Description
Hi there! Now, I just bought a VERY nice but small collection of vinyl from a late 70's/early 80's Mod/Punk collector, who really knew his stuff...but not only that, he was one of those guys who liked his records to remain in the SAME condition he bought them in (that may include the odd item that was not perfectly mint when he bought it)...everything was in plastic covers, stored in solid well-structured boxes, the tops of the records did NOT poke up above the box rim so they didn't get flattened/bent by another box being put on top...you get the gist, right. Every item had been LOVED, and treated with respect...we love people like that, right? Anyway, this is from that collection:
ARTIST: the HITMEN
TITLES:
1. "I WANT YOU"
2. "TELLTALE HEART"
FORMAT: …vinyl 7” single…
LABEL: WEA .
CATALOGUE #: 100129 .
PRESSED IN: Australia .
DATE OF RELEASE: March 1980 .
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING?: ...Yes, it is...
CONDITION: (cover/record): (EX / EX)...vinyl is very shiny and the only blemishes are a couple of VERY light marks/scuffs...plays beautifully!!
After WEA's budget for pic sleeves for the Hitmen was expended on their first single ("Didn't Tell The Man") the year before, and had nowhere near recouped their expenditure, the label refused to pony-up the dosh for a PS for this their second single. The artwork had already been completed (a Warwick Gilbert design), so the band paid for it to be printed themselves, and then took copies of the finished pic sleeve around to record stores who'd stocked the single...about 2 weeks after release...they made 500 covers but less than a couple of hundred were ever matched up with the vinyl...and the rest of the covers were eventually destroyed...so what we have here is a VERY rare item...
If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks). You can pay in US$'s, Australian $'s, or UK pounds...whatever suits you best (using www.xe.com for any conversions).

PACKING:
Don’t worry - we pack anything you buy VERY CAREFULLY to make sure it arrives in EXACTLY the condition it left here. More specifically, in the way we'd like to receive parcels ourselves. All vinyl is removed from it's picture cover to avoid any sleeve damage, and both cover and vinyl are sealed in plastic, and then packed within very sturdy thick cardboard...the idea is to ensure you won't be disappointed!
WE MAIL OUT TWICE A WEEK.
