The outer card sleeve is easily worn and are usually in a very shabby state. This one is in great condition. No splits or writing, sharp clean edges with only the slightest of wear. The spine is still clean, with 'SHORT CIRCUIT LIVE AT THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS' still legible on the spine.
See photos.
This spine is nearly always very worn.
It has the Blue Vinyl Limited Edition sticker, which was always the case with the Orange Vinyl Promo.
The difference I can see between this and the Blue Vinyl sleeve (also listed) is that this has more of a shine to the sleeve and is a slightly different shade of bluey green.
Grades a strong Excellent
The inner sleeve, which includes a description & photos of the club at the time, is also in great condition with no splits or tears. Sharp edges, showing just a very slight impression of the record.
Graded Excellent
The very rare poster has no tears, splits or writing. A very clean example with just some very small ripples in places.
Grades Excellent
The rare John Dowie EP Another Close Shave VEP 1004 Virgin 1977, on pink vinyl, sent out with the Promo looks and plays great. It retains it's shine with no obvious marks. It plays with just the occasional bit of very slight static here and there.
Graded Excellent
The fragile paper sleeve is also in superb condition. No real issues at all. No tears, splits or writing.
Grades Excellent or better
I can't believe there are many better copies of this super rare Promo Copy. Fully complete with Poster & John Dowie EP
