Although not super rare there can't be many in such lovely condition as this one, a real credit to the previous owner. Similar to Beatles and Led Zeppelin this album is normally played to death especially the title track which is why I love this example so much.  I am not a Punk fan but it really hurts to sell this one so I might be reluctant to take many offers haha.  Great investment and collectors piece, even if you have 10 copies already, I feel your pain, my partner and I currently have a 200 plus Beatles collection and growing.
Overall condition is wonderful especially the records, I have to keep checking that it isn't a new re-issue they are that clean.
All of my records are play tested on a Project Debut Carbon with 2M Red stylus which is quite revealing so any sound defects may be more exaggerated than on other more mainstream players.  Or conversely if you are a full on audiophile I will let you judge how your set up compares and how you envisage the sound will compare.
I don't currently have access to a cleaning machine so please forgive any dust or finger marks which are on any of my records - hopefully will be investing in one at some point.
Record Appearance - NM I don't feel overly comfortable describing a near 40 year old record as Near Mint but it really is.  Lovely gloss and barely any visible marks maybe the odd wisper but no scratches whatsoever.
Record Audio - NM Sorry to go on but it's hard to believe how quiet this record is no surface noise or defects that I could hear.  The mastering is jaw dropping big full rich sound which can only be found on these original pressings. Why am I selling this seriously.
Record Sleeve - VG+ Generally very tidy with only expected shelf wear on corners and edges.  Nice solid spine.  There is a slight gouge on the G of Calling but apart from that very presentable and way above average for this record. Picture inners with the lyrics are present and correct and in perfect condition.  Smells good too...yes you are not alone haha.
All questions answered and offers considered.  Thanks for looking and please follow me and check out my other listings as they appear.  I am employed full time and have 3 children so please forgive any delay in communication but should be within 24 hours.
