Description
Hello and thank you for choosing to read this advert.
A word of introduction about myself first of all. My name is James and I’m 44 years old living in the North East of England. I’ve been collecting records for the best part of 30 years now and have amassed a vast amount of music of all genres during that time. Now however, it’s time for a bit of clear out. I’m not selling all of my collection but there are some titles I have duplicate copies of and others that I just can’t find time to listen to as much as I’d like to so these are the things that will be offered for sale here.
As I’m quite new to E-Bay I’d like to assure you that you have no need to worry about anything when dealing with me. I have been buying and selling records by mail order for over twenty years now and have satisfied customers and trading partners all over the world. At least 3 well known e-bay dealers, (all with 4 figure feedback figures) buy their stock from me regularly and I have had no complaints from any of them in fact all of them regularly grade the records with a higher grade than I gave them!. All records which I offer here are play graded all the way through on top class equipment and any faults I find no matter how small will be mentioned. Sleeves will be graded to the same exacting standards with any faults or anything else I think you need to know mentioned. Any disputes will be settled to your satisfaction and I will give a full refund to anyone who buys anything and isn’t one hundred per cent happy with their purchase (although this obviously applies to condition only - I can’t guarantee that you’ll like the music!).

Plymouth based hard rock foursome whose sole album has become one of the scarcest UK albums of the period. Musically there’s not much variation between tracks, it’s savage self composed hard rock all the way with fine guitar and vocals, the only variations on the theme are the short opening and closing tracks which show some accoustic folky almost countryish influences.
Condition: Sleeve is laminated on the front only and shows a couple of lamination creases but no real damage, the creases aren’t visible at arms length due to the cover design. The rear sleeve is unlaminated and has some light ringwear, in fact I’ve never had a copy that didn’t have ringwear on the back. There’s also a number written on the back in black ink which I’ve only just spotted. There are no tears anywhere. The top and bottom seams are both unworn as is the spine which has all of the writing clearly legible.
Record itself plays pretty much perfectly. I held this under a harsh light before playing and there are some hairlines visible but no serious marks, despite the hairlines the record retains it’s original shine and is very quiet between tracks, I’m happy to grade it EX.
All in all a decent copy of a rare album which is always sought after. The last copy I had I put on my regular sales list and despite it having a badly damaged sleeve and I still had about twenty people asking about it.
If you decide to bid for this item I wish you luck and if not, well, thanks for looking and remember to look at my other items for sale you may find something more to your taste there.
