 Greetings and welcome everybody to another of my ebay record listings!  If you made it here, I thank you. Doesn't matter who you are, doesn't matter what you are, in the friendly confines of this lil'ol' bandwidth, you are all welcome here! 
Tonight folks, I have a baseball game to watch...maybe. At the end of 2 innings, we're already down 5-0.  Maybe that won't be my top priority.  But my football team has a preseason game that isn't televised.  But i'm on the internets, so I can at least get the play by play.  I also have some records to put up here and see if anyone wants 'em.  So it's 2 for internet vs. going up & down the stairs to watch a slaughter.  I think i'll be up here for awhile.
Since that's the case, let's see what I have here for you this time.
Oh.
Err...yeahhh...
It's this. 
Folks, this time up, I have a 1985 45 release by Queens, New York based band, Lace. Good luck looking them up on google.  I was going to list this last night but I realized-i'd never listened to it. I did today.  ooooo----ooookaaaaayyyyy...  Folks, this 45 has 2 tracks, Never Let Go / Nervous Breakdown.  Apparently they couldn't decide which song to push, "Breakdown" gets first billing on the cover, but gets side 2, er, "AA"(looks like nothing less than A's for these guys) on the label. Speaking of labels, this is on their own label (Guys!  We made a record!) Lace 001.  I don't know how many of these sold, but I have a feeling more were probably either given away or still in the closet of any of the members.  This band justg couldn't decide which band to follow-KISS, Crue, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Poison, WASP....so they just decided, "Dude, we will be them ALL!".  Nice try guys.  Yes, because I just had to listen, I did so for your sins, ebay people.  "Never Let Go" starts like a ballad, but picks up some steam.  "Nervous Breakdown" has about every cliche possible, but actually...it's the far better of the two songs.  Since metal was never my genre, especially 80's hair metal, perhaps my stance isn't really completely credible.  I will admit that.  But hey, I did hear it, so I did try and take it all in. Now, it's your turn.  The vinyl is in E+ condition, could stand some cleaning, no marks on the vinyl.  My gradings folks, please see below. The cover is still in nice condition, a few light bends, but no tears. Cover gets my E.
In case anyone's wondering, here is my scale for grading.  M - Mint.  Reserved for still factory sealed.  N- Near Mint, opened, no marks whatsoever.  E+, no marks other than a smudge that i'm too lazy to clean.  E, a light mark or 2, probably won't affect play. (why "probably"?  Because everyone claims their hearing is better than the next persons'.) E-, marks or wear that will cause a little audible affectation.  V+, wear that will cause some distortion of some type.  V, V-, P, well, you get the picture

I figure somewhere there's someone who will admit to seeing this band live.  If you know this person, please bid on this and win it.  Wouldn't it be fun to flash this baby in front of their eyes and see the flashbacks begin?

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NON-U.S. BIDDERS!!!!
All items I sell will be sent with a copy of the sale form, printed up from eBay.  I will not "mark item as a gift", just so you can evade import rules.  The people at my post office know me, and they will check overseas packages for inspection.  If you cannot comply with that, please do not bid.

Also, international bidders, the price listed for postage on my listings are for domestic mailing.  I wish I could send overseas for that price, but reality speaks different.  I place a fair price on all international postage.  Watch for the invoice if you win.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All items that are sent to a U.S. address will have delivery confirmation (at my cost) attached, as I have found that it helps...a lot!....to ensure that packages are truly en route to the customer.  This is for both of our sakes.  I will be using USPS "Media Mail" as my primary shipping method, however, if needed, and for an extra charge, I can ship with "Priority Mail", and if i can get away with it for the price, I really like 1st Class, but that's weight-dependent.

Oh yes, if you are the winning bidder, and you are in the Commonwealth of Virginia, I'm afraid you are going to have to fork over the 5% Virginia State Sales Tax.

Paypal is my preferred method of payment, if you need another way, please contact me before bidding.  Or, if you have any other questions about this listing, or any of my listings, please feel free to contact me.  I will answer any & all questions as quickly and concisely as possible.

By the way, I encourage dialog here! Ebay gives sellers the chance to show Questions and Responses in listings.  I want to know your thoughts on all this.  I try and give you folks something to read...come on, what's eatin' you?  Your name won't be known to anyone but me, and I am not ratting you out! Let me know!  Feedback is always good, so far anyways, but what's really on your mind!  Let'er rip!

Oh yeah, one more thing to anyone who is a regular here (or who might start being!)-I have way more stuff, especially records than I can list on ebay.  I already work in a record store (which has nothing to do with my listings, except the ability to ship from there!), so I can't rightly go honking their name here.  But-I am considering asking paypal to let me use them for a side business.  Don't you folks worry any, I won't stop listing like I do now, it's just there's things that sell on ebay, and things that don't, but will otherwise.  If you're getting my drift, keep watching, or drop me a line!

And best of all, though I imagine this is rare.  Or at least didn't sell by the truckload-if you want obscure hair metal for cheap, check out that opening bid!
Please!  Someone win this! I listened, I swear I did!  What more do you want?
