***CHECK OUT OUR OTHER CARTER USM / INDIE / ALTERNATIVE AUCTIONS THIS WEEK!!!***

The press slated them; the public started to ignore them. So Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine named their next album after a selection in a Martin Amis short story and sang, "You and whose army/Are gonna stop us now?" Few bands could handle such derision this deftly. For one, Worry Bomb begins like most Carter albums end. The crisp piano keys and sudden onslaught of string-washed drums are so stalwart that "Cheap 'n' Cheesy" quickly becomes one of the best songs ever put out by the band. For another, the rest of the album gets better.

"Airplane Food/Airplane Fast Food" is a classic punk-pop update as it leaps from huge bullets of energy to subtle chides against modern "punk" bands for yelling and screaming about nothing. Self-referential panache indeed. Followed by such a radiant beast of the instantly infectious "Young Offender's Mum" or the whispering gem of the sincerely heartbreaking "My Defeatist Attitude," there is also no doubt that this album is firing on all cylinders. More, only somebody who truly hates pop cunning could write off the cheeky "Senile Delinquent" (with lines like, "I'm a f*cking senile delinquent/Delinquent with a capital D/For services to serious drinking/I should get an O.B.E.") or the shouting unity of "Let's Get Tattoos."

Carter USM strut mostly exuberant songwriting and superb "punk/pop/rock/dance/whatever-you-got" good humour in the face of an indifferent world. Yes, Worry Bomb is not the best Carter can do, but it's still an album of such confidence, wit, and ingenuity that any musician would want to stand out against the sky hoping to feel its explosion.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" RECORDS (LPs / 12" SINGLES etc). PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on vinyl records: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" records. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction's end. If you want to bid on more of our auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week's auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week's auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I have no option but to limit 'carried over' transactions to two weeks.
