CONDITION: VINYL EXCELLENT The vinyl is beautifully clean and bright on both sides, with only very slight signs of play and clean labels with only minimal spindle lines.
Normally I would grade a record with this lack of play as NEAR MINT, but this release is rare because so many copies of an already small run were poorly pressed and were subsequently not distributed by RCA.
This pressing, like others I have seen, has some very small lumps in the vinyl that cause pops and crackle in places.
The two largest lumps cause five consecutive pops during Everyone s Gone To War and six during Who s To Die .
That said, I would still play grade the sound reproduction as EXCELLENT- on both sides.
Audio gradings can be subjective from ear to ear and system to system, but I think that this is still a fair assessment and grading of an imperfect pressing.The inner sleeve is the original plain white die-cut paper inner bag which is clean with only minor signs of handling.
There is a blue Co-op stamp ask your parents kids in the top left hand corner.
Along with this, the record will be dispatched in a new polylined paper inner bag.SLEEVE EXCELLENT The West Brothers sleeve has a clean laminated front cover which retains its bright original colours.
There is a half moon crease near the bottom right hand corner and a light crease near the top right hand corner.
There is no obvious rubbing to three of the corners, the exception being slight wear to the lower right hand corner, and there is no wear to any of the non-opening edges.
The spine is clean and unmarked with fully readable printing.
The unlaminated purple back cover has typical 43 year old ringwear along the left opening side but is otherwise clean.AN EXCELLENT ORIGINAL COPY OF THIS BRITISH ACID FOLK RARITY Please take a look at my eBay shop for more rare and collectable vinyl - I am always happy to combine shipping costs if you wish to buy more than one item.PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER RARE COLLECTABLE RECORDS CDs ON eBAY NOW If you are thinking of buying this item please carry on reading BEFORE you bid.

ABOUT ME: If you haven t done business with me before my name is ANDY HIBBERD.
I am based in England and own a real, old-fashioned record shop called 101 COLLECTORS RECORDS in Farnham, on the Surrey/Hampshire borders, about one hour out of central London.
I am proud to have over 1,685 SATISFIED ONLINE CUSTOMERS after over nine years of trouble-free eBay selling, so I was naturally very disappointed to have only recently lost my 100 feedback score due to just one, unethical, Russian buyer who tried to scam me.
Please rest assured, you can buy with confidence and all of my listings are covered by my 100 refund policy should you be unhappy with your purchase in any way.
I deal in old and collectable records, CDs, DVDs and music memorabilia in most genres, as well as new vinyl and CD releases and re-issues.
95 of my business is done in the shop, with my eBay sales offering just a, hopefully tantalising, taste of my overall stock.
Please feel free to get in touch if you need any further information about this item, if you have any questions about what s currently in stock, or if you need any advice about selling a collection.
I can be contacted on 01252 734409 between 10am - 5.30pm Monday to Saturday.
I am always happy to receive your Wants Lists, but I sometimes file them carefully under bits of paper, which are in turn under slightly larger pieces of paper, that aren t always where I thought I had left them.
This could be blamed on incompetence on my part, but I prefer to blame it on the pixies that clearly infest my shop and move things about after I have gone home, the little bastards.
However, I will do my very best to find what you want a immediately, b the day after you have found it elsewhere, or c about a year after you have quite frankly lost the will to live.
That said, I do appreciate your interest in this listing.
If you are thinking of bidding, please make sure that you have read the description and P P costs carefully, and take the time to look at my Returns Policy.
Also, please check out my Feedback comments and past sales - I am not an anonymous internet seller but a responsible pixies permitting and contactable UK record dealer.
Thank you.
Andy 101 COLLECTORS RECORDS 101 West Street, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 7EN, UK GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BIDDING.
