Title: The Emperor's New Music

Artist: Gerry And The Holograms

Country: UK

Release Date: 1979

Label: Absurd

Catalogue Number: Absurd 5
Other Info: Original issue, the ultimate DIY Punk artefact!  A piece of Punk history in art!  Released by Absurd Records with no actual tunes!  Old Rabid Records issues (in this case ' The Nosebleeds ?– Ain't Bin To No Music School') were painted over then glue spread all over the vinyl to make both sides unplayable.  A DIY printed label stuck on one side.  The home made DIY 'sleeve' was glued to one side of the paper inner. 
Just to clarify:  THERE IS NO MUSIC ON EITHER SIDE.  THE RECORD IS UNPLAYABLE.  IT WAS PRODUCED THIS WAY AS THE ULTIMATE PIECE OF PUNK ART.


  Record Condition

Vinyl Visually Looks: VG+ (the homemade DIY thin paper sleeve is all intact, just has some light storage creasing to top at sleeve opening.)

Vinyl Visually Looks: Not applicable, remember it was produced to not be playable!

Postage
I do not allow records to be personally collected.  All must be sent via postal or courier service.

I will post to most but not all countries in the World. 

I will combine postage if you buy more than one item.  Please wait for me to send you a revised invoice to charge you postage at cost.  Postage costs are the same for 1-3 records.

All records are sent in manufactured record mailers with cardboard stiffeners. The vinyl and cover are separated to avoid seam splits in transit.
I calculate postage using the Royal mail postage calculator. I charge an extra 50p for packing materials as i buy specialist record mailers and stiffeners. Sometimes records cost less to mail than i expect. In these cases i try to refund the difference.

Grading Conditions
I grade the records condition visually only, unless I state what the record actually plays like and provide an audio MP3 sample.  This is because I do not always have time to play everything, so bear this in mind. 

I am strict with my grading so you can feel confident in my conclusions. My feedback will reflect this. 

I do NOT use the grading ‘MINT’ (other than the very rare occasion the record is still sealed).  My ‘EXCELLENT’ grading will mean the record will still have a full sheen with clean vinyl and the sleeve will be free from rips, tears, seam splits.  Any further information like slight defects or type of sleeve will be in brackets after the grading. 

Anyone unhappy solely with my visual grading can return item for refund. However if I have provided pictures and sound files then I do not accept returns on basis of condition. 


MINT: Only used if sealed.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some light signs of having been played, but there is very little or no lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has obviously been over played, and will probably display deterioration in sound quality, it will probably have lots of fine lines and the odd scratch. Wear and tear on the cover or extra items.
