The Holy Bible standard LP? (non picture disc) - Forever Delayed

theplague · #1 30-01-2014, 09:16

Has anyone ever seen the non picture disc LP of The Holy Bible?
Does anyone own one? Is it ever up for sale? Would want one pretty bad.

It's real random it's so rare compared to the picture disc.

Any thoughts or info on the subject?

This question pops up now and then...

I don't think anyone knows for 100% sure whether it exists or not, but as far as I'm concerned it doesn't. It can't be confirmed and no one has ever seen a picture of one.. it's all just vague rumours.

There is evidence (in an old special issue of Q magazine) to suggest such an item exists but I think we can determine that it certainly wasn't released.

This is absolutely begging for a 20th anniversary (re)issue!

It's so weird in different ways, most of all that/if they didn't release it.
Thanks for your input.

Hmm, naah, this would have been released earlier, when The Holy Bible was out. Richey vanished some time later.

Maybe the planned to release after the picture disc or maybe there was a problem having them printed hence why they were delayed then cancelled, there are loads of reasons why it could have been scheduled later / cancelled

Well, of course one could come up with various reasons, I still believe it ain't it. Not that long after the album, was out.
Anyway, it's weird all together.
