X-RAY SPEX – FULLY SIGNED 1977 UK DEBUT 7” ‘OH BONDAGE UP YOURS’

You are about to bid on a very rare fully autographed copy of the classic debut single by X-Ray Spex. It is probably one of the best UK punk records ever made. It is the original, bought on day of release and autographed not long after by the band. One previous owner from new (that was who got it signed).

The sleeve has been signed by Poly Styrene, Jak Airport, Paul Dean, BP Hurding & Steve ‘Rudi’. Poly has also drawn a face under her name & written No 1 on her forehead which I can only assume was where she wanted the single to go (it didn’t). However is now seen as one of the most important singles of the 1970’s UK punk scene.

The signatures are all written in what looks like black ballpoint pen, and although they have faded a bit over time they are still nice and vibrant (they stand out much better than you see on the images - this looks superb in the flesh, so to speak). The condition is the sleeve is Very Good, with no rips or tears, just a little nick to the opening edge and a little fraying. The record is Nr Mint.

You will not find much signed by this legendary London punk band today, This is a very very rare item.  One of the defining records of the UK Punk era, and in my opinion up there with the GSTQ, New Rose etc.  Finding genuine signed X-Ray Spex memorabilia is rarer than Hen's teeth.  If you have never heard this band do yourself a favour & go buy ‘Germ Free Adolescence’, it is an amazing record.

This along with my entire record collection recently moved with me from London to Australia, I will be selling a large part of it off over the coming weeks/months. This will include many many rare UK punk records & maybe one or two other signed items if I can stand to part with them. I also have a signed copy of the Germ Free Adolescence 7” which I may or may not list depending of what this one achieves.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING!

I am now based in Australia, so all my records will now be shipped from here. Regardless of what eBay states, postage is not free. I will accept international payments via paypal only. You will have 5 days from the end of the auction to make the payment. If payment is not received by this time then a non paying bidder report will be submitted to eBay and the item will be re-listed. Can’t make it any clearer than that.

There will be plenty more very rare vinyl coming your way over the next year or so, so if you are a genuine bidder you are welcome, if however you are just going to waste my time & mess me about DO NOT BID! You will be reported to eBay as a non paying bidder and probably banned.

POSTAGE RATES:

As mentioned above eBay seems to think that I still live in the UK and applies my local postage rate (which is bizarrely now 0.00GBP to the UK bidders) and then charges international postage for Australian bidders which is just plenty effin stupid as I am registered as an Australian user.
 
WAIT FOR ME TO SEND YOU AN INVOICE WITH ADJUSTED POSTAGE BEFORE PAYING!! Please DO NOT send me payments with the incorrect postage. If you do I will deny your  payment and invoice you again. 

Postage: Worldwide flat-rate by Air to UK, USA & anywhere else that isn’t Australia
 7”EP: 8 GBP
12”LP: 17 GBP

Postage: Australia-wide

 7”EP: 4 GBP
12”LP: 8.50 GBP

If you don't agree with these rates DO NOT BID.

If your total winnings go over 50.00 GBP you MUST pay an additional fee for the REGISTERED service that provides tracking and delivery confirmation. Due to the high number of packets “going missing” or scum buyers taking advantage of seller unfriendly paypal policies, this is non negotiable!

And just so that it is clear: All items are sent from Australia.

I will combine postage for multiple items and make sure all records are packaged to withstand idiot baggage handlers playing football with them, ie they will reach you just in the condition you see them now. If ANY these terms are unacceptable please go bid on some other schmuks's records and not mine.
