Experience the classic indie spare guitar 80s folk and rock sounds of Billy Bragg's "Life's A Riot With Spy Vs Spy" with this 1983 first pressing 12" vinyl LP on Go! Discs/Utility label (Catalogue Number UTIL 1). NOTE: It plays at 45 RPM and not 33. I've had this since day one when I bought it at HMV (it still has the price sticker on and most of the sellophane wrapper which protects it well). It's in Near Mint condition and the vinyl is Excellent with only the merest suggestion of crackle in the quieter passages. There are 7 tracks on the album including the classics "The Milkman of Human Kindness" and "New England" (a hit for Kirsty MacColl) as well as other tracks in the same vein such as "To Have and To Have Not". The cardboard sleeve and original cover design (by Barney Bubbles) are in excellent condition and the inner sleeve featuring the classic 80s 'home taping' warning is starting to become a little brown but still in Very Good condition with no rips or tears, etc. This LP is a must-have for any indie rock enthusiast and is sure to bring back memories of the 1980s era. Any questions please let me know via Ebay messaging.
Dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd class tracked parcel in appropriate packaging for vinyl LP.
