Strafe - Set It Off - 1984 VG Jus Born JB 001 - The Real-Deal First Pressing
Flaws  ---  This was a working record for a few years until I got the 'yellow label' re-issue..... and yes, that will be listed at some point in the future.   Is it perfect ?   No.   Is it near-mint ?   No.   Is it 'excellent' ?   No.    is it 'VG+' ?   I'm not gonna call it that.  I'll leave it at 'VG'.   The outer jacket and inner poly sleeve are the originals.  The record was kept in a poly bag since day one and yes, you'll get the bag with it.
Please see the photos.   Zoom in on the vinyl, zoom in on the labels.  This really is the original first pressing.   To verify, please go to the Discogs website, search "Strafe" and then the drop down for the record.   As of my typing in this listing, the original first pressing link is still the one on the top ..... Hover over it and make sure you see it's Discogs release number 19828.   Click on that.  Compare what's there to what's here.
Is this worth $100 ?   To you it might be and maybe more.   As for me, I don't have the b*lls to run this up for auction starting at anything other than below legit mid-line.

Music  ---   "Y'all want this party started, right ?"     ;-)
Lesson one for club DJ's on how to completely fill a dance floor and maybe give yourself a mini-break:   Mix into this record.   You've given yourself a gift:  Time..... Go to the loo.   Hit the bar for something, or just sit back.   You can also 'go for it' and drop in all sorts of stuff during the track.   It's all good - 9min, 51 seconds worth.

Now for the not-reduced-to-ultra-fine-print business part - this is 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.
All items will be set in as auction.   Some items may start as low as $2.99, and without question, at time of initial and re-listing will be the lowest price - period - and will keep checking to make sure that's the case.  If I'm undercut by other sellers, I'll leave mine off the board until theirs sells.  Go for it, that's what it's all about.  No harm no, foul on my end.  See the shipping part below for what's up there.
I don't accept offers.  Why won't I accept offers ?   Just being honest:  Staying on top of my 'store' here is difficult enough.   Sellers get screwed sometimes without realizing it and when sellers decline offers, customers can get corked off, start cussin' n' stuff......  It becomes overwhelming and more than once at the start, I considered chucking it all.   So no offers entertained, and please don't ask.    I probably won't reply anyway (and if that-all makes me seem the a-hole, then so be it).
You might notice I'm going a tad over the top with most descriptions and sometimes the 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, carton sealing tape and mailing labels, etc., that stuff adds up rather quickly.   Also, let's not kid ourselves:  Of course that cost is built into the opening bid price.   From very early in 2021 to now, the costs of packaging materials has pretty much doubled.  So, additional pricing is being built in as part of the shipping cost.   Put it this way:  A listing selling for $2.99, the direct cost of packaging a CD the proper way is close to half of that.  Vinyl:  At least half.  Then add the cost of going to the post office, 'my time' doing everything, etc.  Not making any excuses, this is reality and I have this thing about at least breaking even.  Know what I mean ?
And 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 delays, non-receipt, permanently lost in the bilge of a slow boat to nowhere, nor damage incurred by your items during shipping and transit to you via any carrier.  And adding to that:
Here's an important note for international customers:  Please be advised that customs departments here and on your end will quite probably open your package for inspection.  Once your package is documented as received by our postal service here for transfer to the eBay international system, NWAPRDJ does not and will not assume any responsibility of any kind, financial or otherwise, for any and all delays, issues and/or damages caused by any national or private postal service, customs division or other agency, including contract carriers, that had possession of your package even for a single second.
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.
