Blue Lines (Vinyl LP)

Originally released in April 1991 on the Circa imprint through Virgin records, 'Blue Lines' concoction of break beats, sampling and rapping mixed with live instruments, together with influences as diverse as soul, punk, reggae, dub, lover's rock, electro and hip hop, was truly groundbreaking, making it one of the most seminal British albums ever made. From the first track, the ominous, bass-heavy 'Safe From Harm', to the insouciant British rapping on 'Five Man Army' and title track 'Blue Lines', through the album's best-known track, the stone-cold classic 'Unfinished Sympathy', to Horace Andy and Neneh Cherry's sweet vocals on album closer 'Hymn of the Big Wheel' and the album's iconic sleeve (which was designed by the band's d), 'Blue Lines' perfectly distilled all the band's influences into a unique sound and aesthetic that redefined the musical landscape, not just in the UK, but worldwide: one that still reverberates throughout music and culture today.

Our Grading Standards
We grade all vinyl using the Goldmine standard:
Mint (M): Perfect, unplayed condition.
Near Mint (NM): Nearly perfect with minimal signs of handling.
Very Good Plus (VG+): Shows light signs of play but plays with minimal surface noise. The most common grade for collectable vinyl.
Very Good (VG): Noticeable marks and some surface noise, but still an enjoyable listen.
Good (G): Heavy wear — for collectors only.

All records are graded visually and by play. Media and sleeve are graded separately.
