Description
UNDERTONES "TEENAGE KICKS" EP (GOOD VIBRATIONS,GOT 4) UK/1978
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL OF THIS CLASSIC DISC WITH THE ORIGINAL LABEL & POSTER SLEEVE.HAVING LIVED IN NORTHERN IRELAND FOR MANY YEARS I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE COPIES OF THIS DISC,A BLACK & WHITE SLEEVE IS OBVIOUSLY THE MOST COMMON AND EVEN OVER HERE THE COLOURED PAPER SLEEVES ARE QUITE SCARCE.PINK SEEMS TO TURN UP MORE THAN MOST BUT BLUE,GREEN & YELLOW ALL SEEM TO BE EQUALLY SCARCE.UNFORTUNATELY THIS ISN'T THE PERFECT MINT COPY YOU'D LIKE TO OWN BUT IT'S STILL DESIRABLE.
SLEEVE CONDITION:THE TOP OF THE POSTER SLEEVE HAS SOME WEAR,A 5cm SPLIT AT ONE OF THE FOLDED SEAMS AND A FEW SMALLER 1cm TEARS.EACH CORNER HAS A FAINT MARK WHERE I ASSUME THE POSTER HAD BEEN DISPLAYED ON A WALL AT SOME STAGE.OTHERWISE THERE'S LIGHT HANDLING USE AND A SMALL CREASE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER.
RECORD CONDITION:GRADED UNDER A 100W SPOTLIGHT THE DISC IS CLEAN AND DISPLAYS ONLY A FEW SUPERFICIAL MARKS,HOWEVER,THE WHOLE VINYL SURFACE HAS A "MISTY" SILVERY GREY EFFECT WHICH SOMETIMES OCCURS WHEN A RECORD IS STORED IN A HEAVY PVC SLEEVE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME COMBINED WITH CERTAIN TEMPERATURE CHANGES,IT'S SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS VINYL "SWEATING".I DON'T THINK IT SHOWS UP IN THE SCAN BUT I ASSUME MOST COLLECTORS KNOW WHAT I'M REFERRING TO.FORTUNATELY,THE PLAYING IS LARGELY UNAFFECTED BY THIS,THERE'S SOME BACKGROUND NOISE ON BETWEEN & PRE TRACK RUN INS BUT THE ACTUAL MUSIC PLAYS VERY NICELY WITH NO PROBLEMS.BOTH LABELS ARE CLEAN BUT ONE OF THE PRONGS OF THE PUSH OUT CENTRE IS LOOSE.
GOOD LUCK BIDDING & PLEASE LOOK AT MY OTHER ITEMS,I HAVE A FEW SCARCE PUNK/HEAVY ROCK DISCS ON AUCTION AT THE MOMENT.
