Before coming to Touch and Go in 1986, the Virgin Prunes of Dublin, Ireland had been a majoratively quirky, gothic tinged performance art band. Formed in 1977, and led by Gavin Friday, the Prunes had a largely cult following throughout their ten-year career. Guggi (vocals), Dave-id (vocals also), Strongman (bass), Pod, and Dik (guitar) made up the rest of the band. Their only non-pseudeonymed member, Mary D’Nellon, began as drummer in 1982 after Pod left. The Prunes released their only full length for Touch and Go in 1986, a more melodic and ballad oriented work, entitled The Moon Looked Down and Laughed.

ORIGIN/PROVENANCE: My friend Corey Rusk, who runs Touch & Go Records (and formerly of The Necros), has been cleaning out his storage space and has realized that he really doesn't have any more room for the all doubles and triples of many of the rare records in his collection. He's busy running Touch and Go and doesn't have the time to deal with selling his extras... but they do need to go. So he asked me to help him sell them off. And of course, as a long time friend of Corey and and fan of Touch and Go Records (along with being a 10+ year eBay seller with a perfect feedback rating of 1700+), I jumped at the chance.
I'll be auctioning approximately 1500+ items so please stay tuned.....
Be sure to check out my other items for sale (including about 20 different rare T&G posters!)....
New items will be listed every Sunday (unless I'm out of town).
PAYMENT: Paypal only. Or so sez eBay.
SHIPPING: The record will be housed between two pieces of cardboard and then put inside a sturdy mailer which might possibly be recycled (in an effort to save trees). I ship records the way I like them shipped to me. Simple as that. If you live inside the US, shipping is only available by priority mail (due exclusively to less expensive service's unreliability) and tracking is provided free of charge. Outside of the US, airmail rates apply. IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE US, DO NOT PAY UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE! Insurance is ADDITIONAL and strongly recommended (especially if you live in Italy!).
And yes, I'll be happy to combine shipping. It saves your money, my time and the environment!
