A very clean example of a rare Clash collectible. From Wikipedia: The extended play record Capital Radio was released on 9 April 1977, but was not sold commercially. Instead, it was given away free to readers who sent off a coupon printed in the NME, plus the red sticker found on the band's debut studio album The Clash (1977). The E.P. was produced by Mickey Foote and engineered by Simon Humphrey. The interview with the band was conducted by the NME's writer Tony Parsons and was recorded during a trip on a London Underground train. 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.
