Description
The holy grail of modern record collecting... A museum worthy piece of punk rock / rock and roll history! Jump on this Never Mind the Bollocks 1st UK Pressing 11-track SPOTS))! (US Import) NOW.
1 of the first 1001-50,000 pressed worldwide (the first 1000 had a plain pink rear sleeve). Preserved in new condition, still sealed in original import shrink wrap exactly as it was sold in the first retail release worldwide! You you may never see another one again...
Media Condition: Mint (M)
Sleeve Condition: Mint (M)
- Rare US Import of 1st UK pressing (11-track 12" with 11 track schematic track listing on the rear sleeve, w/ 7" one-sided single)
- 12" LP w/ 7" one-sided single "Submission." Only a handful of the 11 track LP + 7" single track 1st pressing of the album were exported from the UK for international sale. This is the only known surviving US import version on the market.
- Original green "SPOTS001 sticker": "UK Pressing - includes one-sided single." SPOTS001 sticker is applied to the outside of the still sealed shrink wrap. SPOTS001 is not present on bottom of the sticker because not all of the 11 track 12" LP + 7" single 1st pressings were packaged with the bonus poster insert. Since these US imports did not include a poster, the bottom half of the sticker is cut off and does not show the SPOTS001 footnote.
- The bumpy textured appearance of the shrink wrap is authentic to the 1977 1st UK press export / US import, and indicative of the original hand applied shrink wrapping process for this specific version.
- Shrink wrap also has "imported by Music+" sticker, and "Music Plus $5.99" price tag.
