The Belle Stars: Mockingbird b/w Turn Back The Clock 1982 Bilbo Tape 1 Poster NM

Description: For sale is a 45 RPM vinyl single, originally released in 1982 by Stiff Records in the United Kingdom, then imported into the United States. I bought this new, when it was first released, and immediately put it into an archival inner sleeve, then into a storage box for 45 RPM singles, that was kept under optimum conditions for both temperature and humidity. The original picture sleeve cover, which turns into a poster, is graded as Excellent because of wrinkling around the edges. The vinyl is visually graded as Near Mint. In the dead wax before the labels but after the track's ending, is etched "Bilbo Tape One", followed by the matrix numbers A-1/B-2, indicating that this record was mastered by Denis Blackham at Tape One Studios located in London, before early stampers were used to press this single. These are indications of state-of-the-art engineering which produce superior sound quality. You would be hard pressed to find a copy of this record in this condition, especially a Bilbo Tape One version from the original owner. This would be a welcome addition to anyone's collection. Please read all descriptions and look at all pictures, as this is a final sale and I do not accept returns. Thank you for viewing my listing. I've been collecting records for more that 50 years and always clean them before and after playback to keep them in a pristine condition. I try to describe them to the best of my ability and use record grading guidelines like the Goldmine rating system as reference. Since retiring, I've begun to sell my very esoteric collection via my Ebay store (bobsanalogemporium) and will offer discounts for multiple sales. I always pack the items for sale in an archival inner sleeve, then put them in either a Kraft paper bubble mailer with sturdy cardboards or cardboard record mailers, always with the records separate from the jackets or its original picture sleeve, then sandwiched between sturdy cardboards before shipping. Please read all descriptions carefully and note all pictures before-hand, as I do not accept returns. Please visit my Ebay store for records, 45's, cassette tapes and comics of all different genres. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you viewing my listing.
