A QUICK MESSAGE TO ALL MY FOLLOWERS , I AM NOW BACK WITH A GREAT SELECTION OF MANY VERY RARE RECORDS AND OBVIOUSLY MY USUAL AND OTHER VERY COLLECTABLE 7" AND LP RECORDS AND COLLECTABLES WHICH ARE FROM MY OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION WHICH I HAVE NOW DECIDED TO COMPLETELY SELL OFF , I HAVE LOTS OF FANTASTIC RECORDS TO LIST SO PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON MY LISTINGS , MANY THANKS .

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL OF MY 7" AND 12" VINYL RECORDS ARE PRO CLEANED ON MY PROJECT VACUUM CLEANING MACHINE , THANK YOU .

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL RECORDS , CD's , CASSETTES AND DVD's ARE FULLY PLAY TESTED FROM START TO FINISH ON BOTH SIDES AND INCLUDING ALL SIDES FOR ALL DOUBLE AND TRIPLE ALBUMS AND BOX SETS ETC THANK YOU .

Please note that i do tend to use in and around the " Very Good / Near excellent Condition " grade for a lot of my records , although none are heavily scratched etc and most will just have some general light surface marks only . I never use a " Mint " or " Near Mint " grade . Everyone obviously has their own opinions as to what is very good and excellent , but in my case , i tend to think that most , if not all records do have marks to some degree ( lots even from new ! ) purely because they are vinyl and mark easy and have been used over a considerable amount of time in most cases . This is also why i do often go into more detail than most with my descriptions , as the term " Very Good " can be a bit vague . I do use the " Excellent Condition " grade , but in my case , i would class this as not played very much , excellent shine and just a handful of the very lightest whispy type hairlines only , most only being visible under a light , so you know that when i use excellent , i really do mean excellent and i do pride myself on this fact , i will say i can go a little OTT with noise and general condition and can often make a record sound bad when it really isn't , i do just try my best to say how it is , please don't forget though , that all records will obviously vary in sound quality etc on other set ups depending on the quality being used etc , but please do check out all of my feedback and you will see you can bid with confidence , thank you .

Vic Godard & The Subway Sect A Retrospective (1977-81) LP Orig UK 1984 Punk New Wave Pro Cleaned on UK Rough Trade Records orange / white Rough Trade logo at the top with black print paper labels ROUGH 56 . Comes with the original inner sleeve with the orange cross on the white background with black print on the front and the black with orange print on the rear .Please see photos for track listings .

** Please note that the greyish coloured mark seen in the same place on both S1 and S2 on the close ups of the record playing surfaces in the photos are purely a light reflection / glare and are not marks on the record , thank you ** .

COVER: Factory single card cover generally in a strong near excellent condition and still very nice and clean . A very very very few extremely light and very small general age related / surface / handling marks in places , really hardly anything obvious . The usual but very light only ring wear marks are present with just a very light bit of rubbing mainly just a very light bit at the top and bottom on the front , mostly just seen more at certain angles to the light . Some normal but very light useage / age related wear on the side opening edges , there are some usual but again mostly very light and extremely small bits of fraying / rubbing etc on the corners , but this is mainly just on the tip ends , but there is one quite small crease dink on the top left corner , please see photos , there are really hardly any signs of the usual rubbing in places on the top and bottom edges and there are just a very very very few very light and small / tiny usual crease crack lines in places round the edges , the spine is very nice and fully legible , there is just a very light and very small bit of denting in places , the cover is writing free . 

INNER SLEEVE: Thin glossy finish card inner sleeve in near excellent condition and still nice and clean , just a very light bit of soft denting in places and the usual but generally very light ring wear marks . Hardly any obvious wear on the thumb cut out on the rear and there are no seam splits , the inner sleeve is writing free , there is just the tiniest bit of wear on the corner tips . I will also be putting the record into a new plain white paper inner sleeve .

LABELS: Orange / black print with white Rough Trade logo at the top paper labels generally in near excellent condition , still very nice and clean with just a few usual but light spindle marks , both labels are writing free.

** Please note that the greyish coloured mark seen in the same place on both S1 and S2 on the close ups of the record playing surfaces in the photos are purely a light reflection / glare and are not marks on the record , thank you ** .

