Barely played and truly near mint condition vinyls (all 3 of them) copy of this 1980 1st press Clash classic :  gleaming vinyls each displaying a beautiful jet black lacquered sheen and even with close scrutiny under a bright light impossible to detect any blemishes at all; pristine labels...completely unmarked with not even the usual one or two faint spindle trails; excellent condition unlaminated outer sleeve with original "THE CLASH SANDINISTA" sticker - rigid edges, no edge scuffing, no creasing, near perfectly defined right angled corners still with absolutely minimal rubbing, no edge fraying and all colours/art work/photos/text remaining completely intact...only blemishes are some slight discolouration towards the bottom right corner on the front side and just the hint of some extremely light ring wear towards the top and bottom edges on the reverse side; near perfect condition "THE ARMAGIDEON TIMES no3" 6 page insert (just some very mild "browning" towards the edges) comprising cartoons, song lyrics, and credits;  superb sound quality from start to finish with no clicks or background interference or crackle, and brilliant tone and clarity throughout even at higher volumes/frequencies. What a great listen and what a fabulous triple album  : punk, post punk, rock, alternative, military reggae, beat, new wave and more...it's all here!

Original UK pressings of this landmark Clash triple LP epic are now becoming hard to find, especially in condition as truly impressive as this.

POSTAGE :  

Note that I always insert the vinyl(s) into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve  to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.

For the UK £5 using Royal Mail 1st class signed for

for continental Europe £14 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked and signed for

and for the rest of the world £20 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked and signed for

Note that for any shipments to Italy I now use either Parcelforce, UPS, or DPD for a fee of £17 (that includes tracking and signed for)

I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 52 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's costume hire shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I'll sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard

 

Descriptions of any records I sell comply with the Rare Record Price Guide grading guidelines :


Mint  The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.


Excellent  The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.


Very Good  The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.


Good  The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.


Fair  The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.


Poor  The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing


Bad  The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
