This is UP 36211 7-inch single from 1977 of 'Grip' and 'London Lady' by The Stranglers and it is personally signed on the front cover of the picture sleeve by all four original band members: Hugh Cornwall, Jean-Jacques Burnell, Dave Greenfield and Jet Black.
It was signed in around 1980 before the band played a gig at Rock City, Nottingham I believe. At the time my brother was working for Radio Trent in Nottingham and interviewed the band before the gig.
The vinyl itself is in VGC with no marks or scratches. The stamp is A-2U and B-1U. The sleeve is slightly worn (as to be expected with an item from 1977) but is in good/very good condition.
Please note that I am not a dealer or a record collector. The items I am selling are all from the extensive collection of my late brother.

He was a great music and radio enthusiast, working for both BBC and commercial radio stations in the East Midlands from 1980 until 2013 presenting various music shows, mostly folk and rock. 

During this period he interviewed many bands and artists in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester and usually had them sign copies of the albums they were promoting at the time. He was also sent many promotional, DJ-only and white-label pressings direct from the record companies.

This is how he ended up with this item signed by The Stranglers.

Sadly my brother passed away in November 2013, so I am slowly disposing of his extensive record collection. He had no family of his own, so according to his wishes we have opened a trust account to help his nephew and two nieces through university, and the proceeds from these sales will be paid into that account.

I will be listing quite a few similar items over the coming months, as there are original signed albums by artists ranging from The Ramones to Bryan Ferry and Sandy Denny, plus some rarities and DJ-only promotional copies.

All vinyl will be sent in special secure mailers with stiffeners.

Thank you.
