The Killermeters - Why Should It Happen To Me?

Mega-Rare Mod Revival 7", With Original Picture Sleeve

Psycho, P2520 (released 1979)

Extremely rare 7" pressing of the classic Killermeters debut single Why Should It Happen To Me? c/w Cardiac Arrest; released in 1979 as part of the Mod Revival, it was pressed in tiny numbers, with even fewer copies coming with a picture sleeve; very few have survived the past 40 years, so grab it now while you can!

CONDITION:

A-SIDE: 

Label: EX (both labels printed on off-white paper, with light rubbing and spindle wear, generally clean)

Vinyl - Visual: VG+ (has a number of noticeable marks, but there is nothing deep, all are surface/superficial)

Vinyl - Audio: EX- (there is some general surface noise on the intro and outro, but very few loud pops and clicks, with a lovely bassy, beefy sound)

B-SIDE:

Label: EX (similar to A-side)

Vinyl - Visual: EX (nice and clean and shiny, just a few light marks)

Vinyl - Audio: VG+ (has a bit more crackle than on the A-side, a little more distortion, but still a great punchy sound)

PICTURE SLEEVE:

In great condition for a nearly 40-year-old sleeve; a little bending/creasing to the top-right corner, a red mark at the bottom (which isn't pen, and might be removeable, I haven't tried), some little dinks on the top edge, plus general light wear and rubbing; however, apart from that, this is a very solid sleeve with no writing, no rips, no tears, and no split seams!

NB: The condition grades shown above are based on Record Collector's grades. There are 5 grades: Near Mint (used but in stunning 'nearly new' condition); EX+ (used but with a bare minimum of wear); EX (item may have some light marks but still in a desirable condition); VG+ (has a few marks but only cosmetic, item plays perfectly); and VG (may have minor issues which I will specifically refer to); I don't sell anything below VG (and Mint doesn't exist). Unlike a lot of people on eBay, I am very scrupulous about my grading, so if ever you are less than satisfied with the condition of an item, please do contact me.

SPECIALIST IN EARLY CD PRESSINGS:

As Tillysmusic, I've been an eBay seller for many years, and specialise in early/1980s CD pressings. If anybody tells you that early CDs were badly mastered and sound bad, don't believe them! Although there are exceptions, the vast majority of 1980s CD pressings sound wonderful, especially West German and Japanese pressings from between 1982 and 1988. Pressings from this era tend to have a much warmer 'natural' sound not unlike how you remember the vinyl original, as opposed to more modern reissues which are remixed for iPods with bass boost and added compression. Remember, not all early pressings are mega-rare or valuable, but are nearly always worth checking out.

PHOTOGRAPHS & DESCRIPTIONS:

All photographs show the actual item for sale - I don't sell multiple items, and definitely don't use other people's photos stolen from other listings. All descriptions are as honest and as accurate as possible. Should you need any more information about an item, I'm very happy to answer any questions you have. In certain circumstances, I can also provide extra photographs.

PAYMENT & POSTAGE:

Paypal only. UK bidders can opt for standard First Class or Special Delivery. Overseas bidders have two postage choices: standard Royal Mail Airmail, or Royal Mail's International Signed For service which is tracked via the Royal Mail website. NB: Bidders from Russia, Asia, Middle East, Africa and South America MUST pay for the Signed For option, so please think very carefully before you bid (this is only because so many of my items have gone missing in these territories; International Signed For protects us both). I can offer a reduced postal charge for multiple purchases, details on enquiry. If you have any questions about postage or about the item itself, please ask before bidding. Once the auction has ended, please indicate which postal option you would prefer (if applicable) and I will send you the appropriate invoice. Thanks.
