaking album, 'Blemish'. This was purchased on release direct from SamadhiSound in the US and has been securely stored ever since.
A very well mastered copy, cut on weightier vinyl for a quality experience. In an ideal world, you would be listening to this copy on a Linn Sondek LP12 and with serious amplification. The neighbours would be given the evening off. Blemish sounds astonishingly good on a decent analogue system.
Serious bidders will note that the vinyl version of Blemish contains an additional track, "Trauma" that was only available on the Japanese CD release. These vinyl pressings were limited to 2000 copies and released after the CD, in late 2003.
NB. You are looking at images of my personal copy. The winning bidder will receive a sealed copy which opens into a gatefold outer sleeve with a printed inner sleeve (as shown).

I recommend insuring items at all times to avoid potential disappointment with missing packages.
