Description
Trivial guff...merely to explain where some of the more unusual things I'm listing might've come from:
From 1974-1978 I managed an indie/alternative record store here in Sydney (known firstly as Ripple then Revolver Records)...along with the expected, we sold the most obscure imported stuff - from all the still-available 60's and 70's prog 'n' psych stuff, 60's garage/surf/soul, 70's power-pop, plus we dived head-on into the early punk scene importing all the classic 7"s from the US and UK scenes...then we also specialized in Krautrock imports from Germany (virtually all of which were still available at that time), and the latest reggae releases straight from Jamaica (we had thee coolest suppliers!)...in 1978/79, I lived in the UK & USA - my job description in the U.S. was simply: to buy second-hand vinyl goodies in any of the above categories, with unlimited funds at my disposal (I doubt there's ever been a better job!...anywhere...ever) - to send back to Australia...then had my own record store in Sydney (with my great mate and business partner, Dare)...from 1979-1998...that was Phantom Records (we had a record label then as well - started purely coz, apart from the fact both our girlfriends were lead singers in bands that no major label was interested in, so were lots of our friends) - I'd also roadied for, then managed, Radio Birdman in 1975/'76, so was part of that camp - so our connections were good! - the label worked well for a while.
Anyway, what I'm really getting at, is that I amassed a massive collection (of mostly first pressings and originals) over all those years and scenarios, and looked after it pretty well (while all the while gently thrashing the hell outta them of course). But many I had 2 copies of and will be close to mint. So...I'm selling some.
(They're not all unusual or hideously rare...quite obviously...but there's some cool stuff amongst it all.)
Here's one of the items from the above booty:
INVADERS
"FAST GIRL" b/w "WITH THE T.V. ON"
...original 1979 USA 7"...on No Label Records (catalogue number is: F.G./T.V. ...really)...in pic sleeve...original first pressing...(the guy at top left in the cover pic - can't remember his name - used to live in the same warehouse I lived in, in NYC on the corner of Canal and Greenwich Sts, in 1979, and he gave me this - Richard Hell also lived there, as did John and Evan Lurie of The Lounge Lizards [etc.]...Adele Bertei and one of The Contortions were there for a while too, as were a swag of 'No Wave' band members, and arty NY film-makers...you never knew who you'd meet on the stairs)...
NYC band...their first and only single...
'A' side is a cool punk-pop...more punk than pop to be honest, but has a firm grip on melody all the same...it's a great 45!
'B' is slower moody ballad (with a touch of 3rd-LP-Velvet-Underground about it).
CONDITION:
COVER: ( VG++ )...has some minor edge-crinkling as its only real blemishes...
VINYL: ( EX )...looks so close to mint, but has a few crackles on the 'B' side...
LABELS: (Side One: MINT / Side Two: MINT )...
If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).Thanks for considering this item...Cheers, Jules.
