The Pogues: Rum, Sodomy & The Lash, Turquoise Vinyl 12" LP, Stiff Records, 1985

The second album  - produced by Elvis Costello - from the legendary Irish/British punk folk band The Pogues, fronted by the late great Shane MacGowan. Now 40 years old, this item is from the original year of release - 1985 - and this pressing was manufactured in Germany and issued on turquoise vinyl.  Please look at my other items.

Catalogue number SEEZ 58. 33 rpm. Glossy colour illustrated front and rear card cover. Plain white paper inner sleeve with circular cut-outs for the labels. Limited edition turquoise vinyl. Please contact seller if disc matrix/run-outs are required.

Please see photos for track-list.

Condition:

Card outer sleeve: Excellent+ condition. Spotlessly clean with very little overall wear; turning to the light I can make out a small patch of possible sticker residue towards the top right corner of the front cover, and that corner is lightly bumped.

Inner sleeve: Excellent+ condition, clean, with little or no wear, just some very light overall rumpling.

Vinyl: Excellent+ condition – this vinyl will have been played once (or twice at most) then taped – as described in seller’s Terms & Conditions, and it looks pretty immaculate.

Seller’s Terms & Conditions

Postage charge for UK buyers:

The postage charge for vinyl records is now dealt with directly by ebay under their ‘Simple Delivery’ system and the seller has no control over this. Multiple purchases seem to be combined under the same postage charge for a single item, which seems a very good deal. Packages for UK buyers are delivered by Evri and, again, the seller has no control over this. Please note that delivery issues are sorted out in timely fashion by ebay.

Postage/shipping charge for overseas (non-UK) buyers:

I am happy to sell to non-UK buyers, but please note that ebay will deal with the postage/shipping charge directly under their Global Shipping Programme (GSP). As at November 2025, packages are being collected by Royal Mail for delivery to the relevant GSP depot in the UK for onward shipping overseas. Buyers should be aware that exports outside of the UK may incur local taxes/duties/tariffs, so please check with your local Customs Office - the seller does not accept any responsibility for any such charges.

My items:

All the vinyl records which I have up for auction are my own personal possessions - I am selling to free up space. All photographs are of the actual items and are NOT stock photos.

Cleaning & Packaging:

All vinyl has been carefully wiped with an anti-static cloth lightly sprayed with Spincare ‘record cleaner for vinyl records’. Items will be robustly packaged to avoid damage in shipping. Each 12" vinyl disc will be inside a brand new, archival quality anti-static, anti-scratch high density (50 micron) polyethylene inner sleeve, rather than being inside the original inner sleeve and cover, this to avoid seam splits in transit. The disc, inside its new polyethylene inner sleeve, along with its original inner sleeve and its original outer cover will be shipped inside a brand new, low density (100 micron/‘maximum protection’) polyethylene outer sleeve. This will be inside a brand new, robust (corrugated/double wall) cardboard vinyl mailer. The mailer will be also packed with at least one brand new, robust (corrugated/double wall) cardboard stiffener to provide extra protection.

Condition assessment/‘grading’:

All items have been visually assessed for condition under good lighting. Any specific possible issues (not general light ‘hairlines’ though) have been checked by a limited ‘play test’ on a turntable ahead of this listing. Please note: (unless stated for certain records, mostly those issued/purchased c.1978-1982) the majority of the records in my listings (mostly those issued c.1983-1990) were taped shortly after issue/purchase and the vinyl has been in storage ever since (since c.1990). Therefore (unless stated for certain records), pretty much all of the vinyl has remained pretty much unplayed since c.1990, unless I mention an aforementioned ‘play test’ to check on a possible specific condition issue for this auction.

In my item description, I am not using any of the formal grading systems vinyl dealer’s use, I’m using my own judgement. In addition to my description, I would strongly urge potential buyers to study the photographs carefully - as these form an essential part of the condition report. As mentioned, all photos were taken by the seller and are of the actual item - none are stock photos. Also, please look out my feedback for vinyl sales!

Matrix/run-out details & track listings on auction listings:

I sometimes include alphanumeric matrix information from the vinyl run-out/‘dead wax’ in the item description. On occasion though I don’t and If potential buyers would like the information, simply message me through ebay during the auction and I will do what I can to provide what is needed. Also, I don’t always including track-listings in the item descriptions, as these can almost always be seen on the photographs, but please message me during the auction if information is required and I have not included it as text in the listing.

Payment method/payment timescale:

PAYPAL preferred but any electronic payment method which ebay accepts is OK.

I would very much appreciate prompt payment by successful buyers, preferably as soon as possible after the auction ends please.
