Unless you have a modified DeLorean I can't see how you will be able to get your hands on

a better copy of  this quintessential Punk album.  A truly stunning copy of Wire's first LP.

An absolute must for fans and collectors alike.

Outer sleeve is in very very good condition. Please see listing images. The spin of the cover is crack free.

The inner sleeve is the version with rounded corners and printed lyrics. This is a sure sign it is a true 1st pressing from 77

The condition is excellent there is some discolouration of the white card surface which can be seen in the listing images.

The record label is spindle mark free on both sides.

The condition of the playing surfaces is as near mint as I believe you are likely to find.

The vinyl is totally scuff and scratch free, beautifully glossy and dust and fingerprint free.

A Side and B side nothing... absolutely nothing

You will see from my other listings that I usually describe here any and all imperfections on the surface of the vinyl and I am

very very picky and and try to describe anything at all that I can see no mater how faint or superficial but on this occasion I have

absolutely nothing to mention.

Unless otherwise stated every record was purchased by myself from new and only ever played

by myself on my own deck and with as expensive a cartridge as I could afford at the time.

When it comes to attributing a grading to each of my records I will confess I am not an expert.

And while both the Goldmine standard and The Record Collectors systems give us a number of agreed fundamentals

to help determine a grading for vinyl and its associated media, attributing a true and accurate grading to something as

individual as a pre-owned piece of Vinyl is unavoidably subjective.

One person's 'slight scuff' may be another's deal breaker.

With this in mind I will endeavour to describe as accurately as possible, in the descriptions of each listing,

not only what I feel to be a fair grading, but also an overall description of the record in question, along with details

of any and all marks, defects and anomalies I can see.

I am a firm believer in the maxim of - if you can feel it you can hear it.

So if there is anything that looks or feels like it may possibly affect a record's playing quality or sound clarity,

and therefore the pleasure derived from listening to it or its true value to an collector, I will give it one final spin

and make my findings known in the product description.

Over and above this I am happy to take returns.

I personally wouldn't bid on a pre-owned record without the option to return it if I felt that the seller hadn't been

totally truthful and transparent in their description of it, or that on receipt it didn't live up to my expectations. 

And I do not expect you to do so either. 

So please, feel free to bid with confidence.

I am a professional photographer by trade, and have gone to great lengths to light and photograph covers, inner sleeves

and the vinyl themselves in such a way as to show, as accurately as possible, the actual condition of all.

Rest assured that what you see is exactly what will be despatched to you if you are the successful winner of each listing.

Before photographing each record went through a three stage cleaning process:

1 - Removal of any surface dust with a light brushing over with a carbon fibre and velvet disc cleaning pad

2 - Deep cleaning with large (Big Fudge) velvet pad and cleaning solution

3 - A final brushing with a Pro-Ject carbon fibre record brush.

And finally, because Mr or Mrs  Poasty may not handle your record with the same care and reverence that you or I would,

I will dispatch in a specialised corrugated cardboard record mailing outer, and if I feel even more protection is required

I will also include two extra sheets of 3mm corrugated cardboard for added safety and protection.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and for showing an interest

in giving a new home to one of my records.

I have other listings live right now and will be adding new ones on a regular basis,

so please do take a peak and stay tuned for more.
