Snakecharmer - The Damned Album & Unspoiled Cover - 2001 Limited Numbered Edition LP

Rare 2001 Danish Respect Records/Universal Music Denmark label handnumbered limited edition vinyl LP distributed by Sort Sol and employees from Universal Music Denmark as a publicity stunt - the 'Damned' issue is handnumbered on lower back of 250 copies manufactured.

Vinyl has unique labels and the exact same trail off info as the regular 'Snakecharmer' LP and is housed in front and back pasted plain black cover and features the originally intended and ultimately denied artwork for the Snakecharmer album taken from the 1960 Wolf Rilla sci-fi classic 'Village of the Damned'.

For those into the etched trail off matrix information:
side 1: 013481-1A Audiodisc 010404 BA-CR
Side 2: 013481-1 B Audiodisc 010404 BA-CR

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+(+) (Cover):
Vinyl is shiny and with harly any imperfections - next to no surface scuffing only - labels are perfect - overall very close to mint.
Cover has a little opening edge rubbing and a few light creases from edges - a simply extremely nice cover - graded close to near mint/excellent.
