Description
Original & rare German press 1985 12” vinyl three track single, plays brilliantly well. Barbarism Begins At Home (recorded in October 1984), Shakespeare’s Sister & Stretch Out And Wait (both recorded in January 1985).
Matrix / Runout - Runout side 1: RTD 021T A G.P.
Matrix / Runout - Runout side 2: RTD 021T B G.P.
Vinyl: Both sides play back EXCELLENT! No heavy noise, no heavy clicks, no heavy pops. A really decent press. Visually graded at EX. Incredibly clean, a few non audible hairlines under natural light. Further light hairline surface marks are visible under bright light where the vinyl has been in and out of its sleeve. The record has retained its beautiful sheen. Clean labels, minimal scuffing around centre hole from the turntable spindle.
Cover: Visually graded at EX+. Minimal ageing wear is visible but nothing detrimental to its overall stunning appearance. The most notable wear is very slight creasing to the laminate close to the spine. Very slight ring wear (you need to look hard). Colours are clear and vivid. Spine too is in excellent condition. Inner, original white paper sleeve in excellent condition.

If you need any clarification or have a specific postage request please ask.
➡️Record grading:
Near Mint (NM) - The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.
Excellent (E) - Same but I'd tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.
Very Good Plus (VG+) - A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.
Very Good (VG) - It's seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED.
