Ebay Rock 45's (9/23/11)

Ebay Rock 45's

Each Friday, I post a select group of 5 rock 45's that sold on Ebay recently along with the corresponding video - so you can judge for yourself if the buyer got a good deal.

XTC Science Friction $290.00

From the Auction:

HOLY GRAIL TIME! Here you have the original issue of the impossibly rare withdrawn debut 7" by XTC from 1977. This was pressed in very few copies. NOTE that this is the rare 7" (not the 12"!). Have a listen below if you don't know this! Two fantastic sides. Comes (as originally sent out to reviewers) with an A4 size "Virgin information" press release sheet and a xeroxed review published in Sounds in September 1977. Very seldom turns up for sale. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE!

Here's an auction that I wish I had won - 65 punk 45's for $306 - just under $5 each!

Hi, this is a lot of 65 vintage Punk and related 45s from the 70's and early 80's. All are original pressings unless noted. All records grade in at VG++ to NEAR MINT unless noted. All picture sleeves grade in at VG+ to VG++ unless noted (only a few don't have picture sleeves). A few sleeves may have a small piece of clear tape on a corner or seam -- the previous owner was somewhat of a serial taper. That said, it does not interfere with the overall qulaity of the sleeves -- he was very discreet and neat when it came to his taping! All are UK pressings unless noted. This is more stuff from the big Punk / Alternative / 60's collection that I was lucky enough to get awhile back. And like most of the other stuff in the collection, these 45's are GORGEOUS -- the winning bidder will be VERY HAPPY.
