UB40 - SIGNING OFF - 1980 VINYL ALBUM + 12" SINGLE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION
GRADUATE RECORDS, CAT NO: GRADLP 2, MATRIX NUNBERS A/B
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT+ COPY OF THE 1980 DEBUT ALBUM BY UB40 WHICH PUT THE BAND AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE REGGAE/SKA REVIVAL MOVEMENT WHICH CATAPULTED BANDS SUCH AS THE SPECIALS AND THE SELECTER TO FAME. IT INCLUDES THEIR EARLY HITS "KING" AND "FOOD FOR THOUGHT". AS A FIRST PRESSING IT ALSO INCLUDES THE 12" SINGLE "MADAME MEDUSA", UB40'S THINLY-DISGUISED ATTACK ON MARGARET THATCHER WHICH WENT DOWN A STORM IN THE RECESSION-HIT WEST MIDLANDS WHERE THEY WERE BASED.
THE ALBUM AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTER AND KEPT IN CLEAN AND DRY STORAGE FOR MANY YEARS - THE INNER AND OUTER SLEEVES ARE AS GOOD AS THE VINYL.
VINYL: EXCELLENT+. NO SIGNIFICANT MARKS OR SCUFFS. BOTH THE ALBUM AND THE 12" SINGLE PLAY WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS OR POPS, AND NO BACKGROUND NOISE.
LABELS: EXCELLENT. VIRTUALLY NO SPINDLE TRACES INDICATING THIS RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED VERY MUCH AT ALL. NO WRITING OR MARKS.
OUTER COVER: EXCELLENT. SOLID CARD COVER WITH RIGID FULLY READABLE SPINE, NO CREASING, WRITING OR MARKS. THERE IS AN "OUR PRICE" SHOP STICKER ON THE FRONT, WHICH MAY BE REMOVEABLE.
INNER SLEEVES: EXCELLENT. MATCHING BLACK AND WHITE INNERS WITH BAND CREDITS AND LYRICS.
VERY FEW FIRST PRESSING COPIES HAVE SURVIVED IN THIS CONDITION - A VERY COLLECTABLE LANDMARK ALBUM.
