The Damned - There Ain't No Sanity Clause. 12" Single Product Description

The Damned - There Ain't No Sanity Clause. 12" Single

Yes - it's a punk Christmas song!

Originally released in 1983, this is the 1985 re-release 12" - possibly an attempt to challenge Slade for most Christmas No.1's...

The record has been well played and shows several light marks, but nothing is heard over the music.

The sleeve also shows some age related wear and tear - see photos.

Shipping: We will always combine P&P on request and ship world wide, please read the tabs below for details.

Please feel free to ask any questions, I am happy to help.

The Damned - There Ain't No Sanity Clause. 12" Single Shipping International shipping  Payment Returns Grading Delivery Information

Delivery will be via Hermes, tracked, for domestic buyers.

International delivery will be via Ebay Global Shipping Program for single items - for combined postage Internationally please see below.

We are always happy to combine postage, but please request before paying as we are not able to refund after payment has cleared. This is more important for International buyers as to combine postage we must opt out of the Global Shipping Program which is not possible after payment is made. If in doubt please message before paying and we'll be happy to advise you of the best course of action.

We try to drop packages off with the couriers within 2 working days. If you require a faster service, please get in contact, but there will be a surcharge.

Local collection is always an option, we're based in South Oxfordshire.

    International Shipping Options               Most of our listings are listed by default under the Ebay Global Shipping Program as it give maximum international visibility to the listings. In many cases this is fine, and a very good system. For a single large or reasonably heavy (750g plus) the price you are charged is usually fair. If you are buying a single item of this sort of weight then we'd advise you just pay as usual and don't need to read on.    
          The problems with the Global Shipping Program are that it does not allow for combined shipping and does not account for items that can be sent as letters. We are happy to account for both situations but need you to request that we opt out of the Global Shipping Program, so if you are buying several items, or the item could be sent as a letter (Max dimensions: 300mm x 210mm x 25mm. Max weight: 750g), please follow the steps below...    
          First, and most importantly DO NOT PAY IMMEDIATELY. we  cannot opt out of the Global Shipping Program after you have paid for the auction, nor will we refund in this situation.    
          Once you have won, or pressed Buy It Now, on all the items you would like packaged together, go to your Shopping Basket, click on one of the items, and select either Request Total or Request Invoice from the Other Actions drop down. Once you have done this we will be able to opt out of the Global Shipping Program.    
          We will now send you an invoice with a fair price for shipping to wherever you are in the world and you just pay the one final invoice and we'll dispatch within 2 working days by Royal Mail International Standard Shipping. We're very happy to do this and it could save you a lot of money. Example: a customer in Germany recently purchased 3 comic books from us, Ebay Global Shipping Program would have cost over £60.00 for postage, by opting out and combining packaging we charged the customer £8.00.    
          If you'd like a more detailed instuctions or to enquire if it's worth your while, please feel free to message, we'll be happy to advise and offer an estimate of the costs involved.

  Grading

We use the following grading system for records:

Mint - Prefect condition. Will only ever be used if the item is still sealed or personally owned from new and unused.

NM (Near Mint) - A nearly perfect record. A NM or M- record has more than likely never been played, and the vinyl will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record should show no obvious signs of wear. A 45 RPM or EP sleeve should have no more than the most minor defects, such as any sign of slight handling. An LP cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc.  

EX (Excellent) - Record will be used, but carefully looked after. Light hairline marks only on the vinyl which may be heard between tracks but not audible over the music. Sleeve may show very minor shelf or ringwear only. Any inserts or custom inners present. This record will play very nicely.

VG+ (Very Good Plus) - A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Excellent.  

VG (Very Good) - Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as with light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time.

G (Good) - A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present. While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.  

F (Fair) - Record is in one piece. It will probably play through but you wouldn't want to near an expensive set up. Anything listed as Fair will not have been play tested.

P (Poor) - The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and writing. The LP cover barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon.  

The grading of items is a very subjective field and the grading we give is our impression only. We will try to highlight specific problems either in the pictures used or the item description, so please study the images provided and feel free to ask for more detail. We try to be very honest in our grading and listen to all records before listing (except those listed as F or P), on a properly balanced deck with a 2g tracking force - if you use a lighter arm then be aware there is a small possibility that playback may produce a different result.
