PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.


WILDLY RARE original Record Industry UK gatefold first pressing from November 14, 2005 on Rough Trade produced by The Clash's Mick Jones with a textured cover with gloss varnish detail on the rear (the sole reissue from 2015 has an untextured cover), matte, textured, rigid, full color printed inner sleeves, a beautiful Babshambles logo etched into side D and the original MADE IN ENGLAND import tag on the rear cover!!!  LPs are a gorgeous VG++/NM-.  Cover is a beautiful VG++/NM- as well.  I bought this new at Music Direct here in Chicago and may have played it once or twice.  Even comes with a copy of the original Music Direct RECEIPT dated Febuary 2, 2007 from when I purchased this rarity at their former location on Laflin Street almost 18 years ago(!) (along with an Enon LP, a Diverse 12", a Franz Ferdinand LP, a Ween LP, an Ike Turner And The Kings Of Rhythm LP, a Who 12" and a mystery LP I can't even remember!).  An absolute high grade copy of this rarity with airtight provenance that can be traced to the exact day and point of purchase.  This is what collecting is about.  You will not be disappointed.
