Description
The Sex Pistols Never mind the Bollocks original UK Virgin import with only 11 tracks printed on the jacket but 12 songs printed on the record. As far as I can tell from the discogs page, according to the matrix numbers, this is variant #10, out of many possible variants.
matrix on side A reads- I24 V2086 A9 EG Matrix on side B reads- I18 V2086 B9 EG
I found this record years ago in a thrift store. The jacket is almost a joke, if it wasnt the Sex Pistols, I never would have grabbed a record that looks this bad, but it somehow seems appropriate that the most famous punk record ever, survived the era looking like this. I was shocked when I pulled the vinyl out and saw that it was in great shape, conservatively the record is a solid VG+, I feel its actually Excellent but I would rather downgrade it to be safe, I think any buyer will be happily surprised. It shows light surface wear and some very faint scratches in a few spots that dont affect play, it sounds great, no skipping with minimal surface noise. The sticker on the vinyl side 1 is torn away in one spot on the Virgin logo.The cover is obviously Poor, trashed might be a better word. It doesnt smell but I imagine the stains on top may have been beer. It has water damage, its scotch taped all around and it has the name "Wolverton" written in pen on the bottom. Amazingly, this record still has the original paper inner sleeve- you almost wouldnt notice it because its just plain white paper, but on one side, in small writing, it says "Patent Nos. 1,125,555 Made In Great Britain. When I got this record I gave it a new vinyl sleeve and have kept the record & original sleeve outside of the jacket inside a poly bag.
