Description
All records listed are part of my private collection, with the majority having been bought new in the early to mid 80s in Sydney at legendary shops like White Light, Phantom, Waterfront, and Red Eye. Some were bought via mail from a record club. I've always been extremely fussy in taking care of them and as a result many are in amazing Near Mint condition. A lot of them look Mint but I don't usually class them as such. LPs were always stored in sealable plastic sleeves and stood upright. Singles were also kept in 7" plastic sleeves and upright. This is why a lot of the covers look close to new and the vinyl is so dust-free. More importantly, I hardly ever played them as I had the tendency to put them on cassette and play the tape instead (old school talk). This means that a lot of them don't look played. When played they were done so on a nice Thorens turntable and the stylus was regularly changed. There were some that were bought second-hand but I always tried to choose nice copies.
Each record is listened to prior to listing so you can bid on it with confidence.
A MINT record looks like new with no marks on it. A NEAR MINT record is a record that is virtually in As New condition with maybe one or two almost invisible marks and often no marks at all. An EX record is in great condition with a few hairline marks that don't affect the sound. All records will be expertly packed using a cardboard box with packing foam and or bubble wrap. The vinyl is removed from the covers and printed inners to avoid seam splits. This offers excellent protection to the records you've just spent money on. I can do a combined invoice if you buy more than 1 item. Just request an invoice before paying.
NEW RACE / THE FIRST AND THE LAST / Sleeve: EX / Disc : EX / 1982 / WEA / 600120
First and rare Australian pressing. Comes with the original printed inner sleeve. Slight mystery to this copy, as it has a small sticker in the upper left corner with the number 373 on it. The sticker blends with the black background and looks very much like it was from the printers or record company.
Really really nice condition on this record. Just a few wisps from the inner sleeve. Maybe NM. It sounds absolutely fantastic as well with not even the slightest click or pop. The labels are immaculate and don't even have spindle marks. The cover has the faintest of ring marks at the top but otherwise great. Excellent seams and spine. The inner sleeve has no splits and looks NM
