Description

Elvis Costello and the Attractions with their 1st press 1979 vinyl album "Armed Forces" with Cat. No. RAD14 on Radar Records. Comes complete with the four cards and 7" EP in picture sleeve.

The vinyl is in excellent condition with only minor hairlines from previous play and no deep scratches or marks. It played through nicely with no skips or jumps, minor crackle in places and an excellent sound quality. The labels are undamaged.

Outer die cut sleeve is VG+ with no major damage. There is a little discolouration at the edges and a minor tear in one corner(see photos). Inner picture sleeve has ringmarks from storage and a little discolouration but no splits, tears or writing. Overall the whole sleeve looks to have been nicely looked after.

The 7" EP plays without skips, jumps or clicks. There is crackle at the start of each side and during quiet moments but nothing overly intrusive and the music plays through clearly and with an otherwise excellent sound quality. The label on side one has crinkled but is still firmly attached. The EP's outer sleeve has a little discolouration but no splits, tears or writing.

All four photos are in excellent condition with no damage. 

Overall a nice example of a complete and intact album.

I grade all of my records according to The Record Collector Magazines grading system.

I always test play my records on a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable with Ortofon cartridge stylus unless they are in near mint/ mint condition and appear unplayed but the description will state this. I don't sell records with deep scratches or marks that affect the sound quality and enjoyment.

All of our Vinyl is professionally cleaned using a Pro-Ject VC-S record cleaning machine.

The vinyl is then packaged in a protective anti static sleeve, the whole album placed into a protective outer plastic sleeve and then posted in a robust top of the range custom cardboard record mailer. 

All items posted will require a signature to ensure safe delivery, regardless of stated postage costs. If shipping abroad this is in accordance with the Ebay Global Shipping Programme.
