I purchased this album when it was originally released in 1977. This is the first issue of this brilliant album and not a re-issue.

A friend named Paul played his copy of Radios Appear (as well as some Velvet Underground records), after uni one day. TV Eye blew me away. The next afternoon I went to Wilson's Record Bar in Crown Street, Wollongong, NSW, and bought this copy. As you can see the album sleeve, vinyl and the insert are in excellent to immaculate condition. You would be hard pressed to find a copy this excellent anywhere. Look at the photographs.

This album has been stored vertically and kept in a click seal soft plastic sleeve since that date. It was played once or twice before I recorded it to TDK SA cassette tape. After that it has been carefully stored.

Tracks:

T.V Eye/Murder City Nights/Anglo Girl Desire/Man With Golden Helmet/Descent Into the Maelstrom/Monday Morning Gunk/Do The Pop/Love Kills/Hand Of Law/New Race/

This album is a piece of rock history. Why play a CD when you can warm up the amp, put the needle in the groove, sit back, drink a beer and listen to an actual slice of rock and roll history? Invite some friends around and impress them with this album.

This is the stuff of musical history and not some antiseptic reissue.

I am selling all my punk and new wave possessions. Stay tuned for more goodies.

I am happy to ship worldwide.

Dear bidders, I have been in contact with several interested watchers and I would like to clarify that this album is indeed an orginal release from 1977. This copy for sale is a release from 1977 and not one of the vinyl reissues of the Radios Appear album from 1978, 1985, 1988 and 1989. Please note that this copy is not to be confused with the other release, also from 1977, that does not mention distribution by WEA in fine print on the label and the sleeve that was also released in 1977. You will see on the label photograph that distribution by WEA is printed. I hope this news provides you with additional information. Best wishes John
