Hello record collectors and vinyl junkies, I'm in the process of selling off the majority of my record collection to finance the ongoing restoration of a classic car...hopefully without going bankrupt! So please check back often, as I'll be listing hundreds of LPs and singles over the next few months.

Anyway, let's continue with this 7" single by the legendary band The Swell Maps. This single was released in 1979 by Rough Trade Records (UK) (RT 021) 

The single contains the tracks Real Shocks (2:16) b/w English Verse (1:12) & Monologues (3:42) 

Front of the picture sleeve is autographed by band members Nikki Sudden and Epic Soundtracks. Nikki and Epic were brothers ( Adrian Nicholas Godfrey and Kevin Paul Godfrey) Sadly, both brothers have passed away, Epic in 1997 and Nikki in 2006.

I obtained both signatures in person, Epic while touring with Crime and the City Solution and Nikki during the Jacobites reunion tour of the United States in 1995.

The sleeve has light wear but no seam splits, rips, tears or other problems. The record has a few very light hairline marks that are visible under a bright spotlight but do not effect play.

Both signatures are bold and legible. Nikki signed with a fine point black sharpie and Epic signed with a ball point pen. 

Signatures by either Nikki or Epic are pretty scarce but obtaining both on the same record is extremely rare...don't miss this one, you may never find another item signed by both!

Please see cover and label photos for track listings.

Overseas shipping is by Air Mail only. Shipping for one single to Canada is $20.00 and everywhere else in the world is $30.00. Sorry about the higher than usual shipping price outside of the United States...due to the rarity of this item I will only ship by Priority Mail that provides a tracking number - please do not ask me to ship by standard mail - I will only ship with a tracking number!

Sorry I no longer ship to Italy or the Russian Federation due to the high number of "lost" packages.

Thanks for looking and good luck!
