Description
Sordide Sentimental by Joy Division Serial #00524 Genuine, original, immaculate, 1980, 7" vinyl single
This record hardly ever goes on sale due to its scarcity and immense value.
Bought by a serious fan when first released and owned since new, only ever played twice.
Key points:
- one of the original 1,578 limited releases of Sordide Sentimental - this one is #00524
- still in its (very rare) original sleeve
- comes with the English translation sheet
- in the (even rarer) original special Joy Division Sordide Sentimental marketing plastic bag
Any Joy Division collector will realise this is a unique opportunity to purchase this very rare record...
Proof of original release as described on the Joy Division Central website says....
- record labels are black with silver writing
- foldout cover is numbered with the 2 faces on the background image
- matrix number SS33002
- in every original copy, the glue in the plastic wallet to the folder has turned brown
All of the above applies in this instance - see detailed pictures above of the actual record etc.
Condition:
- COVER - the folded thick paper cover is in pristine condition
- INNER - the original white paper inner with squared corners, is also in pristine condition
- TRANSLATION SHEET - is in pristine condition
- VINYL - black vinyl, bright and shiny, no marks, and plays as new with no surface noise
- LABELS - original paper labels, both sides black with silver writing in perfect condition
- PLASTIC MARKETING BAG - in very good condition with no tears
This is the first of a handful of very rare Joy Division records and memorabilia that I am thinking of selling soon.
The others being considered for sale include:
- the original 12" version of An ideal For Living
- the 'fake' version of Sordide Sentimental which is pretty rare in its own right
- several Joy Division test pressings and picture discs
I will be happy to answer any queries you may have - just send me a message via eBay,
However please don't send me a silly low offer! I know the value of this record, as will any serious collector, hence the starting price. I'd like the auction to run its course to give all serious fans the same opportunity to bid whatever value it is to them!
Will sell anywhere in the world if the buyer is happy to pay the postage at cost and of course will be responsible for any import tax, if applicable.
PAYMENT:
If collecting in person - cash on collection or instant bank transfer.
If posting - much prefer bank transfer.
As the value is so high, I will accept a paypal payment if the buyer agrees to pay the paypal selling fees (UK buyers 3.4% + 20p, International - 3.4% plus a currency conversion fee).
POSTAGE: Collection in person preferred, but happy to post if required, but I will only send it by Royal Mail, tracked and signed for with high insurance.
If posted, it will be wrapped securely to provide complete protection.
UK - I would rather it be sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery with the highest level insurance, guaranteed 'Next Day Delivery by 1pm'. This will cost approximately £10.50.
International - will be sent the safest way possible, tracked and signed for with guaranteed delivery. NB the price quoted is an estimate to USA, the final actual price will depend on country and level of insurance and will be calculated on sale.
Many thanks for your interest!
