After 32 years of buying punk rock records - with no plans of stopping - storage is becoming an issue so it's time to offload a few. The records I am listing are mainly doubles which I have either bought in error or replaced because I've found a better copy.

I am a fan, not a trader. This is the 1st time I’ve ever sold anything as reflected by my feedback – 100% positive from a vast number of purchases and I intend to maintain that rating as a seller. I have just changed my user name, partly to reflect my newfound urge to sell but mainly ‘cos the old one was totally naff! (This is my 3rd weekend of selling stuff and the feedback from my buyers so far is all positive, please check it out).

I didn’t have time to listen to some of these records before listing them so if you feel the item is not as described then please contact me and I will consider a refund for returns. My descriptions are intended to be overly cautious to avoid disappointment.

I will be very happy to answer questions about the listing but please note that I have to work for a living so I will only be able to reply outside of working hours.

Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols LP - Nippon Columbia, 1st Japanese press from 1977 - YX-7199-AX; 11 tracks only, no Submission on sleeve or record

Classic LP that is being sold as I have duplicate copies. I picked up several copies over the years after I bought the Gavin Walsh Sex Pistols collectors guide. I never realised until then that there were so many varieties with different sleeves, labels, barcodes and everything else that happened to it. I took a few chances if they were available at a good price in case it was one of the rarer ones! 

This is a great early Japanese copy with only 11 tracks. The cover is in great condition let down only by a small tear (< 1 cm) at the opening (both sides) and some ring wear creasing rather than marking. Nothing of any real concern in the context of up to 35 years of use. The spine is in really good condition, there are only a few marks and the title and band name can be read very clearly. All in all, a very clean copy.

I've never played the record as it is a duplicate and I didn't need to. The spindle indicates that it might have never been played and there are only minimal hairline markings. It looks amazing to me for nearly 35 years old and the blue labels with silver print are absolutely stunning.

It comes with the usual 4 page insert with the lyrics in Japanese and English which is in great condition with just a few minor creases of the type created when being read; look out for those interesting errors in the English version!!!

 All in all, a great example that deserves a good home.

Visual Grading only - see above for details

Sleeve: Very good (+) - a very clean copy 

Insert: Very Good (+)  

Inner: Excellent - Clear plastic with no splits or marking 

Disc: Excellent - see above for details

I think this is a very cautious summary but I'd prefer you to be pleasantly surprised by the VG+ than disappointed with an Exc -.   

I'm not listing the tracks here as I guess that you already know what's on here - it's the usual 12 tracks in the usual order! If you really want to know however, send me a question.

Important change to postage details, please note carefully.

I have just lost a lot of money on posting my 1st set of sales and as I am selling at low prices I can’t afford to do this. I have therefore regrettably had to make my postage costs more realistic.

The revised charges are based entirely on cost as I do not charge for packaging. I tend to recycle packaging but I only use quality items and use strong stiffeners – which is half the reason why the costs have been so high. The other half of the reason is the Royal Mail’s recent price hike.  

Postage for LP’s will be by Royal Mail 1st Class ‘Signed for’ in the UK. I will do these not signed for but this is entirely at your own risk. Ask for the cost when you win the item but as a guide, 1-2 LP’s 1st class would be £2.70 or for 2nd class £2.20.

All overseas items will be sent basic airmail. Please ask before bidding if insurance is required. If you are in Italy, South Africa, South America, Indonesia or Malaysia I accept no responsibility for lost parcels unless you pay extra for insurance. If you want to take insurance please contact me when you win the item and I will arrange a quote for you and invoice you accordingly.

UK: £3.65 for 1 or 2 LPs, £5.25 for 3 LP’s.

Europe: £4.85 for 1 LP, £6.75 for 2 LP’s, £7.85 for 3 LP’s

US, Canada, South America: £8.00 for 1 LP, £10.50 for 2 LP’s, £14.00 for 3 LP’s

Japan, Australia, Rest of world: £8.50 for 1 LP, £11.00 for 2 LP’s, £14.50 for 3 LP’s
