SOD

self titled 7" EP

Year and pressing info: 1985, original 1st and probably only pressing, Swedish release

Label and cat#:  Cross Records (Sweden), CROSS 1

Record condition:  EX, It would have been a NEAR MINT record except that i put skate stickers on the labels. I now regret doing this, but back when i got this new in 85' it came with PLAIN WHITE labels with nothing on them. So like most skate punks i stuck stickers on them. I won't dare try and remove them but you can try. Other then the stickers, the vinyl looks flawless without any scuffs at all.

Cover condition: NM+, cover is in perfect condition with only some very minor creases.

insert: b/w 1 sided insert is in perfect condition. 

I ordered this through the mail directly from the band back in 1985 

-------> THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1985 RELEASE, NOT A BOOTLEG <---------

Very rare and very much sought after by collectors, here is your chance!

from MRR 1985:

"Frantically awesome, this six-songer is a chunky, zooming speed-fest, featuring such a graunched out vocal beset ("Mom Grab Those Little Ones Off the Street...") continues to sweep the senses as the Swedish mayhem goes totally apeshit. Raw, abrasive, intense, energetic, full-blown torching action will make this a new fave. Great!"

-Pushead (from Maximum Rocknroll #29, October 1985)

                                                                from 7INCHCRUST:

"This is Mjölby, not NY: Sweden's S.O.D. started about the same time with Stormtroopers of Death from Big Apple: Their first recorded material was a demo tape from 1983, they released two ep's, Sound of Disaster (1985) and Speak Swedish or Die (1990,Really Fast) and according to Swedish Punk there is the Stabilitet? ep from 1997 on Hepatit D (a copy is still available in this distro) and Lagar Och förordningar boot ep from 2000, they also appeared in some compilations"

 Well, after 30 years of collecting Punk & Hardcore vinyl I never thought this day would come. After switching to CD in the 1990s and then to MP3 in the 2000s, I can't justify keeping my collection any longer so I offer it to you. I started collecting back in 1982 in the San Francisco Bay area where most of my records were purchased new. I moved to Florida in 1986 and still collected up unto the late 1990s. 

I have always treated my records with the most care. None of my original records are less then very good condition and most are in near mint condition. I did collect many used records over the years and also got many from friends that did not treat them so well. Those records will be described in detail as well.  All records will be shipped with a protective plastic sleeve, vinyl removed from cover to protect spine during shipping and 12 inch records will be packaged in a LP designed cardboard mailer. 7 inch records will be packaged in comparable cardboard packaging. Only the best for my old records!

Please check my other auctions for many other killer original hardcore and punk classics all this year!

Over 300 records from 1977-1999 will be up for auction until all sold.

My grading:

MINT (M): New in original un-opened packaging, perfect, never played and like new in every way. I probably won't have many of these since all were played at least once & covers moved around for decades.

NEAR MINT (NM): Opened and played very few times, only very minor visual imperfections. Super clean cover.

EXCELLENT (EX): Played lightly and well cared for, a few light scuffs. Cover may have a few creases or imperfections. Still a very clean record and cover.

VERY GOOD (VG): Has scuffs or light scratches and noticeable signs of heavier wear and handling. Cover may have more visible wear, small rips or small seam splits.

GOOD (G): Has many scuffs and scratches, signs of heavy wear and handling. Cover shows obvious marks, creases, rips, tape, seam splits or wear, labels ripped or written on. Basically not cared for. (these records were the ones I purchased used or received from friends).

+/-: If I have a hard time putting either record or cover into a solid grade.

I am happy to offer a refund where the item does not match my description.
