Trivial guff...merely to explain where some of the more unusual things I'm listing might've come from:

From 1974-1978 I managed an indie/alternative record store here in Sydney (known firstly as Ripple then Revolver Records)...along with the expected, we sold the most obscure imported stuff - from all the still-available 60's and 70's prog 'n' psych stuff, 60's garage/surf/soul, 70's power-pop, plus we dived head-on into the early punk scene importing all the classic 7"s from the US and UK scenes...then we also specialized in Krautrock imports from Germany (virtually all of which were still available at that time), and the latest reggae releases straight from Jamaica (we had thee coolest suppliers!)...in 1978/79, I lived in the UK & USA - my job description in the U.S. was simply: to buy second-hand vinyl goodies in any of the above categories, with unlimited funds at my disposal (I doubt there's ever been a better job!...anywhere...ever) - to send back to Australia...then had my own record store in Sydney (with my great mate and business partner, Dare)...from 1979-1998...that was Phantom Records (we had a record label then as well - started purely coz, apart from the fact both our girlfriends were lead singers in bands that no major label was interested in, so were lots of our friends) - and having roadied for, then managed, Radio Birdman in 1975/'76, I got to be part of that camp -  so our connections were good! - the label worked well for a while.

Anyway, what I'm really getting at, is that I managed to amass a huge collection (of mostly first pressings and originals) over all those years and scenarios, and looked after it pretty well (while all the while gently thrashing the hell outta them of course). But many I had 2 copies of and will be close to mint. So...I'm selling some.

(They're not all unusual or hideously rare...quite obviously...but there's some cool stuff amongst it all.)

Here's one of the items anyway:

TOMMY HOEHN  "BLOW YOURSELF UP" b/w "LOVE YOU (ALL DAY LONG)"

...original 1977 USA 7"...on the great power-pop label, Power Play Records (home of The Scruffs), of Memphis, TN...(catalogue number: PP-1954)...in paper pic sleeve...(this one I bought second-hand, on my first UK visit in Sept. '77 from that shop in London owned by the Chiswick label guy...the cover was already in its current state at the time...bought it coz of the label, having already a Scruffs LP and a couple of their singles in my collection...and it didn't disappoint!)...

 

His first single. 'B' side features Big Star's Chris Bell on guitar.

 

Have a listen to the sublime power-pop 'A' side here:

...and the equaly superb 'B' side here:

CONDITION:

COVER: ( VG+ )...has some obvious stains at the top and at right...and quite a lot of crinkling... VINYL: ( EX )...very shiny still, with that 'cloudy' effect some vinyl attains, and just a few very light 'hair-line' marks only...but all that has no effect on the sound and it plays beautifully!... LABELS: (Side One: MINT / Side Two: MINT )... If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks). Thanks for considering this item...Cheers, Jules.
