Normally at this point, in writing all this up, I'd throw the towel in and just go down the pub for a few beers and to chat up the barmaid (Alice).

But, because this is such a beautiful item I'm going to give you another 1 minute of waffle.

I acquired this around 2013 off a very reputable Punk Rock Vinyl Collector.

Normally I've only ever collected The Damned but this came along and I ended up owning it.

So Numbnuts, time to get listing your Kajagoogoo vinyl and Right Said Fred CD's - that should cover the postage.

Then get your older sister's copy of Elton John's "Yellow Brick Road" (Signed - allegedly, by Elton) and put that up as a "Buy Now" @ £15.47...

You've now got the postage and packaging covered.

As for the rest, Rob a Bank or hold up a Starbucks, that's up to you (but no violence please).

Yet more "Waffle"...

The sleeve has a few marks on it (see pics) and 1/4 of the way down from top right there is slight damage to the card (see pics).

Otherwise considering what this is, its in great condition.
