PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER RECORDS FOR SALE !  --  ALSO CHECK OUT MY RECENT FEEDBACK. I HAVE BEEN BUYING & SELLING ON EBAY SINCE 2003 AND STILL MAINTAINED A 100% RATING.  HONESTY IS MY PRIORITY IN ALL TRANSACTIONS, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE.

I'M  51 THIS YEAR AND I GOT INTO PUNK WHEN IT FIRST STARTED TO HAPPEN IN THE UK, BACK IN THE SUMMER OF 1976 WHEN I WAS A MERE BOY OF 17 SUMMERS. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE THE PISTOLS LIVE IN OCTOBER / NOVEMBER OF THAT YEAR AND IT CHANGED MY ATTITUDE TO POP / ROCK MUSIC FOREVER ( AND I'LL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO THEM ).

BECAUSE I GOT HEAVILY INTO PUNK MUSIC AT ITS BIRTH, I WAS AROUND TO BUY SOME OF THE EARLIEST RELEASES ( I SOLD QUITE A FEW PRETTY RARE UK SINGLES ON EBAY A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK AND SOLD A FEW MORE RECENTLY ). I BOUGHT THIS SINGLE THE WEEK IT WAS RELEASED (PROBABLY THE DAY OF RELEASE, AS I WAS KEEN AS MUSTARD BACK THEN)

FOR AUCTION HERE IS A PRETTY SOUGHT AFTER RECORD FROM THE PUNK ERA  -  NEW ROSE by THE DAMNED ON THE STIFF LABEL ( BUY 6 ), PRODUCED BY NICK LOWE. ON THE REVERSE / B SIDE  IS HELP (A PUNKED UP VERSION OF THE BEATLES SONG). IT COMES IN A NICE DELGA PICTURE SLEEVE.

THIS WONT BE A PURCHASE FOR THE BUYER, IT WILL BE AN INVESTMENT, AS THIS RECORD WILL ONLY INCREASE IN VALUE (IF LOOKED AFTER) AS THE YEARS ROLL BY.

CHECK OUT www.punk77.co.uk/linkpage/punkbands.htm  FOR MORE INFO ON THE DAMNED. ALSO CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS, AS I WILL BE SELLING A COUPLE MORE PUNK  / NEW WAVE SINGLES AND ALBUMS  SOON.

CONDITION:  -  I WOULD GRADE THE RECORD AND SLEEVE AS BEING ' GOOD '  (YOU MIGHT GRADE IT EVEN BETTER. I WOULD RATHER ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION, AS I'M NO EXPERT WHEN IT COMES TO SELLING VINYL - PUT IT THIS WAY, I DOUBT YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED BY THE CONDITION IF YOU BUY IT   -   NO-ONE HAD ANY COMPLAINTS WITH REGARDS THE MANY SINGLES I SOLD THE OTHER YEAR, SO I CAN ONLY ASSUME MY DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION FOR THOSE WAS PRETTY ACCURATE - I HAVE ALSO SOLD A FEW MORE IN RECENT WEEKS, SO CHECK OUT WHAT OTHERS HAD TO SAY).

THE SLEEVE HAS A LITTLE CREASING HERE AND THERE (SEE THE PHOTOS) AND HAS A 'SPINE SPLIT' ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE.  THE SPLIT IS LESS THAN AN INCH LONG, ONLY MENTIONED FOR ACCURACY. THERE'S ALSO A LITTLE YELLOWING ALONG THE EDGES, AGAIN, IT'S NOTHING.

THE RECORD HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE PAST 30 YEARS, BUT I PLAYED IT FROM START TO FINISH, BOTH A SIDE AND B SIDE (ON A NUMARK TURNTABLE) PRIOR TO LISTING AND IT PLAYS FINE WITH NO SKIPS OR STICKING ANYWHERE. THERE'S A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE, BUT I DON'T EVER REMEMBER BUYING A VINYL RECORD THAT DIDN'T HAVE A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE, FROM NEW. IN THE RUN OUT GROOVE ON SIDE ONE IT HAS ' IS THIS A RECORD ' AND ' A BILBO BOPPA '   ---            IN THE RUN OUT GROOVE ON SIDE TWO IT HAS  ' DAMNED BEATLES  ' AND  ' BILBO - MASTER ROOM '

LABELS ON BOTH SIDES ARE LOVELY AND CLEAN / UNMARKED.

FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RECORD (AND SLEEVE) AND IF I CAN ANSWER THEM I WILL AND I'LL ADD ANY NECESSARY INFO TO MY LISTING (SO BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE QUESTION AND ANSWER SECTION AT THE FOOT OF THE LISTING, IN CASE SOMEONE HAS ALREADY BID AND I CAN'T UPDATE THE ABOVE DESCRIPTION)

OPENING BID FOR THIS 32 + YEAR OLD RARITY, IS A REALISTIC £3.99

POSTAGE & PACKING WILL BE £2.00 (UK) AND THE RECORD WILL BE SENT IN A CARD 'MAILER' AND IF I CAN FIT A CARDBOARD STIFFENER INSIDE AS WELL, I WILL.  SHIPPING WILL BE MORE FOR OVERSEAS, PLEASE E-MAIL FOR COSTS BEFORE BIDDING. I ALWAYS GET A 'PROOF OF POSTING' CERTIFICATE, BUT THEY ONLY COVER ITEMS WITHIN THE UK, SO IF YOU WANT PROTECTION FOR AN ITEM SENT OVERSEAS, THEN YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO TAKE OUT INSURANCE, AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE (OBVIOUSLY). AGAIN, I WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE INSURANCE COSTS AS WELL, ONCE I KNOW THE COUNTRY YOU WANT IT DELIVERED TO.

GOOD LUCK !
