Experimental & alternative is the best way to describe this Synth Pop Rock from South Africa (actually bizzare also comes to mind!)
These appear to be pre-production copies due to the paper, non-litho printed record label and the hand created cover artwork (graphics are stuck onto the plain card cover).
THE STYLE VULTURES - Lo Tec & Revolutionary (album title as marked on the cover but this is not indicated on the record label)
Empire Vision
Cat# EV001-4/1-3
Matrix code (etched):
EVO001 A
No marking in the run-out area on Side B
1992
South African (Durban) release
Plain black cover with "stuck on" graphics is in excellent condition. Note that the cover indicates the catalogue number is EV004 although the matrix code is EV001 and the catalogue number on the record label is EV001-4/1-3 Confused? You and me both! The record label on one copy is Red/Black/White and the other copy has a record label Blue/Black/White - otherwise they are identical. These appear to be pre-production copies due to the paper, non-litho printed record label and the hand created cover artwork (graphics are stuck onto the plain card cover). Included is a single sheet lyrics and credit sheet.
New inner liner sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can only see a couple of very light scratches/marks on either side. I then played the album ENTIRELY, every single track, and there are no significant issues with surface noise or click/pops but oh my word, peculiar electro synth pop for sure!
New outer protective plastic sleeve
Tracks: Lovestation, Vigil! Vigil!, Hip-Hip Yo Yo!, Shes So Tired, You Never Listen, The Mist That Forests Breathe, Vigil! Vigil! - Midnight Mass mix, Cry On Your Face
