The Only Ones
S/T CBS S CBS 82830 First UK Pressing, 1978
----------
REALLY nice copy of The Only Ones' iconic power pop/punk debut. Everything is here and in great condition. Includes green printed insert. 
Condition/Record: EX Condition/Jacket: EX
Condition Notes: Very little wrong here. Jacket has very minor storage and edgewear, spine is clean, seams are good. Insert is perfect. Vinyl is great with just a bit of surface noise at the very beginning of the lead-in track which disappears. A1/B1 matrix numbers. A superb copy of an awesome record. There are two virtually invisible hairlines on track 4 side 1 that I literally just found while typing this, but after double-checking on the turntable it plays through perfectly with no sound. 
I love this record -- there is so much life in it, partially due to the production, which is airy and natural and benefits from the good pressing. Please note that I will be posting a US promo version of Baby's Got a Gun shortly.  
General Notes: Please note that my pricing includes a small premium for handling time and packing materials. At minimum, LPs are visually graded under bright raking light, and I play-grade most titles. I clean all records with a Hunt EDA carbon fiber brush, and many titles are cleaned on a Nitty Gritty cleaner. Vinyl ships in plastic or rice paper sleeves, and I use proper LP mailers with interior padding. Vinyl is shipped outside of the jacket in a new plastic or rice paper inner sleeve. Every record ships with a clean polythene outer sleeve.

About Me and How I Do This
I carefully select what I sell, and I treat my buyers respectfully. I grade conservatively, I try to price things fairly, and I provide additional notes on condition where applicable. I don't use M or NM without good reason (in many cases my EX is another person's NM).
I take great care to communicate with my buyers promptly and in the friendliest and most useful manner possible. I am also a very reasonable person: I will work with you if you have any concerns about your purchase. I do not normally take returns unless the item has been substantially mis-represented.
I take pride in my strong eBay feedback, which I encourage you to review. I like records, and I like to see them arrive safely into the hands of my buyers after a fair and cordial transaction has been concluded.
