Description
Welcome to Heart of Wax - Vinyl online record shop. I shall endeavour to post up as many exciting records up here that I find. Usually all from private collections which I've sourced. I'm happy to post out records to all you lovely people of the United Kingdom. Generally each record is secondhand and has been played. All have been cleaned and listened to by myself. And if there are any faults or defects, I will provide them in an honest description below.

THE CURE - THREE IMAGINARY BOYS
Original UK press from 1979. An early pressing with gold stamp on front sleeve denoting 'special edition.'
For some people this is regarded as the last good Cure record. Simplistic, angular, abstract with short bursts of energy scattered throughout?. No long dirges, meandering gloominess. An oddity in fact compared to their other lamentable LPs. This is just pure catchy pop music representative of the times it was created in. With the obscure cover art and lack of a tracklisting there's a youthful charm to it, even though Robert Smith has mixed feelings about. I like to think Three Imaginary Boys let the audience in, showed them what the band could do and could change it all up on at the drop of a hat (see Pornography, Head On The Door). It is a little muddy in production but that's it's charm. And a record that juxtaposes superbly with their catalogue and what their contemporaries were making. Genius and amateur in equal measure.
CONDITION

POSTAGE
Please choose additional postage fee:
Royal Mail First Class: £4.00
Royal Mail Second Class: £3.00
OR
Local collection via my house or my record stall (when available) - FREE
I package each record using the 'cardboard and bubble wrap sandwich method.' Sleeve and LP are kept separate within the postage sleeve. It will arrive to your house looking very tasty but please don't attempt to eat it for your dinner. I only recommend popping it on your record player.
INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE
I have offered European and international postage to people on other records which I sell. However one particular continental customer has sent through some horrible feedback and been rather abusive - so I'd prefer to now only ship to somewhere in the UK from here on in. Shame really that we all can't get along. But that's the modern world for you.
It doesn't mean I won't ship abroad but you'll have to send me a message so I can figure out a postage price and whether or not I'm happy to ship this, or any item out to you. Everyone deserves a second chance.
All the best.
