What is it?
Coming Up Roses - I Said Ballroom (Utility UTIL 5, 1989)
Dolly Mixture were the most amazing band ever. Well, they were pretty amazing anyway. Rachel Bor married Captain Sensible and I presume they had a daughter cause I saw someone who looked alarmingly like her at a Damned concert in the mid-1990s and it unless Ms Bor was freeze-dried in 1983, it cannot have been her. Anyway, pre-Saint Etienne and Birdie, Debsey Wykes gave pop stardom another go, along with Hester Smith, as Coming Up Roses, and once more missed by about a million, million miles. This, like every other record on Utility barring Billy Bragg's first records, sold next to nothing at the time despite being great; like Dolly Mixture but slightly slicker. I had a CD copy of this (really!) and sold it on eBay a while back knowing I had it on LP. What I didn't remember was that i had TWO COPIES of the LP too. Hence, I am selling this. It's brill.
Condition
Sleeve: EXCELLENT: It is in original shop condition but may have got bumped in the bag on the bus home.
Record: EXCELLENT: Played sparingly. I am geeky and treat my records nice. Incidentally, my principle (commercial suicide as it may be) is never to grade as MINT unless I know for an absolute fact that the record has never been played before.
TRUST MY GRADINGS; I worked in a top London collectors shop for years, and my VG is most people's MINT on eBay.
I recycle packaging when possible; it's cheap and also the right thing to do, people.
