GUIDED BY VOICES
PROPELLER
PROPELLER WAS ISSUED IN 1992 ON ROCKATHON RECORDS IN A LIMITED RUN OF ONLY 500 COPIES. HERE WE FIND NUMBER 384 OF THE SERIES. EACH COVER IS DIFFERENT FROM ALL OF THE OTHERS. THIS ONE FEATURES A PICTURE OF A WOMAN AND A STATUE, WHICH HAS BEEN PASTED ON, THEN HAND-COLORED. THE WOMAN IS LOOKING AT AND EMULATING THE POSE OF THE STATUE. THE BLUE COLOR SEEN ON THE FRONT IS HAND-TINTED IN MARKER. OUTLINES ARE DONE IN A FINE-POINT BLUE MARKER OF A DIFFERENT SHADE. AT THE BASE OF THE STATUE IS WRITTEN (NOT ETCHED IN STONE) "PROPELLER GUIDED BY VOICES", A NICE TOUCH. THE STATUE WAS ALSO HIGHLIGHTED BY A BIT OF WHITE PAINT. THE TITLE AND BAND NAME WERE DONE IN BLACK MAGIC MARKER, I WOULD SAY. VERY NICE, VERY HOME-MADE. GOOGLE PROPELLERGALLERY IF YOU WISH TO SEE OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS GROOVY RECORD. NONE OF THE OTHERS LOOK LIKE THIS ONE.
THE RECORD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT HAS BEEN PLAYED, BUT GENTLY. I CAN ONLY SEE ONE SCRATCH, WHICH DOES NOT AFFECT PLAY OF THE RECORD. THE OCCASIONAL POP WAS HEARD WHEN I PLAYED THE RECORD BUT A "NITTY GRITTY" WOULD BE ABLE TO REMOVE THESE IF YOU WISH. THE COVER HAS SEEN SOME WEAR, BUT NOT THE TOTAL PUNK ROCK TREATMENT. SOME OF THE MAGIC MARKER ON THE FRONT MAY HAVE BEEN WORN OFF, BUT I DO NOT DOUBT THAT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHEN IT WAS "MADE". ALCOHOL OR ILLICIT SUBSTANCES MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED, WHO KNOWS. THERE IS A SMEAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PASTED ART ON THE FRONT, WHICH LOOKS TO ME LIKE IT IS THE GLUE WITH WHICH THE ART WAS PASTED. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SLIGHT CREASES IN THE CARDBOARD OF THE COVER. NOT BAD, BUT I WANT TO DO FULL DISCLOSURE HERE. THE ART ON THE BACK COVER WAS PASTED ON UPSIDE DOWN, AND SLIGHTLY CROOKED. ALSO, THE GLUE DID NOT MAKE IT ONTO THE WHOLE OF THE PAPER, SO THE BOTTOM IS NOT COMPLETELY GLUED ON, AND CURLS AROUND THE ALBUM COVER JUST A BIT. THIS COULD EASILY BE GLUED DOWN, BUT I HAVE CHOSEN TO LEAVE IT IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE. IF YOU'VE SEEN GBV PLAY, LIVE OR ON DVD, YOU KNOW HOW THE END OF THE SET GOES. I BET THIS BACK WAS GLUED ON IN A SIMILAR MINDSET, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. THE LABELS OF THE RECORD ARE BLANK. THE RECORD HAS ETCHINGS IN THE TRAIL-OFF GROOVES, WHICH SAY "OLD AGE NO AGE PROPELLER SIDE A" ON ONE SIDE AND "AMREP TELLEGEWE PROPELLER SIDE AA" ON THE OTHER SIDE WITH A CURLING ARROW ADORNING EACH OF THESE ETCHINGS. DESCRIPTION DOES NOT DO THIS JUSTICE. FURTHER, (AND I HAVE NOT SEEN THE RECORD DESCRIBED THIS WAY BEFORE) IF YOU HOLD IT TO THE LIGHT, YOU SEE THAT IT IS NOT BLACK VINYL. IT'S BROWN VINYL, AND YOU CAN SEE THROUGH IT. SO, THAT WILL MAKE IT A GREAT PARTY FAVORITE, IF ALL THESE OTHER POINTS WERE NOT ENOUGH.
BECAUSE I HAVE FAITH IN HUMANITY AND AM CURIOUS ABOUT TEMPTING FATE, I WILL BE STARTING THE BIDDING AT ONE PENNY. HEY, IT COULD BE A HECK OF A BARGAIN, RIGHT? I WILL ALSO OFFER PRIORITY MAIL TO THE LOWER 48 FREE OF CHARGE. I'LL PACK IT SECURELY, SO THAT IT WILL ARRIVE SAFELY.
I WILL ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL AS PAYMENT.
NO RETURNS.
