This is the genuine, original first pressing.

While the term "MINT" is thrown around quite often in the used record market, I will stand behind the PLAY-GRADED condition of this record as MINT -. The only reason I go for MINT - is there were 2 audible pops on side A.
I have had this record as part of my own, personal record collection since its original release. It has sat (for whatever reason) in it's original jacket and inner sleeve among the other Mr Fingers 12" Singles for nearly 30 years untouched and un-played.

Jacket is heavy-weight, generic, white die-cut which has "118" neatly written in black marker on the top right corner as I have BPM markings on nearly every record in my collection.

The actual record labels are perfect with no markings of any kind. In fact, there is still a slight trail of vinyl on the edge of the spindle hole from the original pressing of the record stamper puncture to create the actual hole.

Currently, there is a copy posted for sale on discogs.com with a price tag of $225.00 and its condition is merely "GOOD".  I cannot stress enough the pristine state of the copy I am offering for sale. The record has a clean, reflective shine with no imperfections visual to the naked eye, nor any audible anomalies when recently played (beyond the two pops as noted in the listing). I have done nothing to attempt removal of these two "pops" as I can not find them when I look at the record. It had been played on a Technics 1200 MKII turntable with a 1 month old Ortofon Concorde Night Club II cartridge and genuine Ortofon stylus. It is also possible the stylus may have removed the imperfections from the surface. I have not played it any additional times.

Because this record is extremely valuable and will be missed within my own record collection, I must place a reserve price of $500.00 on this auction. Please know, I will be happy to answer any questions regarding this or any other item I have available for sale/auction.

I will combine shipping costs for any additional purchases. Once won, this item will be properly packed and shipped with tracking information.

Good luck and happy bidding.
