ALL FANS OF THE CURE.... STOP PRESS.....5 LPS UP FOR GRABS!!!
"BOYS DON'T CRY" "JAPANESE WHISPERS" "PORNOGRAPHY" "SEVENTEEN SECONDS" "THE HEAD ON THE DOOR"
I THINK THESE ARE ALL FIRST EDITIONS (APART FROM POSSIBLY "BOYS DON'T CRY" WHICH I THINK IS 2ND EDITION IF NOT 1ST.) IF YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS FOR CERTAIN THEN PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL CHECK IT OUT (BUT I MAY NEED YOU TO TELL ME WHAT TO LOOK FOR!)
I ACQUIRED THESE IN 1992 WHILST AT ART COLLEGE AND BOUGHT THEM FOR A SONG FROM A LAD WHO WAS SELLING A TON OF RECORDS TO GET A TRAIN TICKET TO VISIT HIS NEW LASS... I'D NEVER PARTICULARLY LISTENED TO THE CURE NOR PARTICULARLY LIKED THEM BUT THOUGHT I'D GIVE THEM A GO...NOW OVER 20 YEARS LATER THEY REMAIN FOR THE MOST PART UNPLAYED.
THE VINYL IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION: SOME HAVE THE ODD FINGERPRINT BUT NOTHING THAT AFFECTS PLAY AND THE ONLY VISIBLE MARK IS BETWEEN TRACKS 1 & 2 OF SIDE B ON "PORNOGRAPHY". I HAVE SINCE LISTENED TO THESE 2 SONGS AND THE MARK MAKES VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE TO PLAY, A TINY CLICK BARELY AUDIBLE OVER THE MUSIC.
IN FACT, THE ONLY SOUNDS ARE THE OCCASIONAL CRACKLE BETWEEN TRACKS ON THESE ALBUMS, BARELY AUDIBLE WHEN THE SONGS START....CONSIDERING AGE I WOULD SAY THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED N'EST PAS?
NEVERTHELESS I WOULD GRADE THESE AT EXCELLENT: NICE AND CRISP AND AND VERY LITTLE DUST (EASILY CLEANED WITH A RECORD CLOTH)...NO SCRATCHES APART FROM AFOREMENTIONED MARKS ON "PORNOGRAPHY".
ALL COVERS AND INSERTS ARE IN GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION: SOME HAVE LIGHT WEAR AND TEAR AND A COUPLE HAVE A PRICE TAG RESIDUE BUT NOTHING THAT DETRACTS FROM THE ITEMS' APPEARANCE IMHO (I'M SURE YOU AGREE THAT RECORD SLEEVES LOOK DISTINGUISHED AS THEY AGE! PLEASE REFER TO PHOTOGRAPHS FOR FURTHER INFO) HOWEVER "SEVENTEEN SECONDS" HAS FAINT BROWN SPECKLES FRONT AND BACK. ONLY MINOR IN MY OPINION, AND THOUGH I ONLY NOTICED THIS YESTERDAY I FEEL I SHOULD POINT THIS OUT.
ALL IN ALL A STERLING COLLECTION, IN GREAT OVERALL CONDITION (ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING AGE) THEY HAVE BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER IN SMOKE-FREE HOUSE AND WITH THE REST OF MY COLLECTION IN A DECENT RECORD STORAGE SHELVING UNIT.
I WON'T LIST THE TRACKS AS YOU CAN RESEARCH YOURSELF, BUT IF YOU EVER WANTED A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF CURE LPS (PERHAPS YOU WANT TO START A COLLECTION?) THEN THIS IS A GOOD WAY IN... ALL THE HITS CAN BE FOUND HERE!
I AM STARTING THE AUCTION AT AN UNBELIEVABLY LOW PRICE OF £9.99 (WITH NO RESERVE!) AND £6 P&P (APOLOGIES FOR THE PRICE OF DELIVERY BUT I RECENTLY HAD A RECORD GO MISSING SO I NOW ONLY SEND RECORDS REGISTERED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERY) RECORDS WILL BE SENT IN ONE PARCEL AND IN A RECORD DELIVERY SLEEVE.
HAPPY BIDDING AND GOOD LUCK!!! (ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME.)
