Description

FOR AUCTION HERE IS THIS, THE BRILLIANT DEBUT ALBUM FROM THE CLASH. ONE OF THE BEST OF THE EARLY PUNK ALBUMS IN MY OPINION.
IT IS FROM MY OWN COLLECTION.
PLEASE NOTE, THAT THE STRIPED EFFECT IN SOME OF MY PHOTOS, IS JUST CAUSED BY THE SUN SHINING THROUGH MY VERTICAL BLINDS
I AM NOT A RECORD DEALER, JUST A COLLECTOR SELLING OFF PART OF HIS COLLECTION FROM TIME TO TIME. I'M NEVER TOO SURE HOW TO GRADE ALBUMS, BUT EVERYONE THAT HAS BOUGHT AN ALBUM OR A 45 FROM ME IN THE PAST ON EBAY, HAS BEEN PLEASED WITH THEIR PURCHASE. NONE HAVE EVER COMPLAINED OR LEFT NEG FEEDBACK.
I HAVE PLAYED THIS ALBUM THROUGH BOTH SIDES AND ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE, THERE ARE NO SKIPS OR JUMPS AND IT DOESN'T GET STUCK ANYWHERE.
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER, OR WHATEVER IT IS, IS  - S CBS 82000
THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE CBS S 82000 A - 5  AND  CBS S 82000 B - 2
WHICH MEANS NOTHING TO ME, BUT I HOPE IT DOES TO YOU
SEE MY PHOTOS FOR THE TRACK LISTING. THERE ARE 14 TRACKS IN TOTAL AND ALL, IN MY OPINION, ARE GREAT TRACKS. I HAD FORGOTTEN JUST HOW GOOD, UNTIL I PLAYED THE ALBUM AGAIN.
THE SLEEVE HAS SOME LIGHT WEAR AND TEAR, BUT I THINK MY PHOTOS TELL THE WHOLE STORY. PLEASE DO REMEMBER THOUGH, THAT THE PICS ARE ENLARGED AT TIMES AND EXAGGERATE THE FAULTS. THERE IS SOME, VERY MINOR CREASING, BUT IT IS NICE AND CLEAN AND INTACT ALL AROUND (NO SPLITS AND NOT COMING APART ANYWHERE). THE SPINE TOO IS FINE AND THE TEXT ON IT EASILY READABLE.  
THE INNER SLEEVE, WHICH I'M PRETTY SURE IS THE ORIGINAL, HAS A BIT OF YELLOWING AROUND THE EDGES AND HAS A BIT OF A TEAR TOWARDS THE TOP/OPENING. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SPLIT, SO THE LP SLIDES RIGHT THROUGH, IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL.
ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER, BUT DON'T GET TOO TECHNICAL, AS I'M NO EXPERT.
THIS ALBUM IS ELSEWHERE ON EBAY FOR HEFTY SUMS. I HAVE PRICED MINE REASONABLY IN COMPARISON AND I'LL LET IT FIND ITS OWN LEVEL.

OPENING PRICE ON THIS ITEM, IS £4.99
POSTAGE & PACKING WILL BE £4 (UK ONLY) AND THE ALBUM WILL BE SENT IN A HEAVY DUTY 'DEFENDA' RECORD MAILER. 

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS !

AN UPDATE - SOMETHING I MEANT TO MENTION, BUT FORGOT TO WHEN I FIRST LISTED THIS ALBUM, THAT COULD BE IMPORTANT TO THE BUYER. 


 IT IS DEFINITELY A VERY EARLY COPY, AS I RECALL BUYING IT ON THE FRIDAY OF THE WEEK IT GOT RELEASED. I RUSHED TO BUY IT, AS THE FIRST SO MANY GOT A STICKER / TOKEN THAT WE HAD TO SEND AWAY TO ONE OF THE MUSIC PAPERS TO GET A FREE EP .  I DID SEND OFF THE STICKER / TOKEN , BUT I NEVER DID RECEIVE THE EP. IT'S SOMETHING THAT NARKED ME FOR MANY A YEAR AFTER.
THAT SAME FRIDAY, I WENT ON A STAG 'DO' IN THE EVENING AND WE GOT INVOLVED IN A FRACAS (THE JUDGE CALLED IT A MELEE) OUTSIDE OF A LOCAL NIGHTCLUB AND ME AND TWO GUYS I WAS WITH, GOT OUR BUTTS KICKED. I CAN REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM THE MORNING AFTER IN MY PARENTS FRONT ROOM, FEELING ALL BRUISED AND BATTERED FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE AND LOOKING AT MY TORN AND MUDDY JACKET OVER THE BACK OF A CHAIR AND THINKING  ''HELL, WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT LAST NIGHT''
STRANGE WHAT MEMORIES LISTENING TO SOME OLD MUSIC CAN BRING BACK :-)
