Artist:The Deaf Aids

Title:Do it again/Peep Show/Aren't people strange

Details:  Mega rare 100% original pressing of this much sought after item.

I used to live in Sheffield where the band hail from and know Graham from the band, I am very good friends with his cousin and met him through her, so you can rest assured this is the REAL THING!

This is their mega rare 1st release limited to just 250 copies and is in fantastic condition, I have had this since new and taken good care of it. Even Graham no longer has a copy!

I also have a signed copy of their 'Heroes' 12" single (signed by Graham of course) and may sell this in the future.

I know this is a rare sought after item so no time wasters please, I will start it at £49.99 but will expect to get a good price for one in this superb condition.

Free registered postage for whoever is lucy enough to win.

Happy bidding and good luck.

Below is the write up from 45 Revolutions by Mario Panciera-enjoy

A Sheffield-based band formed in September
1978 as Charles Hawtrey & The Deaf Aids. Early
in 1979 the group – Terry 'Mallender' Gamwells
(aka Terry Gamble, v, ex-Third Reich and 2.3,
see listing), Mark Hornby (gtr, ex-Amoebas,
who replaced the original guitarist John
O’Rourke), Craig Waite (b) and Graham
Hoggard (d, later replaced by Wayne Cleeland)
[sax player Willis was dropped after a few weeks]
– reduced the name to Deaf Aids and gained a
certain local following which increased thanks
to a national tour with The Jags. An EP, co-produced
by their promoter/ financier Mike
Charlesworth, was issued in October 1979 in a
pressing limited to 250 copies (the tracks were
originally recorded as a demo and only released
on vinyl as an afterthought). The 7’’, one of the
rarest singles of the era, includes three
Gamwells-penned songs of a certain quality,
with a particular mention to DO IT AGAIN, a
strong Powerpopper which could have been an
indie hit with appropriate promotion. In mid-
1980 Gamwells, Hoggard and newcomer John
O’Rourke (who had been reinstated in the lineup
replacing Mark Hornby) were arrested after
smashing up the stage with microphone stands
during a Sheffield gig. A second single, HEROES
b/w BORED CHRISTINE, emerged on the
Conspiracy imprint in November 1980 in both
7’’ and 12’’ formats (the latter including two
bonus tracks: BRISTOL STOMP and THE
DOG); two exclusive live versions of HEROES
and BRISTOL STOMP appeared in 1981 on the
WART'N'ALL compilation. In 1982 Deaf Aids
metamorphosed into Bambi-Kino (named after
a Hamburg cinema where The Beatles slept)
who one year later became Urban Pears.

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

 

I have recently moved house and need the space so I am selling off some of my vinyl to a good home.
