Description
Fruits de Mer Volume 18 - ROQUETING THROUGH SPACE (rare pressing with red vinyl white label 7" single)
This is my spare copy of Fruit De Mer's excellent LP + 7" package Roqueting Through Space. Having been played a few times it is used - but only just - and in EX++ condition throughout.
The package includes:
- the 12" album
- the ultra-rare 7" single (with red vinyl and white label as opposed to the more common white vinyl and printed label)
- the insert
- the superb gatefold sleeve
- the accompanying model aeroplane and FdM sticker(!)
Please ignore the slightly distorted pictures - I used a wide angle lens. Also, the mottling you can see on the 12" disc comes from the blue marbled effect on the vinyl.
As I say it's all in terrific condition and it's only being sold to make room for more music!
Postage:
- The package will be sent securely packaged in a stout card record mailer.
- Free P&P to UK buyers with additional insurance where necessary.
- I am quoting £10 P&P for EU buyers, but postage will be charged at cost to be worked out after the auction has ended and I will refund if it is less than this.
- Please note though that if insurance is required by non-UK buyers then the buyer will need to request it, and that without insurance they will need to accept full responsibility should the parcel go missing or be damaged in transit. If these terms are not acceptable please do not bid!
Here is FdM Blurb from their Web site:
Our description of spacerock took on an increasingly Germanic accent with some serious detours into parallel universes, as we gradually built up the tracks - and we ended up with so much good stuff, we ended up having to produce a 12" + 7" package, which we then decided to house in a fantastic gatefold sleeve - 19" of commercial madness. We've called it 'Roqueting Through Space' - we don't rightly know why, maybe the cover image gives a clue/excuse - but we booked an ad promoting it in Record Collector, so we had to decide on something.
The cover is courtesy of Gregory Curvey, he of The Luck of Eden Hall, who also feature on the album) - the kind of thing that will have Vertigo, Charisma and Harvest fans drooling.
