GRADING (also refer photos)

Record:

M- visual: beautiful glossy sheen—few insignificant hairlines only (side 1: EX+, side 2: M-), insignificant minor warp which does not audibly affect play in any way.  I have NEVER seen a completely flat copy of this EP in all my years of collecting Brisbane punk vinyl! ; audible: sounds superb—hard to fault (M-).  A HIGHLY ENJOYABLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE! ; labels: HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR.  PLAYED TWICE ONLY.

THIS EP HAS HARDLY SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY SINCE IT WAS RELEASED 30+ YEARS AGO.  IMPRESSIVE COPY – BID WITH CONFIDENCE!
