CONDITION (VINYL VISUAL / SLEEVE) VERY GOOD+ / VERY GOOD+
This copy has seen play but remains in solid condition. There is a light, superficial spindle-drag on the A-Side but otherwise only ultra-fine hairline marks can be seen under an intense. The vinyl retains a great sheen and the hairline marking is not excessively present. This is a very long way away from being a trashed copy! The sleeve is made of a strange material which looks a bit like photographic card. There is some wrinkling of the sleeve around the top edge and along the spine which suggests it has got damp at some point but there is no evidence of staining on the inside of the sleeve which just makes me think it is the strange material responding to the glue which was used to stick the sleeve down. There is some pronounced creasing to both top corners (with the creasing to the top-left being the most pronounced and has caused a crease which follows the outline of the record near the spine in this corner). There is a small crease following the outline of the record on the rear of the sleeve in the bottom left-hand corner. It is worth noting that the glue has come unstruck along the whole of the bottom of the sleeve and the majority of the top of the sleeve but I'm inclined against resealing it because I'm not certain how the strange material will respond to glue (I'd advise against it). Again, like the vinyl this remains a solid copy of the sleeve. It isn't particularly sturdy (the material is relatively thin) and so I doubt they ever survive in mint condition. Solid copy of a very rare 45!
Other Details: Ultra rare punk 45 by a Coventry band with links to The Specials (actually turned-up with a 45 by another Coventry band, God's Toys). Custom pressing of an unknown quantity (presumably in the hundreds at most although they come up for sale so rarely that it could be much lower).
PAYMENT - Terms
Payment is expected within 3 days of auction end. I am relatively relaxed but if it is expected to take longer to make payment I expect the buyer to be proactive about maintaining a dialogue with me. Payment is possible via PayPal and Personal Cheque. Other forms of payment will be considered.
POSTAGE - Terms

This means items with a start price <=£20.00 and which complete with a price< =£20.00 will be sent via standard post. Items with a start price >£20.00 will be advertised with insured & tracked postage. Items which have a start price <=£20.00 but whose final price is >£20.00 will be subject to extra insured postage costs. Multiple purchases will be consolidated usually at a reduced price to the buyer. Please don’t make payment until you receive an invoice from me. If you have special shipping requirements please don’t contact me after you’ve made payment with an extensive (expensive) list. I would expect such requests to be made prior to payment.
