Description
BY 100 MILES THE NICEST SIGNED CLASH ITEM I'VE SEEN, AN ORIGINAL "WHITE RIOT" CBS 45 A2/B1 1977 45 UK PRESSING SIGNED ON THE FRONT BY JOE, MICK PAUL, AND (WHAT MUST BE PRETTY RARE?) TERRY CHIMES.
ON THE FACE OF IT, THIS ISN'T THE GREAT CONDITION, IT HAS TAPED SIDES- POSSIBLY JUST PRECAUTIONARY AS OPPOSED TO FIXING SPLITS AS SUCH. THIS MIGHT COME OFF BUT IN MY EYES IN A WEIRD WAY THIS ADDS TO IT'S CHARM AND CHARACTER?!!
SIGNED BY THE WHOLE BAND INCLUDING MICK ADDING "GTR" AND PAUL ADDING "BASS". JUST LOVELY. IT DOES HAVE A HANDWRITTEN "CLASH AUTOGRAPH" '78 IN GREEN IN TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER. I AM SELLING THIS FOR A FRIEND WHOSE DAD HAD "SOME RECORDS IN THE LOFT" WHICH SOUNDS AN OLD CLICHE BUT REALLY WAS TRUE AS I WENT UP AND TOOK A LOOK- SOME WERE DAMP, AND IFFY SMELLING BUT THIS ONE OF COURSE JUST LEAPT OUT. IT' IS AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE. AFTER AGREEING TO SELL THIS FOR HIM (HE SET THE PRICE) I LATER ASKED HIM WHY IT HAD 1978 WRITTEN ON IT TOP RIGHT, ESPECIALLY AS TERRY OF COURSE LEFT HALF WAY THROUGH 1977 WHEN THIS CAME OUT- IT WAS MY FRIEND WHO WROTE THIS, AS A KID PLAYING IT, NOT HIS DAD, WHICH WAS A RELIEF!)
PRICE INCLUDES FREE SIGNED FOR POSTAGE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD AND WOULD BE 2 OR 3 TIMES THIS PRICE IF WE HAD WATERTIGHT COA BUT SADLY ALL WE KNOW IS HE SAW THEM LOTS AS A KENSAL GREEN BASED WEST LONDON PUNK FROM LATE 1976 ON. HE'S GOT OTHER THINGS INCLUDING A PISTOLS "PRETTY VACANT" WHICH I'M TRYING TO TWIST HIS ARM ON TOO!
