Description
Up for auction here is a copy of the Teen Idles' first 7" from 1981 (second pressing)...and, because I'm a nice guy, an unused sleeve and insert from the first pressing. The second press sleeve is EX, with sloppy glue on the back cover (typical of the early, hand-glued, Dischord records) and the insert is NM. Visually this is EX- and plays beautifully.
The first press sleeve never held a record, but it was folded and trimmed slightly at the edges so that it could fit into an art portfolio and be completely unfolded--it belonged to one of the photographers. It has a scuff on the right-hand side on the front cover that continues onto the back. The unused insert has grubby footprints on the back and obviously spent some time on the ground underneath a box--it's got some tiny holes in it from grit. The footprints are from someone who worked at Yesterday and Today Records...not sure who. The front looks great. THERE IS NO FIRST PRESS VINYL IN THIS AUCTION--JUST A SLEEVE AND INSERT. The first press and second press vinyl are IDENTICAL, however. No changes in pressing plant, label color, etc.
I'm also throwing in a photocopy of a Teen Idles flyer from 1981.

TRADING
Do any of you crazy collectors have the Limp Richerds' self-titled cassette for sale or trade? I'll pay through the nose (or offer generous credit/trades) for a copy! Or any other Limps stuff, for that matter...get in touch if you do!
GRADING
Grading is sleeve first, then the record(s), then the insert (if any). A lot of ebay sellers advertise their used records as "unplayed," which is almost always BS. I will only describe records as unplayed if I got them straight from band members or as dead stock from record stores/distros/labels/etc.
Grades are:
- Still Sealed - Record is still in shrink or loose wrap. I can only grade a sealed record's cover, not the disc itself.
- NM - Near Mint. The record appears brand new with little or no signs of wear, perhaps a few small scuffs from the paper sleeve, but nothing more serious than that. The record should have a beautiful luster. Sleeves show no appreciable wear. The corners may be bumped, but aren't smashed.
- EX - Excellent. The record looks beautiful, but shows signs of being played and handled carefully. There may be a small scuffs on the record, and some spindle trails on the labels, but the record will still have a nice shine to it. Sleeves show minor wear, but nothing noticable.
- VG - Very Good. The record has been used, but not abused. There will be some scuffing, and maybe a couple light scratches. The grooves are starting to lose their luster. Sleeves will show some wear and dirtiness and may have a small split.
- G - Good. The record has been used and abused. It's got scratches and scuffs galore, but will play through. Sleeves will show heavy wear and may have large splits. I do not accept returns or offer refunds on records graded G.
- P - Poor. The record has been thrashed. It will be covered in scratches and scuffs, and may not even play through. Sleeves will be pretty much destroyed: smashed corners, massive splits, writing, and heavy ringwear are to be expected. I do not accept returns or offer refunds on records graded P.
