 OTHER:-       "Ghost Town" spent three weeks at number one and 10 weeks in total in the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart. Addressing themes of urban decay, deindustrialisation, unemployment and violence in inner cities, the song is remembered for being a hit at the same time as riots were occurring in British cities.

        Internal tensions within the band were also coming to a head when the single was being recorded, resulting in the song being the last single recorded by the original seven members of the group before splitting up. 

          However, the song was hailed by the contemporary UK music press as a major piece of popular social commentary, and all three of the major UK music magazines of the time awarded "Ghost Town" the accolade of "Single of the Year" for 1981.

 

INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE

( Non UK buyers please note that the £5.00 and £6.00 postage is only for items ending on £5 or less, anything selling over £5 will be invoiced at a different postage rate and will be priced on what the record ends on and the location, please wait for my invoice before paying )

I have listed with my own postal rates but I am quite happy for you to opt for the eBay global postage scheme if you pay the higher price but feel happier with the safety of tracking.

Please note all vinyl is wrapped in paper, packed separate from sleeve and sellotaped to some card for protection. Records are usually sent in a 7” mailer & stiffener added for support but if I have run out they are carefully wrapped in a padded bag with extra

card.

N.B. All Orders over £35 must be sent via tracked/insured mail which is an extra £5, please wait for an invoice before making payment

        AT THE MOMENT I AM THINNING DOWN MY COLLECTION STARTING FROM ‘A’, SO KEEP LOOKING!

      I am quite happy to combine postage on 2 or more singles but prefer to quote on actual records as thickness of vinyl varies so much and I want to give a fair and reasonable price. An approx. price guide for U.K. is:-

                 1st CLASS   2nd CLASS

2 singles –    1.90             1.60

3 singles –     2.10            1.90

  * I TRY AND GRADE MY RECORDS AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE USING THE RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM AND BY PLAYING THEM ON MY SYSTEM.

* GRADING IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT AND OPINIONS OFTEN VARY SO IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ANY OF MY GRADES PLEASE, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH AND DISCUSS,    Thanks, Dave
