ATTENTION THE CURE COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL UK PRESSING OF THE RARELY SEEN(ESPECIALLY IN THIS SUPERB CONDITION)DEBUT 7" BY THE CURE: "KILLING AN ARAB" THAT HARDLY SOLD OR HAD MUCH ATTENTION WHEN ISSUED WAY BACK IN 1978 ON THE INDEPENDENT SMALL WONDER RECORDS LABEL AS WELL AS HAVING THE ORIGINAL PICTURE COVER! THE RECORD HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED 2-3 TIMES AT THE VERY MOST SINCE BOUGHT IN 1978 ALTHOUGH PLEASE NOTE DUE TO YEARS OF STORAGE INSIDE IT'S COVER AND OUTER PVC COVER THE GROOVES HAVE SLIGHTLY "MILKY" SURFACE PATCHES BUT THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THE SOUND OF THE RECORD. THERE ARE THE "STRAWBERRY" DEAD WAX CREDITS DENOTING AN ORIGINAL ISSUE. DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THIS ONE BEING BOUGHT MORE AS A SOUVENIR WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER DECIDING VERY WISELY TO KEEP THIS IN GREAT CONDITION! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN! DUE TO THE VISUAL PATCHES O AM GRADING AS EXCELLENT CONDITION! THE PICTURE COVER HAS A COUPLE OF ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO RIPS,WRITING,STAINING OR REPAIRS! STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS NOT A SMOKER! LOCATING AN ORIGINAL COPY IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THERE WERE VERY FEW PRESSINGS FOR THIS SINGLE IN 1978! DELETED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE WITH THE MAJORITY OF COPIES PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR.THIS 7" IS FANTASTIC! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS WHICH SHOW THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE PICTURE COVER AND BOTH LABELS. A LOW,REALISTIC £10 STARTING PRICE FOR THIS IN DEMAND SINGLE. PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
