Galaxie 500 items in the John Peel auction next week
Now that John Peel’s copy of Today has gone beyond my budget I guess I should point out the Galaxie 500 items that are in the John Peel Collection sale that is happening (online) next week.
Lot 193: GALAXIE 500 - TODAY LP (AU 002 - US ORIGINAL PRESSING)
This is an original Aurora copy of Galaxie 500’s first album. It comes with some promo material and the sleeve has been defaced:
An original US copy of Galaxie 500 - Today (AU 002, US original pressing). The record is in Ex+ condition with clean labels. Ex sleeve with 'promo not for sale' written in black pen on the front of the cover. Includes handwritten letter to John Peel and promotional inserts.

Lot 153: ROUGH TRADE - TEST PRESSINGS
Galaxie 500’s This Is Our Music is bundled with a couple of other Rough Trade LPs (Butthole Surfers and Paul Leary) the auction describes them as “test pressings” but the picture shows the full sleeve with the barcode so I suspect that this is just the regular release, with added promo material.
A pack of 3 x LP test pressings from Rough Trade. Titles are Galaxie 500 - This Is Our Music (ROUGH 156, Ex/ Ex+, includes press release), Butthole Surfers - Piouhgd (R2081260, proof sleeve, Ex+/ Ex, includes press release) and Paul Leary - The History Of Dogs (R20812631, proof sleeve, inc press release, Ex+/VG+ with creasing).
Lot 153: ROUGH TRADE - TEST PRESSINGS
I’m not sure what’s happened to Peel’s copy of On Fire.
The auction is 29th July at 10:00 but you can register now and place bids on any items ahead of the auction. Note that you end up paying 28% more than you bid!
