(Factory Records FACT 50 UK LP 1981)
This is a 1981 UK Original LP pressing in great condition! The vinyl appears to be very near unplayed! This LP has a heavyweight matte sleeve which is printed on semi-buff pale blue card. This includes the inside, or inner pocket, of the sleeve too. There is no text printed on the spine. It comes with its original company polythene-lined paper inner sleeve. This is printed with the text "FCL PRODUCT Nr.50". It also has the "Factory" logo printed on it. This is printed on both sides of the inner sleeve. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has custom dark blue "Factory" labels. The matrix numbers are as follows:
Side 1: FACT 50 A3 "TOWNHOUSE" is machine stamped in the dead wax. "MPO" is machine etched in the dead wax.

This is a genuine 1981 UK original LP pressing. Hard to find in this great overall condition. I have some other rare & collectible late 1970's, early 1980's UK Punk/ New Wave/ Post Punk LP's & 7" Singles for sale too. Please see my other items.
Sleeve: There is some light or very minor rubbing wear to the corner tips. There is some light, very mild or very minor fading on the top edge to a varying degree. This is not too noticeable. There is some very minor foxing on the top edge too. There is a very light 2 cm hairline pen mark on the rear sleeve. This barely notices under a strong light. There is some light, very mild or very minor fingertip marks on a few areas. The spine is in great condition & shows minimal wear. Overall, Very NEAR EXCELLENT condition.
Vinyl: Looks to be near unplayed! It still gleams like new! There is an extremely minor 1 cm hairline surface rub mark on Side 2. This hardly notices under a strong light. Otherwise, next to no sleeve rubs can be seen when viewed under a strong light. A strong EXCELLENT+ condition. Very close to being in Near Mint condition! The labels are in Very Near Mint condition and show no spindle wear.
The custom company polythene-lined inner sleeve is in Very Near Excellent condition. There is some light, very mild or very minor ringwear & creasing. There are no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Very Near Excellent to Excellent overall, & Excellent+ in many places. There is some light, mild, very mild or very minor crackle in a few quieter places. There are no clicks or pops. Overall, a great audio copy!
I shall place the vinyl into a separate plain paper inner sleeve. This will protect the original inner sleeve from any damage during the shipping process.
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.
NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Minimal wear only.
EX Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. There will be no clicks or pops. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.
NEAR EX Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent. There may be some light or mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing
VG Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.
There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light or mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!
The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.
Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not far from being in "near excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition.
>> Postage Rates
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LPS).
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
