WE ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING TO SAVE YOU MONEY AND WE ALWAYS SHIP WITH TRACKING. YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY!
From Harvest Records (SHSP 4076), this is PINK FLAG by WIRE,
an original (first) UK pressing from 1977 in really nice condition. Jacket
is NEAR MINT MINUS or better; original inner sleeve is about MINT.
The LP appears MINT and play grades from EX to MINT with very soft,
intermittent extraneous noise which never intrudes into the music. There
is no distortion even in the more dynamic passages and even when cranked
up. It is a rare thin-edge pressing and, in addition, is a promo piece.

postal rates. We can save you a few dollars.

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you
are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home,
a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden
parachute. Instead, you’re helping a little girl get
dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey,
a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage,
or a student pay for college. Our customers are our
shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy.
Thank you for supporting small businesses.
