Description

UK SUBS - Brand New Age LP. 1st Pressing. GEM / RCA. Clear Vinyl (oxidized "coke bottle" colored outer rim). UK PUNK . Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
Some copies of this album have turned brown through age / Oxidization of the clear vinyl. I got lucky with the oxidization pattern on this copy, as it looks 1000X cooler than the original clear vinyl, in my opinion. 

  • Run-out groove (Etched) Side A: GEM LP 106-A-1 A BILBO 'EADBANGA! 'W' A2K
  • Run-out (Etched) Side B: GEMLP 106-B-1 'W' A2I BILBOS KICKS - TA1PE 

It can be pretty hard to see scratches on clear vinyl. On this vinyl I can't see a single one. There may be a few there that I am not seeing, but I had no record player by the time I bought this copy, so it has likely seen very little use. There may be a couple pops and clicks, mostly noticeable between songs, if at all. VG+
The insert is in great shape and has no stains, rips, folds, or creases to speak of. There is some Very Light wear from handling vaguely visible near the corners only. VG++
The cover has a bit of wear but still looks very good. There is Light ring wear just barely visible at the top middle area of front and back. There are the usual handful of veins near the top and left edges. One corner has a light bend that has resulted in a longish, (3 to 4 inches) but very faint vein. 2 corners have Moderate wear, 1 corner has Moderate, leaning towards Severe wear, and 1 corner has Severe wear. The seam at the Severely worn corner is beginning to split. The split is only about an inch long however and it is on the shelf edge. The spine edge has Moderate wear leaning towards Light, but most of the title text is still intact. Overall it still looks really good despite the wear, and the way it is worn sort of gives it a bit of character. Because of the corner wear, however, I can't rate it higher than G+++
Grades that I use are G-, G, G+, G++, G+++, VG, VG+, VG++, VG+++/EX, NM. I won't be describing anything as M or MINT unless it is unopened and the packaging is completely unblemished. Records that have never been played but HAVE been opened, will be described as Near Mint or NM. These are the adjectives that I use when describing damage: Very Light, Light, Moderate, Severe, Catastrophic. To describe damage in between those ranks I say things like: "Moderate leaning towards Severe," "Moderate leaning towards light," or "In between Light and Moderate"...just for example.
******************PANDEMIC DELIVERY INFORMATION********************** 
At this time media mail going to NY, NJ and surrounding areas can take as long as 5 to 6 weeks to be delivered. USPS in those areas is under-staffed and overwhelmed, and media mail is their lowest priority. I have no control over this. If you live in those areas I recommend using Priority mail unless you are prepared to be patient.
