PLEASE REVIEW ALL PHOTOS AND READ THE ENTIRE ITEM DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY!!

IF YOU ARE A STICKLER, THIS COPY IS NOT FOR YOU. There are visual surface marks that will cause surface noise, some creases and staining on the cover. I am still grading the cover in Good condition as it is still structurally sound. This DOES NOT include the inner lyric sleeves. 

PLAY TESTED! I RECENTLY PLAYED THIS LP AND IT STILL SOUNDS GREAT AND PLAYS ALL THE THROUGH WITHOUT SKIPS.

Up for sale is one(1) The Clash - London Calling 2LP from 1979. This is an ORIGINAL PRESSING LP on Epic Records (# E 36329). Includes the Side 4 hidden track "Train In Vain". 

Has the hidden message "TEAR DOWN THE WALLS!" etched in the deadwax. One word per side as follows: 

Side 1 deadwax: TEAR...

Side 2 deadwax: DOWN...

Side 3 deadwax: THE...

Side 4 deadwax: WALLS!

AS A BONUS I HAVE INCLUDED A Black & White PHOTOCOPY OF THE ORIGINAL HYPE STICKER and THE ORIGINAL "WARNING" STICKER. I like to add a PHOTOCOPY of the hype sticker, if I have it, as an added bonus as they are usually discarded and are hard to find. 

The vinyl is in good condition, with visual surface marks that will cause surface noise typical with a Good grading. Even with a good grading there is going to be a certain amount of surface noise, more noticeable during the quiet parts.

Nice fairly clean labels with spindle marks. 

The cover is in good condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to corner dings, crumples & creases, dents, and ring wear all of which are typical. There is some fraying along the opening that is typical with non-gatefold double LPs. There are no split seams. There is some peeling / fading at the front top and rear top and there are 2 pinholes, 1 at the 12 O'Clock mark and 1 at the 6 O'Clock mark that go through to the rear cover. 

This cover typically doesn't age well as this is a double LP set in a non-gatefold cover. 

I obtained this LP in the 1980s. It was played many times back in the day. Not played in many years. It has been in storage ever since.

I am thinning out my vinyl collection. This is the actual item you will receive. See the photos and judge for yourself.
