Description


Details. From my own personal collection. Rare original 1985 1st UK press on Rough Trade, catalogue no. ROUGH 81. 1st UK press matrix ending A1/B1. Comes complete with original printed inner sleeve.
Vinyl Condition:- A well played VG with quite a few scuff marks and small light scratches. Plays fine with background surface noise in quiet parts, random background clicks and some repeated clicks now and then. So not a mint or excellent copy but a well played VG that does not jump or repeat and at a very reasonable price for an original 1st UK press considering and EX can sell for nearly £50.  Vacuum machine cleaned and test played on complete Rega system.
Sleeve Condition:- VG. Some wear on the top and bottom edges. Record has pushed up on the top seem and caused a tiny 1cm break in the top print but has not gone all the way through. Spine is intact and fully readable.
Label Condition:- VG+

Grading Abbreviations  
Grading below is as stated from UK Record Collector. I also use +/- for records that fall somewhere between a grade  
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 marked 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.
Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing .
Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler
