Description
Purchased USED at Radio Doctors record store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and stored in a plastic sleeve since acquiring it. I HAVE NEVER PLAYED THIS 7" 4 song EP. Two panel fold out is paper and the top edge is worn and ripply (see pictures of front and back). Bottom edge has some slight wear and a couple of small ripples. The front fold out right top area has some "sticker residue" that is a little tacky to the touch. Back right cover fold out has a slight bend. Cover is somewhat "dingy" from handling. Inside two panel left top corner has a slight fold separation (see picture).
Inner paper sleeve is plain white and in excellent condition with no rips, splits, tears, wrinkling or creases.
Vinyl itself is in excellent shape on Side A, however on Side B there is a long scratch all the way across, and two lighter scratches, not as long, so this will be noisy and quite a few "surface scratches" on the B side, too. Tried to get pictures but my camera doesn't pick it up. Took two shots with my phone camera (see pictures).

Kronstadt Uprising were an anarcho-punk band from Southend-on-Sea, Essex, UK during the 1980s.
Named in tribute to the events of the Kronstadt rebellion the band were formed in 1981 by Steve Pegrum joined by Spencer Blake, Paul Lawson and Andy Fisher (although in 1982 the band were to become a three-piece with Paul Lawson taking on both guitar and vocal duties). Nick 'Filf' Robinson of the Sinyx was also briefly in the band, providing additional guitar. They recorded their first demo late in 1981, a track of which was picked up by Crass and brought the band wider attention on volume two of the Bullshit Detector series of compilation albums released by Crass Records. During the mid-1980s the band moved away from their original anarcho-punk roots, and began to incorporate influences from glam rock as well as acts such as Johnny Thunders. After a period of many line-up changes KU finally split up in 1986.
The band released two EP's, "The Unknown Revolution" (Spiderleg Records) and "Part of the Game" (Dogrock Records). A twenty three track retrospective CD, Insurrection, which includes most of the band's recordings including demo tapes, etc., was released in November 2000.
Part of my personal punk collection.
