New Order "Ceremony" 4:34 / "In A Lonely Place" 6:12
Factory FAC 33 12" single, 45 rpm 1981 U.K. first pressing (green and gold cover)
VG+ (record) - minor crackle mostly at the beginning of each side
VG+ (sleeve) - some minor edgewear; wrinkling near spine; small sticker on front cover
Original poly lined inner sleeve
This is the first release from New Order, with both songs written by Joy Division. This is the first version of the "Ceremony" 12" before Gillian Gilbert joined the band.
The matrix in the inner groove is TOWNHOUSE FAC33 A1 EG WATCHING LOVE GROW - FOREVER and TOWNHOUSE FAC33 B1 EG HOW I WISH WE WERE HERE WITH YOU NOW
The record is normal black vinyl. The photos of the labels make the vinyl look reddish brown, but that's just because the labels are so dark they're hard to photograph.
Timings do not appear on the labels and are taken from Discogs.
Apologies for any reflections in the photos.
I will combine shipping if you buy multiple LPs or 12" singles at the same time, but please wait for me to send you an invoice before you pay.
My auctions are listed as "no international shipping" because of the
excessive cost and delays these days. However, if you really want
something and are willing to put up with both the cost and likely delay,
please feel free to bid.
Goldmine Record Grading Standards:
Mint: Absolutely perfect in every way.
Near Mint (NM or M-): Nearly perfect, no visible defects,
no surface noise. NM sleeves have no creases, ring wear, or seam splits.
Very Good Plus (VG+) or Excellent (E): May show slight
signs of wear, slight warps, or minor signs of handling, that do not affect the
listening experience. VG+ sleeves have only minor wear, such as a short split (one inch or less) at the bottom, or a cutout marking.
Very Good (VG): Lacks most of the original gloss found on
factory-fresh records. Groove wear and light scratches are visible. The record
has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft , but
the noise will not overpower the music. Label may include minor writing, tape
or a sticker. A VG sleeve has many signs of handling, such as obvious but not overwhelming ring wear, creases, seam splitting, or handwriting or stamps.
Good (G), Good Plus (G+) or Very Good Minus (VG-): Significant
surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring
wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage. G/VG- sleeves have distracting ring wear, seam splits, or heavy writing.
Poor (P) and Fair (F): Records are cracked, impossibly
warped, or skip and/or repeat when an attempt is made to play them. Sleeves are heavily damaged.
