Erasure - You Surround Me - Near-Mint - BOTH 12" Vinyl Releases: 12MUTE99 & L12MUTE99
UPC/EAN:   12MUTE99 - 5016025200993  ----  L12MUTE99 - 5016025500994

First, the flaws..... Both outer jackets, the bottom left corners are somehow 'worn', 'dinged', 'frayed' - Please see the photos - photo # 11 to be exact - a close-up of both together.   I've no idea how they got that way, been in the same crate since 1989, not taken out until yesterday.   And yes, I'm serious about that.  These two 12"s have been played maybe two or three times each - tops.   If I remember right, it was about a week after buying these two the week they were released that I got the CD single versions and these two 12"s went into the 'stay-at-home' crates.
(I had Technics SLP-1200's first-of-its-kind DJ CD Players and was getting away from vinyl when possible.)
Other than that, these two 12"s are in top shape, even the original paper sleeves.   Again, please see the photos.
Oh yeah, there's none of my BPM/Info stickers on either one - I didn't bother, knew I was getting the CD singles.  Had no idea that the red cover remix was gonna be 'very limited', not just 'limited'.   Plus, I couldn't really play this song in the clubs - It's something like 170 BPM - or 85 BPM depending on...... depending on how you count and how hammered the people were your on dance floor.    ;-)

Here's the not-reduced-to-ultra-fine-print business part - that's on every listing I run up - so you can be sure nobody gets screwed over and I don't get taken to the cleaners by folks who would do so to get stuff for free, or worse, make a seller look bad for whatever reason (yes, it happens and that's sad). I'll also never and I mean never ever notaneffingchance - I'll never engage a 'bid-bot' in the blind to run up an auction price. That's about as lowlife as anyone can get in business and says a lot about them as a person.
I'm offering new wave and prog rock (and some other styles including a few titles of very early-in-the-game techno/rave) CD's and vinyl.
Most of what's offered will be set in at auction. Some items may start as low as $2.99. From time to time, items will be run up at a fixed price and without question, at time of listing will be the lowest price - period - and will keep checking to make sure that's the case. I also have a few items left over from a small-ish concert sound system that will be listed at some point too.
You might notice I'm going a tad over the top with most descriptions and amount of photos on many listings. That's solely so you know which end is up. Not gonna hide anything. Any missing artwork, pieces, parts, etc., and/or any real flaws on all items will be noted in plain language and sight in the description panel and of course, in the photos.
I was a nightclub DJ on LawnGuyLand NooYawk back when new wave was new and almost every new wave title I have - vinyl and CD - 95% of 'em - were "working" items. I'll never ever offer for sale any item I wouldn't buy myself, I'd rather just give 'em away or toss 'em in a dumpster. Please see the photos on each new wave/club-use item listed, you'll understand. If CD jewel cases or inner sleeves on vinyl were replaced with new, that will be noted as well. More......
On most of the new wave CD's and vinyl, there's stickers with my hand-written notes (BPM, Artist/Title, version, etc.). It was easier to see that in a dark club/DJ booth than pulling the rekkid itself. I make no apologies for doing the sticker thing - it helped. I know I wasn't the only one doing this kind of thing either.
No warranty expressed or implied on any item offered.     All sales final.   No returns.
Buyer is responsible for any sales taxes and/or VAT due.   Shipping not included in price, be it an auction or fixed price listing.
NewWaveAndProgRockDJ (meaning yours truly) absorbs the cost of cartons/packing material. It might not seem like much, but if you've never sold items before, the cost of padding material, packaging, new CD jewel cases and even carton sealing tape, that stuff adds up rather quickly.   Also, let's not kid ourselves:  Of course that cost is built into the opening bid price.   Momma dinna rayz no dummie.   ;-)
As far as actual packing goes, I'm kinda sorta maybe pretty good at making sure your item(s) leave here with their seat belts properly fastened, seat in the upright position and tray-table secured to the seat in front.  Tain't my first rodeo with ye olde shipping/receiving/logistics thing.
NewWaveAndProgRockDJ (again, meaning yours truly) is not responsible for any damage incurred by your items during shipping and transit to you via any carrier.
Re-sellers welcome. If you think my opening bid/fixed pricing makes me seem off my meds - meaning I'm way under what something should go for - please by all means grab it and go for it.   It's all good.
