Cerebral Hemorrhage -  The Roman Way / Stars and Sticks (guitar version) - Illusion Records, IR 00B

7" single with original sleeve.

On offer is a very scarce item indeed: Cerebral Hemorrhage's 1983 single: The Roman Way on Illusion Records IR 00B, the record label owned by the founding and only member of Cerebral Hemorrhage, Dennis Curley in Boston, Massachusetts. The B side features a guitar version of their Stars and Sticks track from their Sticks and Stars double LP released in the same year.  This single is possibly even scarcer than their 1981 debut single (please see my other listing) as I am unable to find any reference to it online. 

Vinyl  Overall EX :

Side 1: EX very clean and clear with much surface gloss and a small number of minuscule marks that disappear when tilted in a the light - there is nothng 'feelable' or anything that would cause any audible displeasure.  There is what appears to a small area of light surface oxidation from when the top portion of the disc was just peeping from the top of the sleeve for a while, but this has had no effect whatsoever on the sound. Sonically this side is very bright and clear with a silent background and no audible 'pops' or 'clicks', or 'ticks' - only a very feint crackle was heard at the very beginning and the very end.

Side 2: EX Exactly as side 1.


Labels

Side 1: EX Bright and clear - no marks whatsoever

Side 2: EX Bright and clear - no marks whatsoever

Outer sleeve VG+: Bright, neat, and crisp - just a light crease to upper front corner which is echoed to upper right rear corner, a very light crease along upper front edge and light disc impression seen form the reverse .

Overall a very nice copy of a very scarce record.

Inspection & grading of records  Generally I do not clean or play vinyl records, although I do use a truth-revealing point source light, ie. sunlight, to expose any likely-looking audible flaws on any record I list. If I find such flaws, then a description of these is provided after a test-play of the relevant side. I will also test-play records on request if required. If an inspection reveals no such likely-looking flaws and that the side is very clear, glossy, and showing either very few or no signs of play, then I will grade that side as either EX or NM, depending on the level of the most minuscule of surface marks.  However with such grades, please bear in mind that there may still be a few noticeable isolated 'ticks' or 'pops' here and there, and/or occasional mild surface noise - records in such condition yet not been played for decades can still accumulate noise, although a deep-groove clean with the appropriate means should make things silent once again.  While any record I list will appear clean, I would advise the purchaser to give their purchases a good clean with the approprite means [although they do have a careful clean before any test-play]. For test-playing, a Pioneer PL-L1000 turntable fitted with either - depending on record condition - a Denon DL-160 cartridge or an AT95e cartridge is used.
Packaging  Records are wrapped and sent within thick, sturdy double-walled card arranged at cross-grain to one another for maximum rigidity - I will never use flimsy mailers made out of thin card. Corners of the package will also be made further rigid and well clear of the corners of the record's outer sleeve.

Delivery & insurance  Delivery is either via Royal Mail, Parcelforce, or any other suitable courier to any world-wide destination including the UK. Delivery is sent with appropriate insurance, and a tracking number - whether for tracked delivery, signed delivery, or both - is always provided. I will also combine and reduce postage costs for multiple purchases. Please let me know if you have a delivery preference other than those shown.

PLEASE NOTE: For destinations outside Europe other than USA, Canada, Australia, Russian Federation, and China, please contact me for a delivery quote.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: I do not charge for packaging, and I am not in the practice of profiting from delivery costs. The delivery rates shown for destinations are realistic and close to what I actually pay - though sometimes the rate is much lower than actual cost, since courier rates for individual countries fluctuate.

Payment (UK) Paypal, Bank Transfer, or Cheque is accepted. Item(s) will be despatched after clearance of funds. Payment details will be supplied.

Payment (overseas) Paypal or electronic funds transfer / Wire Transfer / IBAN/BIC payment. For electronic funds transfer outside EU, a further £7 is required. Item(s) will be despatched after clearance of funds. Payment details will be supplied, and payment must be in GBP or UK Pounds Sterling.

Descriptions I always try my best to be fair and accurate in providing item descriptions, and always give special attention to pointing out any visual and audible flaws or areas of damage. My descriptions are detailed and thorough, so there should not be any unpleasant surprises. Please ask if further information or extra photos are required.

Returns Returns are accepted if the item is materially different from the item description, has reached me in the same condition as when it was first despatched to you, and has reached me within fourteen days from your receiving of the item. For accepted returns, I offer a full refund of the total cost paid, including return postage. I would be grateful if I am notified of any intention to return an item, and all returns must include the original packaging - please place the item to be returned inside its original packaging then with the whole securely placed within sturdy and rigid outer packaging.
