Hello there.  I'm selling my much loved vinyl collection that I've accumulated over the last 60 years because we have moved house and simply don't have the room anymore.  This vinyl is in EXCELLENT PLUS condition.  This RARE EARLY PRESSING was bought brand new and has been extremely well looked after.  The sleeve is in EXCELLENT condition.  I would like it to go to a good home.

For multiple buys, this is the general rule of thumb for UK bidders:
International buyers - please message me for more info.

1 - 2 vinyl                 £3.49
3 - 4 vinyl                 £4.49
5 - 6 vinyl                 £4.99
7 - 8 vinyl                 £5.99
9 - 50 vinyl               £9.99

These prices can obviously vary due to the weight of each album, but it's a good guideline.

All actions will run their course, just let me know when you're all done bidding/winning and I'll send you an invoice with reduced P&P.

Any questions, please ask away. . .

A Factory Record.

First edition. Later UK editions can have a die-cut cover with thin matte black inner sleeve, or a die-cut cover with thick glossy black inner sleeve, or a plain black with just the colour coding and different inner sleeves.

The coloured strip is not random - it spells out the Catalog#, band name and both song titles.
The back cover of "Power, Corruption and Lies" has the same colour coding, done with the alphabet (a decoder ring).

First pressing: 60,000 copies (30,000 pre-sales).
Initial A1/B1 pressings are characterised by a heavy and opaque vinyl. Runout space is 0.35 inches. The first edition thick silver inner sleeve has straight top corners.

"Outvoted" in the runout refers to an error made by the Strawberry engineer, who brought up the fader too late and missed the first drumbeat. New Order took a vote as to whether the mistake should stay, and the yes vote prevailed. Barcode and Other Identifiers Matrix / Runout (Side A): FAC-73-A-1 MT.1 STRAWBERRY OUT VOTED!
