Description
HERE IS MY COPY OF THE POP RIVETS 1ST ALBUM "GREATEST HITS" RELEASED IN 1979 ON HYPOCRITE RECORDS, FEATURING THE SEMINAL 'WILD' BILLY CHILDISH.
AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, AFTER A FAIR BIT OF RESEARCH, THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSING OF THE RECORD. THE COVER AND LABEL ARE BOTH HAND SPRAYED AND STAMPED.
THE SLEEVE SHOWS A FAIR BIT OF WEAR, THERE ARE RING MARKS BOTH SIDES, THE SPINE HAS CRACKED A BIT AND THERE ARE A FEW SCUFFS AN CREASES. I WOULD SAY THERE IS NOTHING REALLY MAJOR OTHER THAN THE SPINE.
THE INNER SLEEVE HAS GIVEN WAY AT THE BOTTOM BUT IS WORTH KEEPING AS THE STAMP FROM THE LABEL HAS PARTLY GONE ON TO IT (SEE PIC).
THE LABEL IS IN FINE CONDITION WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SPINDLE WEAR.
THE RECORD ITSELF BEARS A FEW SURFACE MARKS BUT ON PLAYING ALL THERE IS IS THE OCCASIONAL POP AND CRACKLE WHICH WOULD PROBABLY CLEAR UP WITH PROPER CLEANING. TO BE HONEST LISTENING TO IT TODAY TO DETERMINE THE QUALITY OF IT WAS THE 1ST TIME I'VE PLAYED IT IN AT LEAST 20 IF NOT 25 YEARS.
