Description
Incredibly hard to find Traitors Gate three track 12" EP: Side 1) Devil Takes The High Road. Side 2) Love After Midnight; Shoot To Kill. 1985 pressing on the BULLET RECORDS label. Cat No: BOLT 12. Sleeve has some light creases to corners. The rear of the sleeve shows where the record has been. I would not call it ring wear as such as the sleeve is thin and one would expect this. Sleeve strictly graded EX+. Vinyl has clean labels and no spindle wear. There are some light "paper marks" that are only visible if held at an angle to a bright light and do not affect playing. Vinyl graded Near Mint. Highly collectable record.
The record comes with the plain white paper inner that has been fully signed by the band ( See photo). I cannot personally verify the signatures but have every reason to believe that the signatures are genuine. The group were a local band. I went to the same school as the bass player; Steve Colley, and Andy Turner who left the group shortly before the recording. I was friendly with Steve and it was with him and others that I went to my first concert at the Birmingham Odeon in 1979, The Scorpions backed up by an outfit called Def Leppard. I was also with Steve in 1980 seeing Motorhead, Saxon and Girlschool at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff (about two weeks before the roof caved in and the venue closed). I haven `t seen him for years but the last I heard he was semi-retired and enjoying life in Spain. The buyer will not be disappointed. PLEASE NOTE: Prompt payment would be appreciated as I will not be at home between 10th July and 24th July. The record will be shipped befor 10th July if prompt payment is received; after the 24th July if not.
