Descriptions and gradings (Record Collector Grading System used - all vinyl examined under strong light):
One Vice At A Time - 1982 UK pressing, Cat No. SPART 1189 Condition: Vinyl in EX condition, looks seldom played. Sleeve in VG+ condition, 2 faint areas of laminate peel due to price label removal and a few small creases around edges. Complete with insert in EX condition Comments: Infectious and enjoyable LP which includes the hits "Long Stick Goes Boom", "Down The Drain", "Playin' The Outlaw" and a superb cover of The Guess Who's "American Woman" The Blitz - 1984 European pressing printed in Germany, Cat No. 206 494 Condition: Vinyl in EX condition, just a few light sleeve removal hairlines which do not affect play. Sleeve has a small tear mark on front cover top left due to price label removal, otherwise in EX condition overall. Complete with printed inner sleeve in EX condition Comments: Includes arguably their best single ever "Midnight Maniac", and their most accomplished power ballad to date "Our Love"
Change Of Address - 1986 European pressing printed in Germany, Cat No. 207 647 Condition: Vinyl in VG+ condition, some light surface marks - occasional background crackle during quieter passages, no major issues here however as there are few quiet passages on this driving hard rock LP! Sleeve is in EX condition, just a little light shelfwear. Complete with printed inner sleeve in EX condition Comments: This underrated effort received little critical acclaim on release, which the band attributed to intense record company pressure during the creation of this LP - however this still remains essential listening for the aficionado
Lovers of 80s hard rock will find much to like here!
Items will be dispatched in secure and correct packaging.
