RICHARD HELL - Another World 7", Stiff UK, Punk, RARE!!

Rear sleeve says "This record has been pressed in a limited edition of 5000" but also bears a "No. 6870" notation -- what gives? As this Stiff discography site explains, there were actually four different pressings of the record. The copy up for auction here is from the "3rd variation."

Such arcana notwithstanding, it's a killer record and a definitive piece of punk history. In addition to the amazing tunes, you've got the totally boss sleeve photo, the razor blade "typeface" on the front cover, and the lettering on the back cover was done by Pete Frame (the same guy who pioneered the rock family tree concept).

Vinyl is absolutely pristine -- really. NO audible defects. Front sleeve has an unfortunate yellowed spot, about 3/4" long and 1/2" wide, where some idiot put a price tag and some even bigger idiot removed it (for the record, neither idiot was me). Aside from that, the sleeve has been preserved as beautifully as the vinyl.

Seriously, people, it doesn't get a whole lot better than this.
