The Clash’s “Complete Control” single is a rare and highly sought-after first pressing from 1977 on the CBS Records label. This punk rock classic features the iconic track in high-fidelity on black vinyl, housed in a paper sleeve with original cover art. A must-have for any collector of 1970s rock music, this UK release captures the energy and raw talent of The Clash in their prime, making it a valuable addition to any vinyl collection.

Thanks for looking. I’m downsizing my family’s personal record collection and would love these to go to people who will genuinely enjoy them as much as I have.

All records have been well cared for, listened to, and fully play-tested to ensure they meet a high standard before sale. While I’d rather keep them, times are tough, so there are some great bargains available.

Postage & Packaging

All records are sent via recorded/tracked delivery in strong, purpose-made LP mailers with additional protective cardboard where needed. Once dispatched, responsibility lies with the courier, but I have excellent feedback for safe delivery. Recorded delivery is used for both buyer and seller protection.

Pricing

Starting prices are based on thorough market research, including recent sales and current going rates.

Grading

All records are play-tested and graded carefully with a meticulous, high-standard approach.

I aim to avoid gaps in grading and will always assign the most accurate condition:

* MINT (M) – Only used for sealed records or those I personally purchased new and have never played.
* NEAR MINT (NM) – Near flawless, with only the faintest, barely visible marks if any.
* EXCELLENT (EX) – Very clean with a strong shine; may show light scuffs or minor signs of use.
* VERY GOOD (VG) – Still a respectable copy with noticeable light marks, scuffs, or occasional light scratches, but plays well.
* GOOD (G) – More obvious wear and marks, but still playable without major issues.
* FAIR (F) – Heavily worn/overplayed; suitable mainly for display or collection filler rather than regular listening.

Most items listed will fall between NM and VG. Lower grades are rarely listed unless part of inherited collections.

Important Notes

* All records are described as accurately and honestly as possible, with play-testing completed prior to sale.
* Due to this, no returns are accepted — items are sold as described in each listing.
* Please ensure your equipment is correctly set up before purchasing. All records have been tested on a quality REGA setup through Edifier speakers to confirm playback.

Thanks again for your interest, and feel free to get in touch with any reasonable questions.
