Never Mind the Bollocks Here’s The SEX PISTOLS 2014 Import Vinyl Record LP VG/VG
> . > . >
ARTIST: Sex Pistols
TITLE: Never Mind The Bollocks Here’s the Sex Pistols
FORMAT: LP, Album, Reissue
LABEL: Universal (SexPisLP77)
YEAR: 2014
DESCRIPTION: Italian import. Issued on black vinyl in thin cardboard jacket with inner sleeve replica of the cover.
CONDITION: VG/VG
I bought this new but it came with a couple issues:
Vinyl is glossy but has a scuff on side two that doesn't affect the sound* ; plays with some light surface noise between songs - even though I put it through a hydro-cleaner ; probably closer to VG+, but I'm grading conservatively ;
Jacket still in shrink wrap, but has creases and small wrinkles at each corner. (See photos.) Like many European imports, the cardboard is thinner, and I assume the jacket got beat up during shipping ;
The matching inner sleeve has a few creases but fared better than the jacket. The thinner cardboard of the jacket means that there's not much difference in thickness between the inner and outer sleeves.
So yeah, it's got some imperfections, but, hey, it's the Sex Pistols. It wasn't created for audiophiles, and it's supposed to be kinda annoying. Still, I'm pricing it to reflect these flaws.

SHIPPING: Ships via USPS Media Mail promptly and well-protected in a cardboard record mailer with record outside of cover to prevent split seams, etc. etc. I use recycled packaging materials whenever possible.
* I check surfaces under bright incandescent light and list all visible blemishes. I use Discogs to identify pressings, clean and play test used records and try to follow the Goldmine Standard as best I can when grading, but if upon receiving the record you feel I’ve missed something or my grading is off the mark, please let me know ASAP and we can figure it out.
