Description

Silence -Mother's Game/ Devil Woman -Decca ( 1971 German issue)

Condition: VG+/EX

Holland’s Silence max out on the snotty attitude with this great 2-sider. Mother’s game is tough and crunchy with some amusing lyrics “ I have a cup of tea and a piece of pie..” “I’m riding in a train in vain, yes baby it’s your mother’s game....” (sic). There’s a neat tempo shift at the end with a dual lead which is most effective and probably a Hans Van Hemert touch. Devil Woman is like a proto-punk Communication Breakdown which reminds of Pantherman in its vocal delivery. It also has a spooky middle break and some clumsy drumming

Grading. I don’t use the term Mint. I don’t believe that records manufactured over 30 years ago, even if unplayed, can be called mint.

Grading: Record/Cover

EX: Means either “near mint” to some light marks with hardly any noticeable noise. Sleeve has no or only minor wear.

VG: Means means some light background noise and more pronounced marks which do not affect the listening experience in a major way. Sleeve may be creased, minor discolouring, the odd fraying, some ringwear, seam split and perhaps some writing.

G: Means noticeable clicks or pop, may have scratches, but doesn’t skip or jump. Sleeve may be ripped, tape repair, large writing, sticker removal damage etc...

Fair: Not a pleasant listening experience, the disc is damaged, just a stop gap before upgrading. Sleeve is badly damaged, not one to frame on the wall...

Poor: I don’t sell records in poor condition

Postage: I offer reduced postage if more than 1 record is purchased: UK = 50p for each extra single, Europe =75p and USA/Asia/RoW = £1 extra. If ordering more than 1 single, please await my invoice. There was a significant increase in Royal Mail charges back in April, I have had to adapt postage prices accordingly.

All records sent out in professional mailers with 2 stiffeners. Records removed from sleeve if housed in picture sleeve.

Insurance strongly recommended for high priced items and compulsory for packages of a value of over £80. Insurance added at cost. I retain proof of postage for all items.

Payment: UK= PayPal or cheque (item sent when cheque has cleared). Overseas =PayPal only

Thanks!
