Description

I binged on eBay records so once more I must purge. See my other auctions for more of the same.

What is it?
The Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight (Armageddon ARM 1, 1980)
Yes, indeed.This is an original English copy of the utter masterpiece that is the second Soft Boys LP; it is also a first pressing with an ugly grey label rather than the second one with an ugly pink label. If you are reading this you probably know that this is an amazing record but let me repeat (and yes, I am using capital letters) THIS IS AN AMAZING RECORD. Me and my wife went to see the Soft Boys on our first date so it is agony to let this go, but I just realised we have more than one copy on various formats. For more than one, read approximately seven. That is morally wrong, so I am putting mine up for sale in the hope that someone else will fall in love to the sound of Robyn Hitchcock like me and my wonderful wife (who occasionally reads my record adverts on eBay) and be in my debt forever.

Condition
Sleeve: VERY GOOD: I am super picky by nature, so let me explain; it is in fundamentally great condition for a 30-year-old record.The only problem is that at some point it has been in record shop racks and the spine has a few buffs and bends. Since the front of the sleeve is laminated (while the back is matt) this does not look particularly sightly

Record: VERY GOOD PLUS: Played sparingly and carefully. I am geeky and treat my records nice. Incidentally, my principle (commercial suicide as it may be) is never to grade as MINT unless I know for an absolute fact that the record has never been played before. You can tell by the spindle marks on the label that this has been played a few times, but that does not mean it is in any way damaged.

TRUST MY GRADINGS; I worked in a top London collectors shop for years, and my VG is most people's MINT on eBay.

I recycle packaging when possible; it's cheap and also the right thing to do, people.
