Hello! You are looking at a *MEGA RARE* Original First Press vinyl copy of JFA - "Blatant Localism" EP

Placebo Records, PLA-101, 1981.

This is a very rare punk EP. This is an Original First Press, not a reissue or reproduction. The small inner hole identifies the first press, as this copy displays. Very few actual first presses have *ever* surfaced for sale! I found 2 copies of this EP, and both were tight in a slightly oversized plastic sleeve and "sealed" on the back with a piece of scotch tape. This tape was easily removed so I could inspect the record and inserts and take photos. In my opinion, this record is unplayed "new old stock". Overall, the record is graded as NM. Both sides have a lot of gloss and no scratches whatsoever. The labels are vivid with no marks around the spindle hole whatsoever. The inner sheet appears NM and unfolded. The glossy folded outer sleeve is in EX condition, with very minor ringwear at the record perimeter and cebter hole.

A-side Dead Wax Markings: PLA-101 B (etched)

I use the Goldmine Grading Guide, not a made-up system where the grades are actually lower than the standard. I grade conservatively and have created more detailed explanations for enthusiasts in addition to the standard as mentioned below:

M / only sealed items will have this grading.
NM / an immaculate copy that has a known provenance or is an unplayed, opened copy.
EX / no easily identifiable marks on vinyl. High luster. A "top copy".
VG+ / very minor marks, absolutely no feelers. Well taken care of. A "keeper copy".
VG / visible wear or marks that may be audible. A feeler or two, tops. May have tics, but no pops. A "player copy".
VG- / has wear and multiple marks, including feelers. May have a few pops and some background noise, but no skips. A listing at this grade must be a scarce pressing.
G+ / must play through with no skip feelers or warps, or locked grooves. Will have pops and more prevalent background noise. A listing at this grade must be a rare pressing.