RECORD: The overall visual grade of the playing surface under normal average household light conditions is a very strong between very good condition and near excellent condition , though i think many would say airing closer to the near excellent side overall but certainly far far better than very good , with just a very few extremely light surface , mainly faint smudge type marks , though certainly non feelable and non sounding and possibly could even just be manufacturing marks within the vinyl itself , but obviously i can't be sure , there are just two or three very very light and very fine visible certainly non feelable hairlines ( not deep scratches ) and just a very few usual but extremely light and extremely fine whispy type hairlines and sleeve removals , there are no nasty gouges / nasty scratches whatsoever , i will also say that a lot of these few finer hairlines and actually some of the very few extremely light marks are really only more visible when held at certain angles to or under a light . Please note that there maybe the odd tiny dust particle or tiny bit of fluff etc seen on the record in places in the photos off my wiping cloth due to static etc , i can't see them on the record at the time but they sometimes do show up when I take the close up photos , this is also because i do take the photos before i vacuum clean the record , thank you for your understanding . Please see below for audio description .

AUDIO A SIDE: Silent run in has some usual but generally light noise . It plays excellently , beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really nothing in the way of obvious noise that was worthy of mention , if i had to be ultra picky then i think i just heard a very very faint and very brief bit of crackle noise in places , i think on the last part of T5 , but this really was faint and brief only and really barely worth a mention , but i do like to be thorough , there was no nasty continuous crackle and no nasty ticks , there was the odd bit of crackle and light pop on a couple of the silent track changeover lines but most were nice and quiet overall , there may just have been the odd very faint isolated pop on the music that i may have missed . Silent run off has some usual noise with some crackle . This side on the music really does play and sound fantastic and the audio tones are still awesome .

AUDIO B SIDE: Silent run in has some usual but generally light noise with a couple of light pops . It also plays excellently overall , beautifully crisp and clear throughout on the music playback with really next to nothing in the way of obvious noise that was worthy of mention and i think i'm being a little picky here overall for an older record , i just heard a couple of very light ticks approx just before half way on T2 , a very light and very brief bit of crackle type noise literally as the music is fading right at the end of T3 and possibly a super brief ultra faint bit in a couple of other quieter places ( though these other couple are really barely heard ) and a couple of very very light pops on the start of T4 , the vast majority of the silent track changeover lines were nice and quiet overall ( maybe just the odd light pop ) , there was no nasty continuous loud crackle and no nasty loud ticks , there may just have been the odd very faint isolated pop on the music that i may have missed . Silent run off has some usual noise with a bit of crackle present . This side on the music really does play and sound fantastic overall and the audio tones are still awesome .

There were no jumps etc when tested on my deck and it still retains a nice shine . Any noises tend to be in short bursts only , are over quickly , are not constant and do not spoil any enjoyment . If any noises are more frequent or louder etc , they will be described separately in the above detailed descriptions thank you .

All in all a very nice example of this now very collectable item together with super overall sound , do turn this one up and enjoy ! . I have started this one off at a keen £31.99p , the extra shown is what Ebay add on for their fees . Thank you very much for your time and interest and happy bidding . Please do read the following ref record gradings explained thank you .

Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times , but displays no major deterioration in sound quality , despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch , some forms of noise will more than likely be heard in places especially on the quieter parts and the odd tick or pop may also be heard in places especially on the quieter parts , but none of this will overpower any of the music in any way , light edge warps etc and some light " dishing " are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .

Very Good / Near Excellent: The record has obviously been played but shows no overly excessive play wear . There will be some light only surface marks though most will be just fine hairlines , there will be no major deterioration in sound quality at all though some amount of light noise / occasional light pop may be present in places especially on some of the quieter parts , but none of this will be loud or constant or overpower any of the music , the record will play through perfectly , light edge warps etc and some light " dishing " are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .

Near Excellent: The record has obviously been played but shows only light signs of this , a few of the lightest non feelable surface marks being mostly very fine hairlines will be present , but it displays no deterioration in sound quality . Some brief bits of very light noise and very occasional usual light pop maybe present in places and would be acceptable on some quieter parts , but none of this will be loud or constant or overpower any of the music , light edge warps etc and some light " dishing " are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail . Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .

Excellent : The record shows some signs of having been played , but there is very little lessening in sound quality , light edge warps etc and some light " dishing " are acceptable but will not affect the play or sound quality at all , any warps that are more prominent will be described in more detail. Please see the descriptions above for the cover condition .
