Description

Trem 7": My Robotic Friend; Colour Vision. Original 1983 UK 1st pressing on the AM label.  Cat No: AM 251. Vinyl has plastic labels. There are some light hairlines/light marks that are more visible when held at an angle to a bright light. Some occasional light background. Great sound quality. Vinyl graded EX-/EX. This incredibly rare Post Punk/Synth 7" was recorded in the independent LOCO studio near Newport. Limited to 1000 pressings. Comes with a letter signed by vocalist/guitarist/bass player Robert Randall asking for advice from someone, I assume, in the record industry, on how to promote the record. Letter graded EX+. I would assume that with the letter that there would be less than 10 of these in the world.

Further information from the "Crispy Nuggets" web site adds: "Really brilliant and hard to come by minimal synth 7" out of the UK, the only release by Trem that I am aware of... The title track is also available on then Once Bitten compilation LP. Can't say I know much else about this one, I'm afraid. Maybe someone can provide more info? Enjoy."

  ANY ITEM OVER THE VALUE OF £ 20.00 WILL ONLY BE POSTED TO COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE UK WITH INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR. THIS WILL BE AN EXTRA £5.00. PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE TO BE SENT BEFORE PAYING.

All records graded as per Rare Record Collector Price Guide grading system. I never grade a record as Mint unless it is sealed or known to be unplayed, and add, where appropriate, + or - to the listing for further accuracy.

Grading System: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records.
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

 
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

 
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
