Description
Welcome to this Runout Grooves listing. We might be new sellers to Ebay, but we have over 20 years experience of selling music (both online and in record shops) so please don't be concerned with the low feedback rating. We are confident that our feedback score will rise very fast!
Runout Grooves is run by collectors for collectors, so we know exactly what you want to see in a listing. We aim to give you as much information as you could possibly hope for to enable you to decide if the items that we have for sale are exactly the ones that you are looking for. We will have lots of high-resolution photos (showing you the best bits as well as any defects) plus detailed descriptions of condition, matrix numbers, pressing information - and, most importantly of all, a professional and conservative grading of sleeve and disc. You can bid with confidence!
This week we will be listing a fantastic selection of punk, indie and classic rock records. If you like the look of this record then check out our other items for sale and add us to your favourite sellers.
This is a very rare 7" single of Three EP, the debut single by U2. This is the very first pressing, not one of the common reissues. This has all the distinguishing marks of the very limited first pressing:
- CBS 'sunburst' label
- UKTM No B81 8092 printed around the rim of the label
- 'GRAFOTONE' printed on rear sleeve - this is missing from all later issues
- 'Thumbcut on rear sleeve opening
- Band name is spelt 'U-2' on the labels
Released by: CBS Catalogue Number: 7951 Year of release: 1979
Matrix numbers: Side 1 - 7951-7CBS U23 A2 Side 2 - CBS U23 B-1 BANG1
Condition: Vinyl - EX (spotless!) Sleeve - VG+ (just some minor ringwear, close to EX)
We use the Record Collector grading system which grades records from Mint to Poor. We always aim to grade conservatively and fairly. However, we recognise that grading can be subjective and one man's EX can be another man's Good, so please contact us if you would like to clarify any issues with condition. Please note that (unlike other sellers) we will only grade records as Mint or Near Mint if we can be certain that they have never been played. If they have been used, then our highest grading will be EX.
We will discount postage for bulk purchases - see below. All records are sent out in custom-made record sized cardboard envelopes along with a cardboard stiffener.
