Up for auction is the 1st album from THE SEX PISTOLS! This is an original from 1977.
I'm about to unload a really nice collection of NEW WAVE, PUNK, and early 80's ROCK so please check out my other auctions! All of them will be in multiple record lots starting at $1.99. The Clash, Echo and The Bunnymen, The Jam, Talking Heads, Psychedelic Furs, Violent Femmes, just to name a few.
All records are thoroughly cleaned with the SPIN CLEAN Record Washer system and are ready to throw on the turntable.
A note about my grading: I grade on a scale of 1-10. I rarely designate anything USED with a 9 (NrMINT) or a 5 (VG-)...which leaves 3 likely culprits - 8 (EX, awesome shape), 7 (VG+, average condition, plays fine), or 6 (VG, visibly used, nothing special, there will be some noticeable wear but should play fine). There may be a few items in this lot that are well played and in VG condition, which is on the low end of my scaleThat should give you a good indication of what you are bidding on. As far as the jackets, I will do tape repairs to split seams as needed. Same with inner sleeves.
Win as many as you like, I won't charge any more than $4 for shipping if you are in the US! 

DUDES AND DUDETTES - I CLEAN MY RECORDS. I TAKE GOOD PHOTOS. I ACTUALLY LIKE TO SIT HERE AND GRADE THEM WHEN MY KIDS ARE IN BED. I'M HAVING A GAS - YOU SHOULD TOO! My feedback should tell you everything you need to know!

Most of my albums (both jackets and discs) show their age and have been visibly used over the years. I have cleaned each and every one of these and given them a visual grade (and will also play grade - time permitting - if they show questionable surface marks).  I will try to be as specific as possible with the imperfections in the details below and will note when there is something significant. Most of these will be decent players at higher volume levels so if that's what you're after, go for it. I have a full time job and don't really do this for the money - most of the time the money I make goes right back into more records for my collection. I have 2 young kids and this is called "daddy" time in the basement. I absolutely do NOT want to attempt to rip off anyone...I'm here for the party, man!

$4.00 will ship as many records as you win to ANYWHERE in the USA with a domestic shipping address via USPS Media Mail! Yes, that means if you win 20 records, I still ship for $4.00!

This is available to INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS, but it will be EXPENSIVE TO SHIP! PLEASE USE THE SHIPPING CALCULATOR BEFORE BIDDING! ALL PACKAGES OVER 4 LBS. (MORE THAN 4 RECORDS) ARE REQUIRED TO BE SENT VIA USPS PRIORITY MAIL.

*I do not accept returns unless there are extenuating circumstances beyond my control. 
*Please ask questions BEFORE you bid. 
*All records are CLEANED and VISUALLY GRADED - I do NOT play grade unless noted. Please refer to my grading scale below.
*Please save me as a seller! I am going to unload a TON of records over the next few months.

Overall, anything with a grade of 7/VG+ will show some surface wear and/or needle marks but nothing deep. Anything with that grade will still play fine in my book. Obviously if it's an 8/EX or 9/NrMINT it will be in fantastic condition. Please note the subjective nature of grading; your VG+ might be my VG or my VG+ might be someone else's EX - you just have to pay attention, read my grading scale, and most importantly - ASK QUESTIONS.

HERE'S HOW I GRADE:

10 – MINT (Sealed, perfect condition.)

9 – Nr MINT (Like new with only a hint of wear.)

8 – EX (Very few blemishes. Maybe a couple light scratches on the vinyl or a few light creases to the jacket. Serious collectors will be satisfied with this grade.)

7 – VG+ (Average, used condition. Most of my vinyl and jackets are in this condition. Vinyl will show playwear/scratches, but nothing deep and it will play through fine. You may encounter a "pop" or two or some light background noise.The jacket may have creasing, edgewear, ringwear, or corner dings but nothing significant.)

6 – VG (Vinyl/jacket may will show a fair to moderate amount of wear .Vinyl may show a number of scratches and you will likely experience some background noise during playback, but NO skips. The jacket may show a fair amount of wear in the form of creasing, edgewear, ringwear, writing, seam splits, etc.)

5 – VG- (Rarely will I sell anything of this grade unless it is a collector item with some value. Moderate to heavy wear on the vinyl and/or jacket.)

I WILL DETAIL ANY IMPERFECTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY IN MY ITEM DESCRIPTION.
