Have confidence, I'm selling my own personal vinyl collection. 

Most of my LP's remain unplayed and some are 1st pressings. I used to collect vinyl as I worked
in a record shop and have hundreds of rare records.

I would urge you to look at my other listings as I have 100's of singles & LP's ranging from the 50's
to the 90's in most genre's.

Please read the vinyl and sleeve grading below and also look at my feedback.
THIS RECORD IS NOT PART OF THE COMBINED POSTAGE OFFER!

Here we have my own rare, original DJ Use Only, first pressing of The Electric Light
Orchestra - Livin' Thing - (Intro: 23).
It is a 12" Single, 33⅓ rpm with a solid centre. Published 1976 on the United Artists / Jet
Records Label, Cat No SP-137 and runs for 3.30 minutes. There is no other recording on the vinyl, side 2 is blank!
On the runout of side 1 is, SP-137 along with the Artisan Logo.
making this a first DJ Use Only US United Artists / Jet Records pressing,
more valuable and a more collectable recording than other issues! There are
no other markings on the runouts!
If you think this record is not a first pressing, then please either do not buy or buy in the knowledge that you think it is not! All the info is given above so you decide!
The vinyl has minimal (if any at all) surface blemishes. It retains great lustre and is
graded as Near Mint. The inner white paper sleeve is original and has some minor corner creasing as shown and is graded as Excellent. The original plain white printed sleeve has
only NEW ELO stamped on the front, has some minor age related yellow marks on the
front and rear and minor corner creasing - see pics. I have graded it as Very Good+.
Please read the grading system below and take note of the condition comments
above!
One of the better vinyl recordings on offer here!
