Ultra Hard To Find In This Original 1979 UK Vintage Vinyl Edition !!!


Vinyl Is In (mostly) Near Mint To Mint Condition:

(Most of the vinyl is in perfect condition. However, there are some  area's with very minor rubbing

   from rubbing against the cheap paper inserts and living in a can for all of these years )

Cover (Metal Can) is in Very Good Plus Plus Condition.

(As you can see from the photo's, the outside of the can shows quite a bit of  oxidation, but No Rust.

  The inside of the can is in Excellent Condition )

A Must Have Item for the   Public Image   Fan or Collector!


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Please note: All of the items that I sell are from my own personal collection.
This is a collection that I have maintained and added to for well over 30 years.
I, am not a store, or a business. I am a private collector, selling off some of my personal collection.

Please Note: I had a major surgery over a year ago, but I am having some difficult complications and disability
as a result, this sometimes gets in the way of my e-baying. So, if my turn around time takes a little longer then most sellers,
(I have a 20 day shipping window) I really do apologize in advance.

Also, I always ship items in proper shipping packaging, with padding or packing peanuts or cardboard bracing.            
Whatever is required to get it safely through the worldwide mail systems.

About shipping - The US Post Office raised the rates on postage as of January 1st 2013.
Also, please understand this in advance, I use the e-bay calculator to figure out postage.
Sometimes, it is wrong, and presents a cost that is higher then the actual cost at the post office.
If and when this is the case, I always refund the difference via Paypal.

Please Note: Overseas Packages that go through the Customs system, can take up to 4 to 6 weeks to Process and Deliver, this IS normal.  

                      For Russia and the Middle East, this can take even longer and is completely out of my control, so please be patient.


Also, there is a small (cost) fee for the packaging materials that I get from Box City, in order to safely ship the items.


Many Thanks.
