The New Age Steppers S/T LP - 1st Pressing Near Mint - Limited Issue

$

50

This is an original 1st UK pressing of  The New Age Steppers debut LP on On-U Sound purchased in London on initial release in early 1981,  limited to 1000 copies.  Sadly Ari Up died in 2010.  Album is not sealed so I can't list as mint but it has never been played due to being stored overseas with a family member for many years so I am listing it as near mint.  Both sleeve and vinyl are in immaculate condition, inner sleeve is orginal clear plastic inner.  Side 1 outgroove is etched with matrix ONLP1 A1 and is also etched "Love to Jack Deans From Adrian" - Adrian Sherwood is the producer of the album.  Side 2 ougroove is etched with matrix ONLP1 B2 and also stamped Townhouse.  Cover by Bill Bell, back sleeve with band credits, "Produced and Mixed by Adrian Sherwood/New Age Steppers" recording and tracklisting info, guy in scuba suit, at bottom "Distributed by Rough Trade and Spartan".  This includes a myriad of musicians from punk & reggae including former members of the Pop Group, Raincoats, Slits, Aswan etc. all listed on back sleeve.  Inner labels with tracklisting, writer and publishing credits, "New Age Steppers Vol.1", no timings.  This is quite a rare record, looks brand new not 31+ years old, and you would be hard pressed to find a 1st pressing of this record in this condition.  Being sold with low starting price of $50.00 with no reserve.

I am selling off most of my personal record collection which reflects a wide range of taste which I have collected over 33+ years.  I worked in the music industry for much of my life, and many of my records which I will be listing in the coming weeks are quite rare, many are 1st editions and limited pressings.  All my records have been well cared for and have not had much play due to being in storage with a family member for many years and most are in near mint or VG+ condition.  This is a reluctant sale as it represents a lifetime's love of music but I also realize that as much as I love all this music it hasn't been played in a very long time and needs a new home where it will be.  All items from a clean smoke free home.  Payment due within 2 days of auction end via Paypal only please.  Items will be sent within two business day of receiving payment and carefully packaged in professional mailers.  Please refer to shipping notes below.  Thanks for looking and good luck if you decide to bid.
