Description
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: AUSTRALIA
LABEL: ASTOR CUSTOM PRESSING
YEAR OF ISSUE: 1978
CAT. NO: “A Few Production"
CONDITION: VG/VG+
COMMENTS: Impossibly rare six track ep by Melbourne heavy garage punk band. Tracks are: “The Joke’s On Us/T.A.L.O.I.G.A../Adolph, You Beauty/Disco Tek Wreck (Dedicated To Deniz)/(Do The Manic) To Kill Or Maim, Honey!/Terminal Rock”. First track on side two is dedicated to Deniz Tek of Radio Birdman fame, while the rest of the 33 1/3 ep is an homage to The Stooges/MC5/The Clash but with their own unique brand of Australian punk with everything rolling along at breakneck pace and searing guitar work by Bruce Friday. Folded single-sheet cover has a few creases. Labels have foxing with name written and water mark on side one. Disc has a few scuff marks and there is light crackling between tracks.
MATRIX/RUNOUT: Side One: MA-7208-A2 FM 17/7; Side Two: MA-7208-B X 7/7
GRADINGS: NM- cover still in shrink-wrap/unplayed record; EX perfect in most respects, minor faults only/few, if any, audible defects; VG+ good in most respects, any issues will be described; VG has visible and audible defects (scratches, tears, ringwear, etc) which will be described in full detail. All records are play-graded with a moving-coil cartridge. All lps are cleaned on a Moth mk2 or a VPI 16.5 record cleaner or with Revirginzer. PLEASE NOTE: I am being forced to sell off much of my own personal collection of rare lps and 45s, as well as high-end stereo equipment due to contamination of all my shop stock by a third-party, which has temporarily put me out of business. In order to maintain the continuation of The Velvet Fog, I must let much of my private stock go until this matter is finally resolved.
POSTAGE:Within Australia: one lp is $AU10.00 by registered & insured mail, additional lps are free; one 7" or cd is $AU6.00 by registered & insured mail, additional 7"s or cds are free. Box sets and bulky items may be extra. Pick-up is also available from the shop during regular business hours (everyday except Sunday) - The Velvet Fog, Lower Ground Floor, 118 Katoomba Street, Katoomba, NSW 2780, telephone (02) 47825277. Overseas: one lp is $AU25.00 by registered & insured mail, additional lps are $AU10.00 each; one 7" or cd is $AU15.00 by registered & insured mail, additional 7"s or cds are free (up to four). Double, triple albums, box sets and bulky items may be extra. If you are purchasing more than one item, please wait for an invoice. All parcels are sent by registered mail. All records are carefully packed with cor-flute boards, discs and covers separated and sleeved. Cds have bubble-wrap inserted to prevent disk movement in transit.
PAYMENTS:Within Australia: PayPal or direct deposit. Overseas: PayPal only. Payments by PayPal are to be made within four days of invoice. Returns are possible if there has been an error on my behalf in the description. There are, however, no partial refunds available. 625 (GS 6.9.7 (625))
