Land Of The Kings - First Edition with White Vinyl


A more recent vinyl bootleg allegedly originating from Japan (2013).

In fact, the first edition appeared in 2014 in online auctions and was delivered from Australia.

Since then some "test pressings" limited to 10 copies have "surfaced"

and various further editions have been issued ...

Track List

Side A Side B
FIRST AND LAST AND ALWAYS                   WALK AWAY
BODY AND SOUL EMMA
MARIAN AMPHETAMINE LOGIC
NO TIME TO CRY A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
POSSESSION FLOORSHOW



Source

  • The recording is incomplete, although, it is not known to-date which songs were further played during that gig, (if any).


Cover Art

  • The cover art picture consists of a tone separation from a press photo of Andrew Eldritch,
originally used for an article titled Careless Whispers in Melody Maker, Issue of 16 March 1985
  • The cover art notes:
- TUNE IN TURN ON BURN OUT (altough the tour of that name had been the previous one) and
- NASU DENGAKU MUSIC TOKYO JAPAN LIMITED (supporting the alleged Japanese origin)


Basic Release Notes

   remarkably, Land Of The Kings is the only release from this label
  • Catalogue#: - none given, runouts only
  • Format: 12" vinyl LP
  • Released: ongoing since 2014 (allegedly 2013)


Editions

Various editons of this bootleg have been and are being produced.

Land Of The Kings - Test Pressing
- Cover with A4 Infosheet
Land Of The Kings - Test Pressing
- Black Vinyl in mere Plastic Sleeve


Test Pressings

These have never been seen sold in online auctions and seem to exist
in lists @discogs only. Some people claim to have one, though ...

  • Limited edition of 10 copies
  • White unprinted cover with standard A4 printing paper insert giving
the band name, the track list, the place and date of the recording,
the theme TUNE IN TURN ON BURN OUT and the limited edition note ... /10
  • Black vinyls with plain white labels coming in a blank plastic sleeve
without any real protecting sleeve
  • Runouts: SOM LOK



First Edition

All of these issues have been sold first exclusively from Australia since 2014.

Notes

  • The cover is either a fully white or a fully black standard one without any print and comes with a black and white insert giving the band name, the track list,
the place and date of the recording, the theme TUNE IN TURN ON BURN OUT and the label as NASU DENGAKU MUSIC TOKYO JAPAN LIMITED
  • The vinyls run at 33 ⅓ rpm and have all plain white labels.
  • Runouts: SOMLOK

White cover with insert and grey marbled vinyl
Grey marbled vinyl

First Issues
These appeared in the following order and colours:

  • White vinyls with white cover and b/w insert were the very first to appear (early 2014).
  • They soon were followed by amounts of orange, purple and later also red vinyls.
  • Especially the red vinyls seemed to be clear red rather than opaque.
  • Apart from these, grey marbled vinyls appeared, but more rarely and partly from the US.
  • Anyway, the basic white cover colour would soon (by around April 2014) change to black and
white, orange, purple and red vinyls were henceforth sold in black cover with b/w insert.
  • Here too, some exceptional issues appeared like the black vinyl and the black and purple vinyl shown below.


Second Issue
From 2015 on, these more or less provisional covers were replaced by fully printed glossy covers.

  • The inserts were kept as an addition, while the vinyl colours remained the same as before:
- white, orange, purple, red and grey -
  • The white background of the cover front now shows a b/w print of the Eldritch-face motive,
a large head-and-star logo as well as the band name and the bootleg title.
  • The track list, the place and date of the recording, the theme TUNE IN TURN ON BURN OUT
and the label named as NASU DENGAKU MUSIC TOKYO JAPAN LIMITED is printed in white colour
on the otherwise fully black back of the cover.
  • Sets with all four vinyl colours appeared.


Second Edition


This page is Work in Progress and going to be extended as soon as ever possible


First Issues (2017)

  • Orange covers, white labels, b/w insert,
  • same vinyl colours, though red now mostly opaque,
no more grey ones but yellow ones added instead
  • mostly from Australia, but also from the US



Reissues (2017)

  • with "Coloured Vinyl" sticker, often coming from the UK, the US (rather opaque vinyl), Greece (rather clear vinyl colours) ...
  • Full white unprinted covers with "Coloured Vinyl" sticker on the inserts were also seen.


Third Edition

  • Clear multi-coloured splattered vinyls
  • coming in glossy printed covers of both versions - orange or white - with b/w insert
  • Very limited numbers of copies of up to 10 only, and defined as "colour test runs"
