Laurence Vanay Self-titled (some call it Galaxies) SFP (34.024) 1974
Manufactured in France

I can't believe I'm on my way to separate from this LP... One of the best and rarest french records ever. Its presumed value keeps me from keeping it by my side and that's life, I made my choice... So here is it! A true masterpiece, sublime compositions with or without vocals by Laurence Vanay also known as Jacqueline Thibault, wife of Magma’s bass player Laurent Thibault (who's credited on this record). This music is unique, delicate, melancholic and yet very powerful. According to the nice pictures inside of the gatefold cover, Laurence Vanay seem to be multi-instrumentist (keyboards, guitar, drums) plus performing the main vocal part of all the songs she wrote... Other musicians credited are: Serge Derrien (guitars, flute, vocal), Jean Chevalier (drums, percussions), Laurent Thibault (bass guitar). Track-listing is: Catalepsie, Demain, Le loup qui pleure, La grand-voile, Soleil rouge, Le coeur lourd, Juste te revoir, Le bateau, Deux phares, Galaxies. I placed a low reserve according to this LP's rarity and condition. I know this piece of french musical patrimony will soon belong to another serious collector. May you bid high and take care of this record... In case you secretly wish to meet the deep beauty of Laurence Vanay's music, here's a long sound clip I recorded from the vinyl.

Cover: EX light corner wear, almost inexistant edge wear and two very small traces of fold on left edge.

Vinyl: EX+ almost perfect, fainly visible, totally few, light and small surface scuffs.

Sound check: 10/10. Top pressing quality, excellent sound restitution. Perfect play.

Note about grading: my grading system is NM / EX / VG / G. Unless a record is sealed I won't grade it M. I grade very strictly, expect perfection at NM.

AUDIO FILES AVAILABLE: I recorded quite long and representative sound clips of each record listed. You can easily access to them by clicking the blue link above. If for some reason you couldn't read or download the files, don't hesitate to send me a message throught eBay, I'll answer promptly and will send you a link that will permit an easy download of all my audio. Please note: The sound clips have been recorded with a used cardbridge at a low bitrate, they sound much badder than the records will play. Check the "Sound check" section from my descriptions in order to have a precise information about sound quality. I played each record with a new cardbridge in order to provide a reliable apreciation.

Terms of auction, important things to know and accept before placing a bid:

• I'm also a record collector. My record grading is extremely strict, bid accordingly to the condition staten. Seriousness shall be felt in my descriptions. If this wasn't enough, feel free to check my feedback as a seller, I sell records more and more often and it's always a well done job.
• Records will be securely packed. If you purchase both LPs and 45s, I'll do my best to reduce your shipping costs and make them ship together in the same parcel as long as I can garanty their security, only depending on the quantities of each...
• Feel free to bid on any of my items whatever the currency it is listed in. I'm good at mathematics and use a famous online currency converter. The end of the story is always euros on my bank account...
• Zero feedback bidders must contact me before bidding. I need to know approximately who I'm dealing with. Zero feedback buyers, you are welcome if you introduce yourselves and shortly explain your buying motivation first.
• I just hope I'll sell these records to nice persons, good eBayers and carefull collectors around the world. I'm an enthousiastic music lover, definitely peacefully minded but if you behave without respect and a good sense of responsability, the appropriate feedback will be given with no hesitation.
• The payment has to be made in a reasonable delay as long as you finished with bidding on my auctions: the sooner, the better... Thank you for bidding but do it only if you're able to pay.
• If you intend to use Paypal and you're not someone I know or have never won any of my past auctions, be aware that over GBP 25 or $ 50 total ordering, I will only send records registered. I need to protect myself against Paypal's chargebacks abuses that I know only a rare minority is committing... That's the only way I can proove I have sent your parcel. I'm selling records from my own collection because I have no other choice and I can't afford to let any shady eBayer act badly, ruin all my good work and push me deeper in the financial hole I'm already in... So, unless we know each other or already had at least one positive transaction in the past, you have to pay for registration. Thank you for your comprehension.
• People paying by Paypal who are... ordering under GBP 25 or $ 50 total, french residents (as I can always proove I sent the parcel) , people I know, eBayers I already sold records to, will be in position to ask for an unregistered shipment.
• Worldwide people paying by another way than Paypal will also be in position to ask for an unregistered shipment.
