Description

This is TRACK 4 with their original, very scarce private pressing release.

Tracks are: Mr Charisma / Freetime / Chalk & Cheese

The vinyl is 'mottled' but this is characteristic of this pressing; otherwise, there are no scratches or other marks. If it wasn't for the mottling, it would look NM.

I imagine this was pressed fairly cheaply, hence the mottling. There is also what appears to be 'overprint' on the side A label; again, probably a result of the press.  See the photos; there's nothing to hide.

Fold-over pic sleeve is clean and undamaged; likewise the lyric insert.

Playing it as I type this; first time I've heard it in years (I forgot I had it). It puts me in mind of Thin Lizzy/early Maiden, with a bit of a punk-influenced edge. It plays perfectly. Production is not brilliant, but it was all about the money, as usual. It has a rough 'n' ready enthusiasm. I've certainly heard worse...

Signed-For postage in UK is £2.50; other countries please ask. Anything selling for over £20 to a non-UK buyer needs to be posted via a signed-for service by air mail. Prices vary but they buyer will pay only what the P.O. charges me. I don't greedily profit from postage costs. Packaging is free. And very good.

On 30-Mar-18 at 16:59:52 BST, seller added the following information:

I think the 'overprint' on the label may be from the lyric insert. The label also has marks but I can't tell what they're from, as my eyes aren't brilliant. They should be obvious in the photos. A scarce record, regardless.
