THIS RARE 45 IS IN GREAT  CONDITION AND IT IS HOUSED IN IT’S ORIGINAL PICTURE SLEEVE.

THIS OBSCURE BUT VERY WONDERFUL EP BY MANCHESTER BAND THE PANIK IS NOTABLE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS: IT WAS PRODUCED BY ROB GRETTON AND IS INTEGRAL TO THE HISTORY OF JOY DIVISION!! IAN CURTIS NEARLY JOINED THEM AND STEVE B’DALE WAS IN THE PRE WARSAW BAND STIFF KITTENS!!

THE SLEEVE

THIS SINGLE IS HOUSED IN IT’S ORIGINAL, SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED PICTURE SLEEVE. THIS AMAZING LOOKING SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION, WITH JUST SOME SLIGHT SIGNS OF VERY CAREFUL HANDLING. 

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE GLOSSY BLACK VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW SLIGHT MARKS. THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY SUPERB THROUGHOUT ALL THREE BRILLIANT TRACKS. I DETECTED A COUPLE OF TINY TICKS DURING  SIDE TWO.

THE LABELS

THE FANTASTIC YELLOW & BLACK RAINY CITY LABELS ARE BOTH IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, WITH NO MARKS AT ALL.

SIDE 1

1. MODERN POLITICS

SIDE 2

1. URBAN DAMNATION
2. MURDER

ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I DO NOT USE “ENVELOPE STYLE” MAILERS. INSTEAD I USE SPECIAL MAILERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR RECORD AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL.

I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD STRICTLY ACCORDING TO RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE GRADING SYSTEMS SO THERE WILL BE NO NASTY SURPRISES FOR THE WINNING BIDDER. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN CAREFULLY VISUALLY & FULLY PLAY GRADED.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD (VG) THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
