Description

Up for auction is a copy of Skank Bloc Bologna b/w Is & Ought The Western World & 28/8/78 by Scritti Politti, released in 1978 on St Pancras, cat no SCRIT 1. Possibly the best DIY 45 of the era, brimming with invention, attitude, polemic & melody. They never bettered this one, and the fold-out sleeve tells you just how they did it.

Condition: vinyl is fine, a little minor wear, but nothing serious. Fold out cover has some wear & tear on the edges and a mark or two on the front, but it adds to the authenticity (!), and for a piece of photocopy paper from 33 years ago, it’s lasted pretty well. EX/VG (vinyl/cover).

My grades: I use a 10-point scale: M-; EX; VG+; VG; VG-; G+; G; G-; F (fair); P (poor), following Record Collector’s grading guidelines, with an extra + or – here & there to separate the wheat from the chaff. I never use mint as a grade for used records. As a long-term record collector, I know how disappointing it is when you receive over-graded records; my feedback from buyers indicates I normally undergrade in listings. Even so, if you have any problems, I'll give you your money back (less shipping costs), no questions asked. Buy with confidence! Any questions? Need any more photos or an audio sample? I'm only an email away.

Payment: UK- cheques (preferred) or Paypal. Rest Of World- Paypal. Email for other accepted methods of payment. Shipping: £2 (UK 1st class), £4 (Europe) £5.50 (rest of world-airmail). Recorded delivery is an additional £1 (UK), £4.50 (ROW). Check my other auctions; combine orders & save on shipping costs!

(Incidentally, I bought this copy back in the early 80s from Rhythm Records in Camden, London, just a stone's throw from the Carol Street squat that Green, Matthew Kay, Niall Jinks et al used as their base back in the day...)
