About this Item

The 1998 release of " One Cut - Cut Commander " holds a special place in both music and art history, as it features what is widely recognized as Banksys first-ever record cover design. This early work, created before Banksys meteoric rise to global fame, showcases his raw stencil aesthetic and politically charged imagery. The album cover, now showing natural foxing spots due to age, is a rare and highly collectible artifact that marks the intersection of underground music and the formative years of one of the most influential street artists of all time. *** Please note : Cover has foxing spots, as can be seen on the photos. *** Record is presented in an exclusive Plexiglass showcase. Case dimensions: approx. 50 × 50 x 4 cm *** The cover art features a militarized tank equipped with a satellite dish a striking symbol of technological warfare and surveillance, themes that Banksy would continue to explore throughout his career. The hand-stenciled design reflects his guerrilla-style approach to street art, emphasizing both immediacy and social critique. This piece is an essential part of Banksy s early period, where his bold, satirical works first started gaining recognition in alternative music and art circles. *** Unique Provenance : This vinyl record comes from a specialized collection focused on album covers designed by world-renowned artists.
