Description:

Original UK 1978 gold vinyl pressing of New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury released on Stiff Records.

This desirable metallic gold vinyl edition was cut at Strawberry Studios with “Strawberry” etched into both runouts.

Although not credited on the sleeve itself, this pressing also includes “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll” opening side 2.

The gold vinyl remains visually especially clean overall with glossy surfaces and only a few light hairlines visible under bright light.

Playback remains particularly strong throughout grading excellent overall during careful play testing.

Labels show moderate spindle wear consistent with careful historical use.

Importantly, this copy still retains the original printed inner sleeve and original hype sticker to the outer sleeve.

The sleeve itself grades excellent overall with only light signs of careful storage/handling.

A particularly attractive example of this sought-after gold vinyl UK pressing.

Carefully cleaned and fully play tested prior to listing. Vinyl also checked carefully for warping and dishing. This copy remains very flat.
