RUBARB RUBARB Victory Of Love b/w Walking In May

Label: Mix Records  (Pressed by Orlake Records, Dagenham.)

Catalogue Number: MIX 1     UK  1985

7" Black vinyl record.

Condition: Vinyl: NM (Near mint).  Picture sleeve: VG.  Solid, slight discolouration, with signatures and inscription. See pictures.

Both labels are in excellent condition. Please enlarge the pictures.

Very rare and much sought-after gloomy 1980s angst. Sounds like a minimalist version of Tears for Fears, but with a very competent electric guitarist and drummer instead of synth.

There are no stickers or writing on either the labels or sleeve, unless otherwise stated.

Please see a description of record grades  below.

If you are buying more than one record, I will happily combine postage.

Paypal only. Please contact me BEFORE you bid, if you wish to pay by any other method.
