Description

Please read the full description (including ‘The Important Bit’ below) and look carefully at the photos before buying (apologies for the amount of reflection in them). 

This is an original 1980 UK First Press copy of Grotesque (after the gramme) by The Fall, released on Rough Trade (ROUGH 18).   

There is a small scuff on the top edge of the sleeve plus, unfortunately we had a couple of hamsters around this time who were real escape artists and one of them has chewed the bottom right corner of the sleeve so if you're looking for a perfect sleeve; this one isn't for you.  The inner sleeve is in good condition but again with a chewed corner courtesy of the hamster.  

The record looks good with no obvious scratches.  The labels are in good clean condition.  The matrix / run outs are as follows:
Side A: A PORKY PRIME CUT ROUGH 18 A1 Side B: A PORKY PRIME CUT U THOUGHT IT'D BE GREAT WOE WOE ETC ETC ROUGH18 B1 EG
It goes without saying that it would be better if the hamster hadn't eaten part of the sleeve but I like to think he was pretty punk as hamsters go!

I will post the LP in packaging designed for the job ready for sending via Royal Mail 2nd class parcel service.  Oh… and yes, if you want to buy more than one, I’ll combine postage where possible!

The Important Bit!

This is one of a number of vinyl LPs that I am reluctantly selling to free up space. This one, like all the others, has not been played for many years as I gave up my ‘turntable’ in the late 80s when I started a family and CD’s just became an easier/safer option (but even so I kept the LPs and even bought a few more post turntable because I just didn't want to part with them). I have visually inspected every one that I'm listing and noted any identified problems in the individual LP description (above).

Please feel free to ask any questions.
