Sex Pistols --  Never Mind The Bollocks  1977 UK  First Pressing This is an exceptionally clean copy of the very first 1,000 ever pressed in October 1977 to counteract the early releases being imported from France. The plates used to press these first 1,000 were A1 through A3, and B1 through B3.
There are no stickers on jacket and it has some wear on corners, but in GREAT shape considering it's age. The vinyl has surface marks on both sides throughout but plays like a dream!! Light surface noice with no skips, pops, or jumps throughout. Very nice gloss remains to both sides of the record. The ONLY thing not original with this record is the dust jacket. It didn't have the original when I acquired it many many years ago.
Jacket: VG Vinyl: VG+
Stored with loving care in a smoke free home. Record will be packaged with care and shipped in a protected sturdy mailer.

Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.

Near Mint (NM) – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.

Excellent (E) – Same but I’d tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.

Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.

Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED.

Good (G) – To be honest you’re making trouble for yourself here, as Good means Bad. I’d only be selling something really desirable in this condition, with a bargain price and a full, no holds barred description to match.

Poor (P), Fair (F) Attempting to listen will be a disturbing experience. Expect major noise issues, skipping or repeating. The record itself is cracked, badly warped and has deep scratches. The cover is also approaching death.
