Description

This is a very nice copy of the experimental Godley and Creme album, Consequences. With dialogue written by and performed by Peter Cook. In fact this album should appeal strongly to any fans of the late great Peter Cook. He plays a very significant part on records 2 and 3. Record 1 is more musical.
I have to point out the one flaw with this item, which is a visible one, not audible. Record 1 has a noticeable warp visible during playback. It does not cause any distortion nor any jumping/skipping. There is a small scratch on side 5. It doesn't stick or jump but it clicks a few times, not intrusive. Otherwise the vinyl is lovely clean with a prominent sheen. 
The booklet box and sleeves are all excellent, although there is a little bit of tape on top right corner. I will put the records in separate paper sleeves for posting. 
"Consequences is the debut album by English pop artists Godley & Creme. It was released in 1977 as a boxed triple-LP.
Created as a concept album, it incorporates a play, with all characters voiced by comedian Peter Cook, and singing by Sarah Vaughan, who was brought into the project by Phonogram after trying to secure Ella Fitzgerald.
The album was released in two abbreviated, single-album versions: an eight-track album, Musical Excerpts from Consequences (1977) and a 10-track album, Music from Consequences (1979). A single was also released, "Five O'clock in the Morning" / "The Flood".
The concept of the album was described at the time as "the story of man's last defence against an irate nature".
The album began as a demonstration record for the 'Gizmotron', or Gizmo. The album was recorded over 18 months at Strawberry Studios in Stockport and The Manor in Shipton-on-Cherwell, Oxfordshire, with Godley, Creme and engineer Martin Lawrence going to extraordinary lengths to create its special effects. At one point, to create the impression that the listener is inside a coffin during a burial, a binaural "head" microphone unit was placed behind a board at the foot of a flight of stairs, while Godley shovelled sand on to it. Three days were spent producing a saxophone sound from an electric guitar; each note of a guitar solo was recorded separately and faded in on the track, which was then sent through a speaker and out of a rubber hose with perforated cigarette paper at the end. Enough pressure was displaced by forcing the sound through the holes of the cigarette paper to give the rasp of a saxophone.
