HERE WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT UK BLAST FIRST (BFFP 4) FIRST PRESSING (May 1986) OF SONIC YOUTH'S SUPERB, "EVOL" LP

PRESSED ON QUALITY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL WHICH DELIVERS TREMENDOUS AUDIO
w/CONTINUAL PLAY INTO THE SIDE TWO RUN-OFF GROOVE
THE LP IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUE SMOOTH, GLOSSY SLEEVE
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL SILVER PICTURE/LYRIC INNER SLEEVE

UK FIRST PRESS MATRIX: BFFP 4 A-2U - 1-1 (etched "A PORKY PRIME CUT") / BFFP 4 B-2U - 1-1 (etched "BILBO TAPE ONE" & "EVERYTHING TURNS BLACK TO BLUE")

Sonic Youth made their first moves toward traditional rock with EVOL, a stunningly fluent mixture of avant-garde instrumentation and subversions of rock & roll. The band benefits greatly from the addition of structure, which gives its aural experiments a firm grounding, but the addition of drummer Steve Shelley is essential to the group's new, dangerous edge. With the added propulsion, the fearless rush of "Expressway to Yr Skull" (aka "Madonna, Sean and Me") and the near-pop of "Green Light" are undeniably powerful as are the eerie textures of "Shadow of a Doubt."

Track Listing:
Side 1:Tom Violence / Shadow Of A Doubt / Starpower / In The Kingdom # 19 / Green Light
Side 2: Death To Our Friends / Secret Girl / Marilyn Moore / Expressway To Yr. Skull

LABELS: CLEAN and BRIGHT with NO wear, NO writing and only light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: The surfaces have their original DEEP, GLOSSY SHEEN. There are some superficial light marks but these have NO major audio consequence - the playback is SUPERB throughout
VINYL Audio: OUTSTANDING audio delivery - CRYSTAL CLEAR, VERY SHARP and VERY STRONG. There are NO scratches, NO jumps, NO sticks, NO loud clicks or pops and barely any surface noise (really, hardly any). The album plays BEAUTIFULLY THROUGHOUT with SUPERB clarity, NO distortion and groove-wear. Must be critically graded EXCELLENT+ for audio and NOT over-graded in ANY way as I use STRICT RECORD COLLECTOR grading standards (please refer to my feedback and 'about me' page) - FANTASTIC LP AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
SLEEVE: The 1st issue sleeve is in EXCELLENT+ condition. CLEAN and UNMARKED. All edges are SHARP (corner 'bumping' only) and ALL text on the spine is CLEAR and BOLD.
INNER SLEEVE: Again, CLEAN and FRESH with no splits. There are some light 'foxing spots' (please see photos) - nothing major. This is the original SILVER inner sleeve. The LP is now housed - and will be posted in - a new inner to avoid any 'knifing' damage to the original during transit - EXCELLENT

PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I USUALLY TAKE QUITE A FEW SO YOU CAN GET A CLEAR INDICATION OF EVERY DETAIL OF THE RECORD AND SLEEVE
I HAVE UPLOADED AS MANY PICTURES AS I CAN BUT I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SUPPLY ANY ADDITIONAL PHOTOS ON REQUEST
SUPERB UK FIRST PRESSING OF SONIC YOUTH'S EARLY BREAKTHROUGH LP - GREAT STUFF - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
AS WITH ALL MY RECORDS THIS HAS A LOW START PRICE AND NO RESERVE

REDUCED POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS (EACH ADDITIONAL LP: UK: £1.00, EU & INTERNATIONAL £2.00)
I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period. However, at the end of each 10 day period, all outstanding items will need to be paid for in full and will be posted to you. Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period. I am continually adding new items which may be of interest to you and it is impractical for me to allow payment to be postponed indefinitely in the expectation that you might wish to bid on future items. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
Guarantee: I endeavour to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback or limited history not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with NO feedback or limited history (less than 10 true positives) contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers

ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT.
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY WRAPRO MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY



I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks
