POST-PUNK HOLY GRAIL: 100% GENUINE 1980 UK 1ST PRESSING
Joy Division - Transmission / Novelty 12 Inch Single
Factory Records - FAC 13.12 (Dated 12-9-80)
This is the ultimate, definitive version of Transmission, cut loud and wide on a massive 12-inch disc for the club sound systems of 1980. This true UK first pressing features the legendary George Peckham (A Porky Prime Cut) mastering and Peter Saville's iconic, textured rocket sleeve. It is a stunning, archive-worthy play-copy for serious collectors.
100% AUTHENTIC MATRIX RUN-OUT ETCHINGS:
Side A: FAC 13 (12") A1 EG A PORKY PRIME CUT I'VE SEEN THE REAL ATROCITIES
Side B: FAC 13 (12") B1 EG A PORKY PRIME CUT BURIED IN THE SAND
CONDITION GRADING (Strict Goldmine Standards):
VINYL: EXCELLENT (EX)
Stunning visual condition. The disc retains its deep, brilliant original factory gloss. Under direct inspection beneath intense halogen light, it reveals only a couple of faint, microscopic paper scuffs that have absolutely no impact on audio. It plays beautifully - loud, punchy, dynamic, and clear. Pristine center labels with no spindle wear or writing.
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)
The original, heavily textured cardboard sleeve is in beautiful shape. The iconic embossed artwork remains incredibly crisp. Structurally rigid with a strong, perfectly legible spine. Shows only minor corner softening and faint edge rubbing typical of 45+ years of careful storage. No seam splits, no tears, no writing, and no ring wear.
PROFESSIONAL PACKAGING FOR COLLECTORS:
Shipped in a heavy-duty, dedicated record mailer with double cardboard stiffeners.
Vinyl will be packed outside of the jacket in an anti-static sleeve to prevent seam splits during transit.
Fully tracked, signed-for, and insured delivery.
