Last Resort - A Way Of Life LP RED w/shop Catalogue Oi

	£		23
	$		30

here's an original copy of the Last Resort's classic - A Way of Life Skinhead Anthems on red vinyl from 1982. This is in excellent condition, showing only a very few signs of wear.

This also comes with a perfect Last Resort catalogue (original to this lp - which was only available from the Last Resort shop as I recall.). i've seen photocpies of this catalogue go for silly money!

Herne Bay’s The Last Resort took their name from a skinhead shop in East London owned by Mickey French, and a four-track cassette by the band’s first line-up was sold from it. A personnel change saw singer Graham Saxby leave, Roi Pearce move from bass to vocals and new bassist Arthur Kitchener drafted in. A demo was recorded, but the band took off after two of their tracks featured on the Strength Thru Oi! compilation. Their finest moment, however, came on its follow-up Carry On Oi!: the broodingly anthemic King Of The Jungle.

With the financial backing of French, the band set up their own label for their debut album A Way Of Life and, on the whole, did a good job. The 11 songs were solid Oi! fare, not as biting as the 4-Skins or as exuberant as the Cockney Rejects, but hard-hitting and a little bit scary. The album did well, reaching No 6 on the indie chart in May 1982, but disputes with French ended with the band moving on to briefly become The Warriors before Pearce took over vocals with the 4-Skins. But that’s another story.

I DO NOT SELL ANYTHING THAT I WOULD NOT BE HAPPY TO RECEIVE MYSELF!

VINYL CONDITION: I'm listing over the up coming months my entire personal collection of somewhere in the region of 2 or 3 thousand items i'd guess. I can guarentee that every single item that i sell if free from scratches or jumps and will play perfectly (may be the odd pop or hiss, occasionally a surface scuff but that's it). where there is a major flaw in the cover, i will happily state this. I do NOT give record collector style mint/near mint etc reviews of each record - life is too short! (Besides,it such an arbitary system, it has no value) If it is DESPERATE that you need to know condition - please ask and i will ATTEMPT to answer. I will try and mention anything in the review above. Check my feedback though - 99% of my records are in mint / pristine condition!!!

FAVOURITES - Please add me to your favourite sellers list. Over the coming months my ENTIRE collection is going up. US/JAP/UK punk/hardcore '80-90s.

PAYMENT - Will accept Paypal/cheque/PO.  I do not think it unreasonable to expect to receive payment from you within 3 days of auction close if using Paypal, 7 days if cheque/PO. (If there is a problem - let me know, i'm actually a very reasonable chap!) If I have not heard from you within 7 days a Non Paying Bidder alert WILL be processed and negative feedback left. The item will then be re-listed, so be warned - if you don't pay up - you lose it! PLEASE do not ignore emails and then say you were 'out of town', 'my mother is dead' or associated rubbish.

US Buyers - If you are new to buying from overseas - don't worry! I have completed well over 500 transactions with US buyers now. Paying by Paypal could not be simpler - you will be advised by Paypal how much in US dollars the sterling amount is. There's no calculations or anything difficult about it - Paypal will convert everything for you. I only post airmail, so your vinyl should ordinarily reach you in around 5-7 days (although I have known stuff to arrive in 3 days!!).

FEEDBACK - Please leave feedback when item(s) received. On receiving this I will leave positive feedback for you (sorry, fed up of chasing people for feedback/ensuring everythings arrived ok) Cheeky i know, but there you go!

POSTAGE RATES: Unlike alot of Ebayers at present, I don't look on P&P charges as extra revenue! I send items well packed (all vinyl sent in proper vinyl cardboard mailers with stiffener. More valuable 7"s are sent in a box with stupid amounts of card!). I will happily combine postage if you've won 2 or more items. Prices below include insurance up to £32. The only way to insure parcels now is either via Special Delivery (inland) or International Signed For (airmail).I would suggest any auction that closes at over £32 should be sent insured (at cost) - I cannot be held responsible for any items lost/damaged in the postal system that are not insured. I will offer any help i can - including the proof of postage that i receive for every single item i post.

PLEASE be aware that postage costs include the costs of specialised vinyl mailers, stiffeners, packing materials, tape, markers, address stickers etc - not just the stamps!
