Description

XL CAPRIS - MY CITY OF SYDNEY

Released in 1979

Format: 7" Vinyl Single
Label: Axle
Cat. No. AXLE101
Condition (Sleeve/Vinyl): VG- / VG-
Notes: Sleeve is hand-made by members of the band and is unique as each sleeve looks different.
While the seems are split and there are a few small rips its integrity remains in tact.
Record is graded at VG- as it has many very light scuffs which show only under bright light. Looks EX under regular light.
Would definitely benefit from being cleaned if you intend on listening to it. (There's a few finger prints)

VERY hard to find this record in any condition and with original sleeve.

Synopsis:
After hearing eccentric Australian band XL Capris first single, U.K. producer John Peel was rumored to say, "If that's what Australia's like, I don't want to go there." Released in January 1979, "My City of Sydney," was an unconventional cover of a Tommy Leonetti track used to close the local Channel 7 news broadcast each night. The track received wide local airplay and a second single, "Skylab," followed in 1979, later appearing on the punk compilation Why March When You Can Riot in 1985.

Track listing:

Condition grading:

Mint
Perfect. Record has never been played. Possibly still sealed.

Near Mint (NM)
The record itself is in mint condition and will appear to have not been played. The cover/inserts are perfect.

Excellent (EX)
The record may show very slight signs of play (No more than a couple of slight scuffs). Should play through with no surface noise. Cover and inserts will look near new.

Very Good (VG)
The record may look to have been played a few times but has obviously been well looked after. Should play through without much (if any) surface noise. A slight amount of wear and tear on the cover or insert.

Good (G)
Record shows obvious signs of use. Should play through without skipping but there will be surface noise. Neither record, cover, nor contents will display multiple major defects.

Fair (F)
The record has been mistreated, has multiple faults. Probably scratched. The cover and contents show signs of creasing, scuffing, tears, etc.

A plus (+) or minus (-) may be used when record/cover is in between 2 grades.
