The Future Sound Of London Present The Amorphous Androgynous* – Alice In Ultraland

Seriously needs a repress. Demand for this is high. Come on sleepy record execs, reach in your pockets for a quality issue! I won’t be paying the inflated to bursting point prices.

It was advertised as 1000 copies only at the time

My copy is numbered 0054 as printed in the bottom left hand corner.
How many were made ? No idea but it must have an upper limit of 9999 simply by looking at the format in the printed number section, it only has four boxes.
But back in 2005 would they have even sold 9999 copies? I very much doubt it. I mean I got mine from Amazon two weeks after it was released and it's still only "54" so I reckon they made , what 1000 max. But that's just a guess.
But the current vinyl craze was not happening then was it? No it certainly was not. I was considered a massive oddity even by my local audiophile hifi shop back in 2005 when I was lucky enough to be able to totally replace and upgrade my then aging system. Cds we're still king and even I had my doubts about paying so much money for a Rega P7 ,was I even going to use it much? Yes folks times have changed an awful lot since then.
But so glad I did upgrade as I could not afford to do it today what with my illness and forced early retirement. Thank goodness I still have so many great records to sit back and really get involved with.
Sure it's initially expensive as a hobby but if you're a fan how can you price such sheer enjoyment of Sade 's Diamond Life on a Rega via two Arcam P90s, bi- amped/wired into B and W 703s.
The sound and the gut punch of the bass and kick drum is truly awesome.
Sorry I don't want to sound arrogant or boastful here, just trying to convey my utter joy of listening to my vinyl record collection. Some like alcohol, ciggies, drugs or holidays abroad etc, well for me it's always been good rock and pop music. It's my choice, freewill at its finest, right ?
Bye.

EDIT I still own this limited edition pressing and it is mint immaculate condition. So if anyone is serious about buying it, message me, but please be serious as I've had time wasters before. Also responsive been out of print since 2005/6 and mind is number 54/??? Maybe 1000 who knows. So it will at least the highest price sold here, at least..Ok ?

Does anyone know how many copies of this were released on vinyl?

Apparently this is going to be re-released at some point. Copied from their 2021 RSD release:
3 tracks taken from the “ Alice in Ultraland “ album originally released in 2005 on Harvest - this 10” is a pre cursor to the re release of the original full length album

Just LOVE the psych version of AA
an underrated masterpiece

If ever there was an example of a limited number of pressings escalating the selling price of a record this is it.
This actually got a pretty scathing review from boomkat at the time.seems mental that you need £120 plus for a copy of this whilst you can still pick up 'the issness' for a relatively cheap £40 or so.

Great pressing. Could do with a repress as there were never enough released originally.

Middleman's blinkered comment is pretty spot on for me, but horses for courses, we probably need to be put down. Just one thing before the knacker's yard, this isn't FSOL..it's them as AA: so don't expect the same sound.

I've been playing this off and on for the last year, and all I can say is this is some of the sickest psychedelic rock I've ever heard. I grew up with FSOL and I don't care what kinda music they put out. If they can keep this kinda caliber of music going, which they have with their following releases, I'm in ALL THE WAY! These new albums make me totally re-think my love of Pink Floyd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's a pretty bold statement if I don't say so myself.
