Description
A few months back, over a couple of fun trips, I bought a huge vinyl collection from a friend who worked with me at Phantom Records (in the '90's) and who'd amassed a gigantic collection of wonderfully kept and thoroughly researched LP's, 7"s and relevant 12"s - from the classic punk era (1976-1981) was his specialty, but also records from the few years after that era, as some of those bands progressed into the mid-'80's while keeping their integrity intact (the likes of Public Image, Siouxsie, the Cure spring to mind). To give you an example of his fastidiousness, his collection includes 60 different editions of the Pistols "Never Mind The Bollocks" LP - from every conceivable country, and every edition he could uncover. Anyway, he's been particular about maintaining items in their original condition - most he bought brand new at the time...(however this may mean that some he picked up second-hand weren't exactly mint to start with - those will be obvious by the gradings below). He'd been buying records I believe from about 1975/76 right up until recently. It's a truly wonderful collection; he'd not sold any of it previously so it was complete - some of the items are super rare and some are simply very nice copies of classic records - and I felt utterly privileged to be offered it first. Mostly though, YOU get to benefit from his meticulousness.
Here then, is one of the items from his collection:
ARTIST: BLONDIE -
TITLE: "BLONDIE" .
FORMAT: …vinyl LP…
LABEL: CHRYSALIS [distributed by Festival Records Pty. Ltd.] .
CATALOGUE #: L-36,448 .
DATE OF RELEASE: 1976 (on labels), 1976 (on back cover) .
PRESSED IN: Australia .
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING?: No...although released in December 1976 in the USA and UK, this LP was first released here in Feb. 1977, initially on Private Stock through EMI, then when the band signed to Chrysalis, it was issued here by Festival Records in about May 1977 on the green labels with red butterfly (this pressing). In August '77, Festival changed the Chrysalis label to the more common blue and white design and issued the LP again. So basically, this issue was only available for about 3 months max.
This one is an original promotional copy, with red and white promo sticker on the Side One label.
CONDITION:
COVER/VINYL: ( EX- / EX- )...very shiny vinyl with just a few very light scuffs/marks...(plays beautifully!)...cover has small tear at the top of the spine and some light scuffing...
LABELS: (Side One: MINT / Side Two: MINT )...
If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).Thanks for considering this item...Cheers, Jules.
