Description: A beautiful 1977 first pressing of the Buzzcocks 7" EP Spiral Scratch on New Hormones Records. This is the earliest pressing without Howard Devoto's name on the front cover, the label address printed on the bottom of the back cover, and the disc with the molded plastic label. The disc here is in Mint condition, while the picture sleeve is in Excellent condition, with some fraying and two tiny tears to the top, a tiny tear to the right hand flipback on the back, and minor handling. A very clean example. From Wikipedia: Spiral Scratch is an EP and the first release by the English punk rock band Buzzcocks. It was released on 29 January 1977. It is one of the earliest releases by a British punk band (preceded by The Damned’s ‘New Rose’ in October 1976, and both Sex Pistols ‘Anarchy in the UK’ and the first two singles by The Vibrators in November 1976). Spiral Scratch and the album Time's Up are the only Buzzcocks studio releases with original singer Howard Devoto, who left shortly after the EP's release to form one of the first post-punk bands, Magazine. We grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. We try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound. We regularly receive praise for our grading, but as all grading is subjective, we are happy to give a full refund for anything you aren't happy with no questions asked. Unlike some eBay sellers, we don't feel the need to hype records by including long reviews or albums, quoting lyrics, making up arcane variations. We just grade accurately, describe any flaw, and sell only high quality rare records in fine condition. See our other listings for more from this fantastic collection.
