Brilliant Sydney guitarmeisters The Eastern Dark with a limited edition two disc blue vinyl pressing of their Girls On The Beach (With Cars) album. This album comes with both it's inner sleeves and one sleeve has been autographed by bass player / backing vocalist Bill Gibson (who was also the MC for the The Lime Spiders as well as later playing with The Hellmenn, Smelly Tongues, The New Christs, The Lemonheads and others). The inscription reads "I wish this was me!" followed by Bill's autograph above a photo of guitarist / vocalist James Darroch who's tragic death from a car accident on the Hume highway bought the band to a halt in March 1986. The album is comprised of both studio and live cuts, originals as well as covers (including a great version of The Soft Boys' 'I Wanna Destroy You').

These records come from my personal collection. They have all been extremely well cared for over the years since I bought them (but they do not come from a pet or smoke free environment). Circumstances have forced my hand & I will be listing a number of my treasured records, ranging from punk to psych/prog to soul to folk to blues and everything inbetween, over the coming months. If you like this record there is a good chance others I am selling may tickle your fancy, so please feel free to have a look. It may have been some time since some of these records have been played so they may be in need of a thorough clean before playing. I hope they find their way into the hands of people who will love them as much as I have over the years. Thanks for looking & good luck should you decide to bid.

Waterfront Records: DAMP 100. Australian pressing. Records are graded as EX- / EX-, it's cover graded as VG+ with slight ringwear, slight edgewear and name written inside record entry slit & it's inner sleeves both graded as VG++.

We use the UK Record Collector grading system and we grade conservatively. We will only use a mint grading for a record we know to have been unplayed.  (M) Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items are in perfect condition. (EX) Excellent: The record shows slight signs of having been played but there is no lessening in sound quality and the cover and packaging are as new. (VG) Very Good: The record has obviously been played quite a few times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality. A slight amount of wear and tear on the cover and extra items is acceptable. (G) Good: The record still produces a reasonable, playable sound but has obviously been played a lot. Although showing wear and tear, neither the record or cover/extra items display major defects. (F) Fair: Sound quality has deteriorated markedly. The cover/extra items display folding, scuffing, marks etc.

Please note that this record has been graded visually only.

 Any glare in the photos is from my lack of photographic skills only. 

Records are posted twice weekly and generally will be sent within two to three working days of payment arriving. Records are packaged extremely carefully (we are after all record collectors ourselves) using both cardboard and bubblewrap. We guarantee the condition of the records and their covers/inserts etc are accurately described and that any photos used are of the actual record/cover/insert for sale. We cannot however guarantee the safety of your purchase once it is in the hands of the postal services. For this reason registered post for is offered and recommended to all buyers. Should you require these services please specify this when making payment. Australia Post has now introduced Registered Post for parcels overseas. It comes at a cost of $5.00 and comes with $100.00 postal insurance. Registered Post for buyers from Brazil, Italy, Russia & Mexico is compulsory. This is due to records we have posted to these destinations in the past never arriving.

Recently a number of factors including illness & injury have negatively affected our postage timetable. To everyone who had to wait longer than normal for their records we would like to offer our sincerest apologies. The factors that caused these delays are now resolved and records will be posted within two to three working days of confirmation of payment.

Please understand that we live in a small country town and mail often takes a little longer to reach it's destination than that sent from a major city.
