Description

In the past couple of weeks, over a couple of fun trips, I've bought a huge vinyl collection from a friend who worked with me at Phantom Records (in the '90's) and who'd amassed a gigantic collection of wonderfully kept and thoroughly researched LP's, 7"s and relevant 12"s - from the classic punk era (1976-1981) was his specialty, but also records from the few years after that era, as some of those bands progressed into the mid-'80's while keeping their integrity intact (the likes of Public Image, Siouxsie, the Cure spring to mind). To give you an example of his fastidiousness, his collection includes 60 different editions of the Pistols "Never Mind The Bollocks" LP - from every conceivable country, and every edition he could uncover. Anyway, he's been particular about maintaining items in their original condition - most he bought brand new at the time...(however this may mean that some he picked up second-hand weren't exactly mint to start with - those will be obvious by the gradings below). He'd been buying records I believe from about 1975/76 right up until recently. It's a truly wonderful collection; he'd not sold any of it previously so it was complete - some of the items are super rare and some are simply very nice copies of classic records - and I felt utterly privileged to be offered it first. Mostly though, YOU get to benefit from his meticulousness.

Here then, is one of the items from his collection:

ARTIST:   various artists   -
TITLE:      "NEW WAVE ROCK 'N' ROLL - GET BEHIND IT BEFORE IT GETS PAST YOU"

TRACKS:     

SIDE 1: DEAD BOYS - "ALL THIS AND MORE" + "SONIC REDUCER"

SIDE 2: TALKING HEADS - "UH-OH, LOVE COMES TO TOWN" + "DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT"

SIDE 3: The SAINTS - "(I'M) STRANDED" + "EROTIC NEUROTIC" (4:06) 

SIDE 4: RICHARD HELL & THE VOIDOIDS - "BLANK GENERATION" + "BETRAYAL TAKES TWO"   .

FORMAT:     …vinyl 2 x 7" EP… 
LABEL:         SIRE .
CAT. #:          PRO-696 .
DATE:         1977 .
PRESSED IN:    USA .

ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING: Yes, it is...in solid card gatefold cover...promotional-only release... .

Before owning Phantom, I managed an indie/alternative store from 1974-78 here in Sydney, and the USA supplier I used was given a bunch of this by Sire to farm off to retailers (one per store)...but knowing that the whole 'new punk thing' was my bag, my contact there handed a few out to shops in the US who he knew would care, but whacked about 25 of these into my shipment the following week...which I assume is why the odd one of these seems to turn up in Sydney every now and then [well, that's my angle on it, anyway :-)  ]

CONDITION:

COVER / RECORDS: ( EX- / MINT )...cover has some minor edge & corner scuffing...records look unplayed!...both look shiny and glistening - one has some paper scuffs (but that is literally all they are)...other is utterly pristine...

LABELS: ( all 4 are MINT )...

Thanks for considering this item...Cheers, Jules.
