I have struggled to find out anything about this online ... it is the 1983 Brotherhood Of Man album "Lightning Flash" presented as a set of TWO one-sided white label 12" LPs - I presume one has the tracks from Side A and the other has the tracks from Side B of the commercially-released LP, which is the track-listing I have given above. There is no finished sleeve, just the poly lined white paper EMI inners as shown, each with a date stamp in top left and with hand-written details on the labels.

What will make this even more interesting for the collector is that the labels have "Rough Cut" written on them, which I would think means that these are not finished mixes and that they MAY differ from the finished release? I don't know this for sure, of course, but it would appear to be a distinct possibility.

As you can see from the pictures above, the sleeves show signs of age, with record-shaped impression, bends and creases and general signs of use - but they are still intact with no tears or split seams etc. Record 1 (Side A) has a tiny mark at the start of track 2 and also a less visually obvious, longer mark on track 2; both are feelable so will probably cause some 'ticks' when played. There is also a very light (non feelable) surface scuff on track 5 and some very light and hairline surface marks here and there. Record 2 (Side B) has a couple of slightly feelable marks but does have a number of light and very light hairline surface marks dotted around.

N.B. apologies to anyone who was watching this item when it was initially listed last month - I am selling this on behalf of a friend who insisted that they had told me to list it at a set price. I could have sworn that he had asked me to put it up for auction so he was not very pleased with me! Anyway, hopefully for the last time, here it is again at the set price he requested.

Please see all pictures above and if you have any questions or need any more info., don't hesitate to get in touch. 

Cover and labels are as seen in the pictures above (actual item shown) - see below for record grading, which obviously applies to records which have been played ONLY!

Please note that all vinyl is visually graded under a bright halogen bulb - it is only play-graded if specifically stated.

POSTAGE AND PACKING

ELSEWHERE - please select the 'Postage & Payments' tab, then choose your country from the drop-down menu and click on 'get rates'. 

VINYL GRADING

NEW: note that still sealed items will be presumed to be in 'new' condition, but are obviously sold as seen. Any visible signs of wear/storage etc. beneath the shrinkwrap will be mentioned.

MINT: note please note that I will NEVER use the 'MINT' grade, as I think you are asking for trouble! The highest grade for an item that is not new will use will be NM (Near Mint).

NEAR MINT (NM): The record itself is in very close to 'as new' condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in almost perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played a number of times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and maybe some occasional light scratches. If there is any surface noise it will be occasional, light and unobtrusive. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has obviously been played a lot and while it still plays through OK, it will have a lot of surface marks and/or light scratches (maybe also the occasional 'feelable' scratch) and most likely there there will be regular and noticeable surface noise. The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine and/or seam splits, discoloration, etc.  

TERMS & CONDITIONS

*Important* - the ONLY countries I will send to by uninsured mail are as follows: - 

• UK.
• Europe (EU countries ONLY and Norway).
• USA and Canada.
• Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

If you live anywhere else then your parcel MUST be insured, the cost of which is to be covered by the buyer. Very sorry, but NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule.

If you live in a country that I am prepared to send by regular, uninsured mail please bear in mind that I always get a receipt and proof of posting for every item sent, but THERE WILL NOT BE A TRACKING NUMBER UNLESS YOU HAVE PAID FOR INSURED/TRACKED MAIL. Should an item take longer than expected to arrive, I will do everything I can to help, but please don't assume that there is a tracking number! Most overseas buyers seem to assume this, for some reason! If you want the item to be tracked, please choose the 'International Signed For' option at checkout - thanks!

Finally, please note that if your item (or if the combined values of the items in a single parcel) is £20.00 or above, then insurance is compulsory wherever you live. This is an extra £1.10 for 'Signed For' in the UK (up to the value of £50, after which extra cover will need to be paid for by the buyer) or an extra £5.30 for overseas buyers to cover 'International Signed For'.
