SID SINGS is a posthumous solo album by punk rock icon Sid Vicious, recorded (mostly) live and released after he died. This record's had just one owner. Bought it new back in those days, been in my possession and well-cared for ever since. Album cover still has the original shrink wrap (opened, of course, with a couple small spots of missing shrink near the mouth of the sleeve). The shrink's preserved the jacket very nicely, just some very subtle signs of handling on the edges of the mouth. Shrink wrap has the purple hype sticker that lists song titles and mentions a "Free Poster Inside." However, there's no poster with this copy. I hung that on my bedroom wall back in the day and it never reunited with this record. Original inner sleeve is included and it's in Excellent condition. Record's been play graded for this listing. There's some faint surface noise on needle drop that immediately disappears when the music starts. Otherwise, plays clean and sounds great. I had no issues -- no pops, clicks, ticks, skips, etc. -- on my system. Visually, the vinyl's nice and clean (cleaned on an RCM). There are some needle drop marks in the lead-in wax on Side A, and a few very light and short hairlines scattered across the two sides. Some of those are in the Side B dead wax. See the pics I've posted for a close look at everything. Comes to you with a complimentary Mo-Fi archival poly inner sleeve and a poly outer sleeve for extra protection. Ships professionally packed with extra care in a record mailer with a couple cardboard board inserts and bubble wrap for damage-free delivery. Virgin – V 2144. Check out all of Elvis Cool J's eBay listings for more killer vinyl from back in the day!

SELLER INFO:
GREG VALENTINE AS 'ELVIS COOL J.' Former radio DJ, longtime record/music collector, and active seller here and elsewhere. Bringing a handful of my listings to eBay. These are select items from my personal collection. Records were unplayed, and in a few cases unopened, for 30 years. Vinyl is conservatively graded using Discogs grading rules, but skewing more toward Goldmine standards.

SHIPPING: Your package is mailed same day or within 24 hours of purchase (weekends excepted). As a frequent buyer, I ship the way I like packages to arrive. Your items will be packed carefully and securely with protective cardboard fillers (and additional bubble wrap, when appropriate). In some cases, I may reuse sturdy packaging to help save trees. All albums ship outside the jacket in new archival polys with jacket and poly-sleeved vinyl inside a protective poly outer. All 45s are shipped similarly. Tracking info is always provided to you once items are shipped.

LISTING ACCURACY: Like you, I buy a lot of stuff on eBay and other sites. So, it’s crucial to me that an item is correctly listed. All my items have been carefully and exactingly listed. That means you're seeing all the correct info about the pressing, such as year, first press or reissue, and most times, what pressing plant. I also make a point to note when it’s unclear what pressing a sealed item is. That said, I welcome any question you have about any item. I’ve been known to ask a few myself when I’m buying.

RETURNS: Buyer is responsible for cost of shipping in the unlikely event an item needs to be returned (unless there's been a crucial error in the listing or description). If there’s any issue with your order, it can almost certainly be resolved satisfactorily. Simply let me know right away.
