Description

ITEM


Back in the day it was nearly impossible to keep up with the Housemartins' output. They put out single after single in the U.K., each one with a handful of non-LP B-sides, many of which were as good as the LP tracks. If you were a completest like me, you had to have them all.


These eight (8) babies were next to impossible to track down in the U.S. in the mid-80s, but I was one of the determined and faithful and built this collection myself. Each of these were played maybe once each (I'd record off the tracks onto cassette to play in my car). They've been carefully stored for years and the vinyl on each one remains in Near Mint condition (or VG++ at the very least). None of the sleeves have any splits, though there's a touch of light wear to a few of them. 


All in all a spectacular lot that it's come time for me to part with. All original UK pressings:

  • Happy Hour
  • Build
  • Caravan of Love
  • Sheep
  • Five Get Over-Excited
  • Always Something There to Remind Me
  • Me and the Farmer
  • Think for a Minute

Help give these babies a new home!
