AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1. General Information
Artist: Faust
Title: Faust
Label: Polydor
Catalog Number: 2310 142
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Clear Vinyl
Country: UK
Released: 1971
Genre: Krautrock / Experimental / Psychedelic Rock
2. Description
This is the legendary first UK pressing of one of the most influential albums in the history of experimental music. Designed to be a complete sensory experience, the release features a clear vinyl record housed in a transparent printed sleeve with a transparent insert featuring an X-ray image of a fist. This 1971 UK edition is highly sought after by collectors for its unique metallic silver labels and its status as a pioneering work of the Krautrock movement. Produced by Uwe Nettelbeck and recorded at the Wümme studio, this album remains a definitive statement of avant-garde rock.
3. Condition
Grading Authority: VMG (Vintage Media Grading)
Overall Grade: 8.5 (NM/EX)
Vinyl: 9.5 (Near Mint) – The clear vinyl is in stunning condition, retaining its original luster with virtually no visible imperfections.
Cover: 8.0 (Excellent) – The transparent sleeve remains clear and structurally sound, showing only minor age-related wear typical for this delicate material.
Labels: 7.0 (Very Good Plus) – The metallic silver labels are clean with crisp text.
4. Notes for Collectors
True First Pressing: This is the original 1971 UK issue, characterized by the clear vinyl and the specific "Marketed by Polydor" credit on the insert.
Iconic Packaging: Finding this release with both the transparent outer sleeve and the X-ray insert intact is becoming increasingly difficult, as the plastic materials often yellowed or cracked over the last 50+ years.
Investment Grade: Professionally graded and encapsulated by VMG, ensuring the preservation of the vinyl and the integrity of the grade for long-term investment.
5. Matrix / Labels
Labels: Custom metallic silver Polydor labels with "Made in Germany" print (typical for the UK distribution of this specific release).
