PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING THREE POINTS FIRST:

· I WILL ALLOW THE AUCTION TO RUN ITS COURSE, so please don’t make offers. 

· Most ITEMS ARE SENT USING STANDARD POSTAGE, so PLEASE LET ME KNOW BEFORE PAYING IF TRACKING IS REQUIRED. If you pay for an individual item with Standard Postage charges, I will assume you are happy for it to be dispatched as Standard, without Tracking.

· If purchasing multiple items, PLEASE ALLOW ME TO CONTACT YOU WITH REVISED POSTAGE COSTS BEFORE PAYING. If you pay for each item, including individual Postage charges, I will assume you are happy to meet these costs. For convenience, these items are still likely to be packaged together.

Please read the Item Description through carefully before deciding to purchase this item. I recommend you pay particular attention to the P&P/ Shipping section & the Condition section.

Here is the 2 track UK 7" 45 single High Voltage/ Live Wire by AC/DC from 1976. Housed in a thin card picture sleeve & released on Atlantic Records, the Catalogue Number is K 10860. This example has paper labels & a solid centre. I assume the package was made in the UK for UK release, as that’s where the record was made. What makes this example special is the picture sleeve. In black & white, it features Angus Young in a classic pose on the front. The AC/DC logo appears in the top left. A bolt of lightening (or electrical discharge) stating “New single “HIGH VOLTAGE” runs to Angus’s feet. The Catalogue Number appears in the top right, & the Atlantic logo in the bottom right. On the back, there are details of a 15-date UK tour in October/ November 1976. There are also adverts for the High Voltage LP (K50257) & the forthcoming Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap LP. Writing inside a blank box states “Watch this space for THEIR NEW ALBUM “DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP” K50323”. The bolt of lightening (or electrical discharge) is also present, as well as the Atlantic logo in the bottom right. 

Condition as follows including photographs: The sleeve is in excellent condition, possibly edging towards excellent plus condition. There is very slight creasing, slight wear along the top edge & a small indentation, just under the AC/DC logo. There is slight ring wear to the front & back of the sleeve. The corners have minimal wear. The Vinyl is in excellent/ excellent plus condition. There is occasional slight surface noise intermittently throughout the quieter introduction of Live Wire. I don’t think the surface noise is invasive & so would not expect it to affect your listening pleasure. I always expect some surface noise from records of this age & condition. I have made no attempt to clean the sleeve or vinyl. They are in the exact same condition as when I purchased the single. Obviously, you may wish to clean them yourself. See below for NOTES ON CONDITION*.

In summary, this is a rare opportunity to own a top UK rarity by one of the world’s greatest bands. Although it’s not perfect, it’s in pretty good condition for a 45 year old record. There aren’t many about anyway, but there certainly won’t be many around that are better.

If you would like the item, please use this information to determine whether to proceed with your purchase. This applies to ALL buyers- UK & overseas. I will combine multiple purchases (where compatible) so by all means buy as many items as you want (Within International Weight Limits- Small Parcels 2KG, Printed Papers 5KG). If you purchase more than one item please don't pay until I have contacted you. I will send you an invoice with revised Postage. Although I try to keep costs down where possible by using Standard services, where multiple purchases are made it may sometimes be necessary to use other options.

*NOTES ON CONDITION: I grade according to the Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide & will not necessarily list all individual points in the written description. There will be a blanket grade for each component (sleeve, record etc), which smaller factors fall into. The general appearance will be clearly visible in the photographs. Please study the photographs in detail as they form the bulk of the description. Please be aware that play grading is based on my interpretation of what I hear on my system only. Although it is an honest assessment, it does not automatically follow that you would reach the same conclusion when listening on your own system, as there are so many variables. I DON’T use Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide categories when play grading, just my own judgement.

You shouldn’t have any problems with the transaction but please contact me first if you do.
