(Vengeance Records 668 USA 7" Single 1978)

This is an original 1978 USA Picture Sleeve 7" Single. There were, I believe, four pressings of this single in the USA in 1978. They were mainly pressed in small quantities. The most desirable being the "Glow In The Dark" picture sleeve 1st pressing. This copy is the "dark purple sleeve" variation. Also released in 1978. This pressing is the next best thing to the "glow in the dark" pressing. It is still extremely rare. As stated, it was not pressed in large quantities.

This single has a top opening Picture Sleeve which is printed on matte paper sleeve, As stated, the picture sleeve has a dark purple colouration to the front. The rear sleeve has a red/ orange colouration. There is a thin strip of "white border" along the bottom edge only. This is on both sides of the sleeve. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has orange & black "Vengeance" labels. These have a large centre hole. The record has NR 9927-A and NR 9927-B matrix numbers. "JE" is machine etched in the dead wax on both sides.

A classic late 1970's Psychobilly/ Punk/ Garage USA original 7" Single. This is a genuine 1978 USA original Picture Sleeve pressing. It has the "dark purple" Picture Sleeve. As stated, these are the next best thing to the "glow in the dark" sleeve variation. This single is extremely rare . It did not sell particularly well at the time & only had a limited pressing. I have some other rare & collectable 1970's, early 1980's Punk, New Wave and Post-Punk UK Original 7" Singles & LP's for sale. This includes several other "The Cramps" 7" Singles & LP's. So please see my other listings.

Otherwise, there are some light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. The paper picture sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on a few areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. The A-side is in Very Near Excellent condition. The B-side is in Very Good+ condition. Overall, NEAR EXCELLENT condition. Not too far from being in Excellent condition. The labels are in Near Mint condition and show next to no wear.

I have play tested this single in its entirety & it plays Very Near Excellent to Excellent overall, & Excellent+ in some places. There is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in a very few quieter places. There are no clicks or pops. A great audio copy!

I shall place the vinyl into a separate plain paper sleeve. This will protect the original picture 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.

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.

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).

Remember to check out My Other Items Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
