SEX PISTOLS - FLOGGING A DEAD HORSE
The sleeve grades VG condition. Overall it's in really good shape. There's tape along the top from what was probably a repaired seam separation, but it's done nicely. Color and gloss finish is great. Spine is in great shape. Corners are dinged but retain shape and there is not too much edgewear. There's no original inner sleeve, though I think it originally was a generic inner. Disc will ship in new audiophile sleeve.
The vinyl play grades Strong VG+ condition. There are no deficiencies or issues in playback, no surface noise. There is one light surface mark on Side One and are two light surface marks on Side Two visible with the naked eye. Under direct bright light the disc is still very clean but shows additional light surface marks/rubs/hairlines that do not impact play. The disc has been ultrasonically and hand cleaned. Side One label is excellent, Side Two label shows a small scuff mark.
1979 first UK pressing of the compilation released without the band's permission after they broke up.
Virgin release, catalog V2142.
