Description
This is it: the incredibly rare debut single by legendary Australian pop band The Go-Betweens -- "Lee Remick" b/w "Karen" -- released on the Able Label in 1978 (it was also the first release on that short-lived label). It's my understanding that only 500 copies of this single were pressed, and it has never been reissused in the 7-inch format. It's surely one of the rarest indie-pop singles in existence, and an immeasurable influence on countless bands.
Sleeve: VG+
Vinyl: VG-
While this is not a flawless copy, it's in very acceptable condition (and this record is virtually impossible to find in ANY condition). The sleeve has a moderate crease in the top right-hand corner that is only visible under direct light, as well as a few VERY faint scuffs that are also only visible upon close inspection. The vinyl has some fingerprints and moderate scuffs (plus some significant marks on the B side), but in indirect light it could be mistaken for a M- disc. Most importantly, it plays very well -- no skipping or significant pops. (It actually sounds better than the source disc used for the "Able Label Singles" EP and subsequent CD reissues.) All in all, very impressive condition for a record this rare and this old!
Good luck with your bid! Feel free to send me any questions.
