Ambient 2 (The Plateaux Of Mirror)

1980 Editions EG EGS 202 single LP of Harold Budd / Brian Eno’s Ambient 2 (The Plateaux of Mirror), a 33 1/3 RPM record produced by Brian Eno and printed/marketed in the U.S. by Jem Records as shown on the sleeve and labels. The supplied runout detail for this copy includes EGS-202-A HuB STERLING.

The jacket carries the album’s spare, cartographic-looking cover art: sandy yellow and muted gray fields crossed by blue linework, black marks, and red dotted passages, with the title set cleanly in the upper left. The back is nearly architectural in its restraint, an off-white field with EGS 202 at the upper right, a centered track listing, small production and copyright text along the bottom edge, and the Editions EG logo below the titles.

Black vinyl is housed in a plain white inner sleeve with cream Editions EG labels, including the Ambient imprint text and Budd/Eno credits. Tracks visible on the labels include “First Light,” “Steal Away,” “The Plateaux of Mirror,” “Above Chiangmai,” “An Arc of Doves,” “Not Yet Remembered,” and “Failing Light.” Both record and outer sleeve are graded Very Good Plus; photos show light, age-appropriate corner and edge wear with mild handling to the sleeve, while the disc retains a glossy surface with ordinary visible sleeve and handling traces.
