Description

Back in the day I bought anything associated with Marc Bolan, and so The Fast Set Junction 1 single from 1980, with its slow electro version of the Children of the Revoution on the B-side certainly attracted me. Little did I know then that the Axis record label (of which this is Axis 1), would change its name and become 4AD, famous for championing many an electronic and synth band later in the decade. 

This very rare record now fetches some excellent prices, but I'm putting on a low starting bid to ensure it gets a good home (and hopefully for me, some lively bidding action!)

So this is The Fast Set; I didnt play this a great deal, but I have to point out there is a little background noise for the first few seconds of play on this record. Junction 1 is fairly slow, but a good tune, while Children of the Revolution isn't like any other version I've heard ; slow and electro (think Coil's version of Tainted Love if you are stuck).

Despite the very initial slight clicking, I think overall this is a record in Excellent condition, while the sleeve (printed on thick paper rather than card, is a little bent, and so is in very good condition (I defy anyone given the thickness of the paper to have much better!). I use the ratings below to describe my records.

I'm happy to refund if you can explain how I've missold the record and you send it me back (I do not entertain negotiating discounts). I'm also happy to give a discount for multiple purchases. i accept paypal, UK cheque and hard US, UK or Euro cash.

Happy bidding!    

  

Mint (M)

A record in mint condition should be in perfect, brand new condition. There should be no evidence of wear and tear, and the vinyl should show no signs of having being repeatedly played.

Near Mint (NM)

As the name implies, a near mint record should be almost perfect. The vinyl should show no more than the most minor of defects and the sleeve should be practically flawless. Typically, a record in Near Mint condition would be Mint but for possibly one small defect, maybe a minor surface abrasion on the vinyl or a tiny crease on the sleeve.

Excellent (EX)

A record in Excellent condition will show signs of use in that there will be some light scratches or surface abrasions on the vinyl, but this will not affect the sound quality in any way. The sleeve may have some tiny amounts of scuffing or have some small creasing in the corner tips.

Very Good (VG)

A record in Very Good condition will have numerous light scratches or scuffs on the vinyl, but it should still play without noticeable deterioration of the sound quality. The sleeve may have a small split, or have noticeable scuffing and creasing along the edges. The label may be slightly discoloured and some ring wear may be visible.

Good (G)

An record in Good condition can be played without hopping or skipping, but there may be some hissing or extra surface noise. The sleeve will have some seem splits, scuffing, creasing, and may also be discoloured. Ring wear may well be visible and inner sleeves may show signs of wear and tear.
