The Soft Boys – Wading Through A Ventilator

Raw 5

This is an extremely rare copy which I asked the band to autograph at the time. It is signed by Robyn Hitchcock, Morris Windsor and Alan Davies. Andy Metclafe is missing.

This was certainly the first copy to be signed – possibly the only signed copy in existence with the original members?

As the owner of Raw Records I had the opportunity to ask the band to sign it.

It is not dedicated to anyone – simply very clear signatures in blue biro. No smudges or anything.

It doesn’t have a picture sleeve but the white paper sleeve has the Raw Records rubber stamp which is quite unique.

This is in totally mint unplayed condition.

I will supply a signed letter of authentification with the record.

This is an ultra rare - Unplayed Mint Condition Copy
It has been kept in a plastic sleeve in a box all these years
The record is 100% unplayed

My own personal copy

My name is Lee Wood and I am the founder of Raw Records.
I am selling off a collection of records from my own label.
These are totally unplayed copies in Mint condition.
100% original copies. Each item has been in my home since 1977.
I am now having a clear-out of some items.

So now is the time for someone else to enjoy owning this unique item.

Many people who have purchased the Raw Records items I sold recently requested a signed letter of authentification with the record. I will be happy to include one with your record. Also, I have been sent a number of questions by people from around the world. If you have any questions that my memory can recall then I’m happy to answer as honestly as I can.

You can also find some amazing stuff about Raw Records and most of the great bands of the Punk/New Wave era on the incredible website www.Punk77.co.uk

And if anyone is in contact with Dave Ferguson the well-known punk seen on many London postcards who frequented the Kings Road in the 1980’s and is an avid collectors of Punk/New Wave would you ask him to send me a copy of the unreleased songs by Leonard Vice called I’ve Got Spots/Elevenpenny Plums. It is an incredible single by a very talented man. I let Dave borrow my only cassette copy in the 1980’s and have never seen it since. I would gladly pay £50 for a good clear copy. This was due to be issued on Raw but never was.

Someone recently asked me why am I selling all these items? No, I’m not hard up for the money. I have to face the fact I’m getting older and have been a collector of records and “things” most of my life. Therefore my offices are stuffed with things I never use. So it is far better to offer them to people who will appreciate them.

Kept in a smoke free and dust free environment for over 33 years old!
