Description
MINT CONDITION:
This is the 10" limited vinyl gatefold sleeve version with the artwork stencil.
It has been mine from new, it has been stored upright, treated carefully, and never opened let alone played. It is still sealed as it was when I got it from the shop. I have priced this in view of what other people are selling them for.
There are a couple of small holes in the plastic on the back that I made by accident the other day, when I removed a couple of stickers, but the sleeve there beneath is still unblemished and brand new looking. One is a 2 cm one and the other a 2.5 cm one. There is also a small bit of blu-tack residue on the plastic on the back.
It is Copyright 2003 FatCat Records/PIAS Recordings. It has 3 stickers on it, one on the front that says Sigur Ros, and 2 on the back, one of them with some information about the record label and the bar code.
Let me know if you have specific questions about this or anything else.
"untitled #1", also known as "Vaka" and released as "untitled #1 (a.k.a. "Vaka")" was Sigur Rós' 2003 single andDVD, from the October 2002 album ( ). As late as November 12, 2006, the single remained fifteenth in the Canadian singles chart, having spent a total of 16 weeks in the top 20.[2]
The band closed their set with tracks 2 and 3 from this single during their spring 2003 tour, calling the two songs "Smáskífa" (single) on their set list. Track 2 was originally meant to be a remix of "Vaka" but it turned out into a different song altogether, although some remnants of "Vaka"'s melody can still be heard. Track 3 features a solo on piano by drummer Orri Páll Dýrason. Track 4 is the music looped before and after Sigur Rós' live shows.
The single was released as a 3" limited mini CD, 5" CD with DVD, and as a 10" limited vinyl gatefold sleeve with an artwork stencil. The 3" mini CD was only released in Europe, and is labeled as featuring a new 12 minute track though there are four separate tracks on the disc. The DVD accompanying the 5" CD contains the first three music videos the band has made: "Svefn-g-englar", "Viðrar vel til loftárása" and "Vaka". The menu screen has a video which the band shot of some birds on a wire, with track four from the single playing.
