THE SINGLES
RARE WITHDRAWN AUSTRALIAN COMPILATION LP
CONDITION: VG+/VG+ (SEE DETAILED DESCRIPTION.)
**FOR SOME REASON THE INITIAL BASE LISTING IS QUOTING THIS AS IN NEW CONDITION, IT ISN'T, OBVIOUSLY.
Australian only 'Best of' release officially licensed by polygram in 1985 which was only available on late night adverts/shopping channels (kind of what QVC/Time Life etc is now). the usa parent company of polygram (australia) POLYGRAM USA got wind of it via Simmons/Stanley and the release was pulled after only a week or so.not many of these come up for sale 33 years later. i obtained it a gift from a relative in australia when i was 13 years old (i always wanted to hear strutter 78 but could i find a cheap copy of double platinum in the mid 80's? (no being the short answer) THE SLEEVE: THE SLEEVE HAS AVERAGE WEAR (SEE PHOTOS) DUE TO AGE. TO MY KNOWLEDGE IT WAS NEVER SHRINKWRAPPED. IT WAS SEALED HOWEVER AS THE THE CONCEPT RECORDS MAIL ORDER COMPANY'S STICKER WAS ON THE SLEEVE OPENING. (IN THE PICS OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE LP COVER DEAD CENTRE YOU CAN SEE EVIDENCE OF THIS) THERE ARE NO SPLITS/TEARS ON THIS COVER. OVERALL GRADE APPROX VG+
THE RECORD:
THE DISC ITSELF IS VERY CLEAN RETAINING A NICE GLOSSY SHEEN TO IT.(I ONLY WANTED THE LP FOR STRUTTER '78) THERE IS THE ODD SCUFF HERE AND HERE NOTHING MAJOR. ON THE RUN IN GROOVE ON SIDE A AT APPROX 1 O'CLOCK THERE IS A MARK. (IVE TRIED TO HIGHLIGHT THIS IN ONE OF THE PICS USING REALLY STRONG LIGHT) IT WAS ALWAYS ON THE LP FROM WHEN I FIRST HAD IT SO CAN ONLY ASSUME IT HAPPENED AT THE PRESSING PLANT. IT ONLY CAUSED A FEW POPS WHEN IT WAS PLAYED (SIDE 1 WAS ONLY PLAYED A FEW TIMES AS I OWNED ALL THE LPS THOSE TRACKS WERE ON)
THE LABELS: THEY ARE VERY CLEAN. SIDE A DOES HAVE A FEW SPINDLE MARKS ON IT (AGAIN DUE TO STRUTTER 78 BEING ON SIDE B) SIDE B HAS ONE FAINT SPINDLE MARK.
OVERALL SIDE A IS VG+ SIDE B IS CLOSER TO NM SO IM CONSERVATIVELY GRADING IT AT VG+
