Description
A STUNNING MOSTLY MINT MINUS / EXCELLENT PLUS PLAYGRADED COPY.
THIS IS THE HUGELY RARE QUICKLY WITHDRAWN A1 / B1 FIRST UK PRESSING OF THE ANTI NOWHERE LEAGUE 'WE ARE THE LEAGUE' RELEASED IN 1982 ON THE UK WXYZ LABEL AND PLAYGRADING IN MINT- TO EX+
THE IMPORTANT STUFF ON RARITY AND OBSCENITY!
Uncensored/Withdrawn 1st pressing
There are two versions of this release. This original first release was withdrawn soon after release due to obscenity law problems. It isn't known how many of the first release actually made it into the hands of consumers. The subsequent quick re-release has some words changed on side 1 track 2 "Animal". The line in the song "I'm a child molester" was quickly re-recorded and changed to "I'm your next door neighbor".
Versions can also be distinguished by matrix markings - This original has LMNOP-1-A1 and LMNOP 1 B1. The re-release has LMNOP 1 A2 and LMNOP 1 B2.
THE LP MAINLY PLAYGRADES AT NEAR MINT HOWEVER THERE ARE A FEW MINOR PRESSING MARKS ON SIDE 2 TRACK 1 WHICH DID NOT SOUND ON MY STYLUS BUT MAY ON YOURS (MINOR NON SOUNDING SCUFFS AND A PRESSING RINGMARK WHICH IS NON SOUNDING). I HAVE THEREFORE GRADED THE ENTIRE LP DOWN TO EX++ TO EX+ TO REFLECT THIS.
THE DETAILS:
SIDE 1: NEAR MINT
SIDE 2: EXCELLENT+ (FOR TWO PRESSING MARKS ON TRACK 1 - SEE ABOVE)
LABELS: EX+
SLEEVE: VG+ (MINOR BOTTOM CORNER DAMAGE - SEE PICS)
