FICTION Records release Cat No FICS001 1979   Sleeve is in excellent condition,solid & crisp, with just some light wear to bottom edge. There are the remnants of some glue residue from the sleeve down the left hand front edge (hardly noticeable). There is a small 1cm piece missing from the right hand back flap. Again this is well stuck down & hardly noticeable (it was like that when I bought it!!) Grades EX++   Vinyl

Side One (killing) has only light surface marking & does play with only occasional background noise. There is some background noise in the run-in groove but it fades before song starts!

Side Two (10.15) has only very light, insignificant surface marking & does play with next to no background noise.

Overall Grade : EX++ plays great. Very rare version of this single with some very minor,insignificant faults!!


All my vinyl is from my own private record collection & has generally been kept in flight cases over the years. Hence the outstanding quality!

All items are sent out Recorded Delivery in custom-produced mailers & stiffeners, made by Covers 33 in Halifax. These cost me 50p each!

I will consider cheaper postage options, if the buyer accepts liability for lost items! Please ask first. I don't aim to make a profit from postage.
