The Abused ‘Loud And Clear’ 7” EP Original 1st Pressing. I know this is a pretty sought after disc (I myself was super stoked when I finally found it in ‘87), so I’ll try to be a bit more descriptive than usual, starting with the cover:

- It’s in good shape, still has a nice sheen to it - looks really good in my opinion.

-Theres a little roughness here and there that you have to really look for.

- There’s a small split in the lower right hand corner that almost looks like it’s part of the design, but it’s not. I’ve shown a close up in the pictures.

- The seams on either side are starting to split.

On the back, if you hold it at the right angle to the light you can see where some glue got dripped from when they were gluing the sleeves. I think that’s kinda cool actually. Once again, I’ve tried to show it in the pics - can’t really see it otherwise.

The vinyl is in nice shape as well. At first glance it looks awesome, but when you look closer you’ll see there’s minor surface scuffs.

And then there’s the insert. Oh boy, I love the insert, because whoever originally put it in there folded it up origami style. And you can tell by the creasing it was always like that - no aftermarket origami here ;-)

As with all my photos Ignore spots on the vinyl - there’s crazy amounts of static electricity around here & it’s just dust.

In the process of selling a good deal of very rare & old punk and hardcore records from my 30+ year personal collection. Going to be listing Revelation, Dischord, X-Claim, Misfits, NYHC, etc. Keep an eye on my listings. Or don’t. See the last photos for a small sampling of what’s coming up.

I’m a collector and I ship the way I want rare items shipped to me - so have no fear, your record(s) will arrive safe. And of course I combine shipping on multiple purchases.

I was really hoping to not be “that guy” with a bunch of stupid rules and caveats - but I’d like to mention that (unless I say a record is new, mint, unplayed, etc): the majority of records in my collection have been played & enjoyed, some over many years.

So if you’re the type of collector who wears lint-free white cotton gloves when you handle your vinyl - that’s great, I applaud your attention to the little things. But, I also ask that you not bid on my auctions. You’ll save us both a great deal of time & trouble, because there’s very little chance my records are going to hold up under your expert scrutiny. Life is too short, mkay?

One last thing: I’m not currently accepting offers on my records - the auction format is it for now.

Thanks for reading this far, and good luck.
