AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
These CDs have sold in excess of £1000 at auction and are an excellent investment in the more affordable end of Banksy's work. The CD has the all-important 'BANKSY001' CD ID code on the bottom side of the CD near the centre hole, as pictured. This would have been added during the manufacturing of the CD and is found on genuine examples of Banksy's CD. Banksy and his team replaced a number of Paris Hilton's CDs with these versions in HMV stores around the country. The initial run was of 500 CDs followed by a second run of 1000. This is from the second run.
Banksy visited 42 record stores around the UK switching the original Paris Hilton CDs with his amended copies, placing them in the original sleeves with the barcode so that they could be purchased. Banksy's stunt featured in the national press and as a result, most of the works were removed and destroyed at the time.
The one for sale in this advert is the second edition of 1000 CDs with similar artwork, but with the sticker that was on the outside of the Jewel case on the first 500 copies, now smaller and printed at top right on the front of the booklet. For this edition the CD was a proper mastered CD with printed design rather than the CD-ROM with “Paris” written on the front that had been included in the HMV version.
