Description
THE CLASH...THE CLASH S/T DEBUT VINYL L.P. ON CBS RECORDS CAT. NO. CBS 82000 FROM 1977.
GENUINE FIRST PRESS OF THIS CLASSIC PUNK ALBUM. THE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL BE SEPARATED FOR MAILING.
THIS COPY WAS ORIGINALLY FROM THE RECORD COLLECTION OF NEALE FLOYD, THE GUITARIST FROM PENETRATION. HE BOUGHT IT NEW ON RELEASE AND I BOUGHT IT FROM HIM AS HE WAS SELLING OFF A LARGE PART OF HIS COLLECTION A WHILE BACK. HE SENT ME A SIGNED NOTE WITH IT (SEE PHOTO) WHICH READS AS FOLLOWS:
"HI AGAIN JEZ! JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THIS WAS BOUGHT BY ME PROBABLY THE DAY AFTER IT WAS RELEASED 8/4/77. I SENT IN THE RED STICKER FOR THE "CAPITOL RADIO" E.P. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST 10,000 PRESSINGS. I'VE ALSO SOLD THE E.P." CHEERS, NEALE (SIGNED). THERE IS A BIT MORE DIALOGUE ON THE NOTE.
THE VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION APPEARANCE WISE WITH SOME VERY LIGHT HAIRLINE MARKS WHEN VIEWED IN STRONG LIGHT, AND PLAYS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT ON BOTH SIDES WITH THE FOLLOWING SLIGHT FLAWS WHICH I WANT TO POINT OUT.
1. I THINK THERE MAY BE THE ODD SLIGHT TICK, IT IS HARD TO SAY DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE MUSIC. I CAN SAY FOR DEFINITE THAT THERE ARE A SMALL HANDFUL OF SLIGHT AUDIBLE TICKS ON 'PROTEX BLUE', BUT NOTHING REALLY DETRIMENTAL.
2. THERE IS SOME LIGHT AND OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND CRACKLE ON 'POLICE & THIEVES'.
3. THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE IN BETWEEN TRACKS ON SIDE 2.
4. HAVING PLAYED THIS ALBUM ONLY A HANDFUL OF TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT, I JUST NOTICED WHEN PLAYING IT AGAIN FOR LISTING PURPOSES, THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE A SLIGHT JUMP ON 'WHITE RIOT'. IT SOUNDS HARD TO HEAR AT FIRST AND I HAD TO PLAY IT FEW TIMES AGAIN TO NOTICE. WHAT HAPPENS IS THIS. ON THE SECOND CHORUS IT PLAYS...'WHITE RIOT, I WANNA RIOT, WHITE (SLIGHT JUMP?) WHITE RIOT, I WANNA RIOT, WHITE RIOT, A RIOT OF MY OWN'. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO NOTICE DUE TO THE NATURE AND SPEED OF THE SONG. IN MY OPINION IT ISN'T REALLY THAT DETRIMENTAL TO LISTEN TO, BUT IT NEEDS POINTING OUT. I ALSO CANNOT SEE UNDER A STRONG MAGNIFYING GLASS, ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS JUMP, IF THAT IS INDEED WHAT IT IS. IT COULD BE A SLIGHT FLAW IN THE VINYL OR JUST DIRT IN THE GROOVES.
DESPITE THIS IT STILL PLAYS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN AND FREE OF MARKS.
THE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY VERY LIGHT WEAR IN THE FORM OF SURFACE RUBBING TO THE REAR, WHICH IS COMMENSURATE WITH AGE. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR TO THE SPINE AND CORNERS, AND A FEW SMALL EDGE CREASES. THE FRONT AND BACK AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE (PLEASE SEE PHOTOS).
IT COMES IN THE ORIGINAL INNER WHITE SLEEVE WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME CREASES ON ONE SIDE.
