This item was a limited-run of 5000 in 1979, of which 4700 sold in 4 months!

Sadly this set does not have the original stickers (good luck finding one with…)

The sleeve has been put into a cellophane/plastic sleeve to protect it and bar a few face creases is spotless; any other marks visible in the pictures are the plastic sleeve. We’re calling it EX conservatively.

Sides C and D have some denting and minor marks to the labels but otherwise all are clean, there is some deformity to the very external edge of this second disc but nothing affecting play (looks potentially to do with pressing). NO WARP.

There are some minor pops on the Side D, but otherwise all 4 sides play through beautifully with some minor crackle and surface noise on the run-ins - we’re going with EX conservatively as there are some very fine marks where applicable to be seen on the playing surface at all.

This is part of a Punk/New-Wave collection we’re selling on behalf of a client, whom has them from the first time round! Lots of 1st press rarities to follow and in our shop to browse (more Joy division to come!). He’s removed many of the singles to alphabetised inners for storage, and as a result his collection is generally EX or better!

Please bear in mind I take our pictures under very strong light to aid transparency, sleeves/labels are not discoloured unless stated and scratches/marks WILL appear worse than when handled.

This item will only be sent tracked and insured due to rarity - apologies for any inconvenience.
