Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine
'101 Damnations'
CD reissue with extra tracks.

This is their 1990 breakthrough debut album. It went to #1 in the indie charts and then the UK top 30 on re-release, and features the top 40 chart hit Sheriff Fatman.  Their next four LPs were all UK Top 10, one at UK #1.

Based in South London, England, Carter and Morrison originally were in an indie band called Jamie Wednesday, issuing two singles. Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine (later shortened to Carter USM) formed when Fruitbat and Jim Bob were the only band members to turn up for a gig, and went on stage as a duo with backing tapes.

After a low-key debut single in 1988, it was the second single 'Sheriff Fatman' in 1989 that gained the band recognition. The song was written about a South London slumlord and was followed by the album 101 Damnations – a critical account of life south of the River Thames, full of black humour, cynicism, wordplay and puns. The album went straight to the top of the indie charts.

The band's gigs became well known for a wall of white stage lights that threw off enormous heat and contributed to the sweaty, stage-diving crowd scenes that became part of the band's image. They went on to be signed to Rough Trade and then Chrysalis with a series of four UK top ten albums, and were latterly with Cooking Vinyl.

Still popular, Jim Bob includes Carter songs acoustically at his gigs, such as at a sold out Shepherds Bush Empire in March 2018, and Les Carter is regularly touring the UK and Europe with his two current bands (see below).

Tracks: The Road To Domestos, Everytime A Churchbell Rings, Twenty Four Minutes From Tulse Hill, An All American National Sport, Sheriff Fatman, The Taking Of Peckham 123, Crimestoppers A' Go Go, Good Grief Charlie Brown, Midnight On The Murder Mile, A Perfect Day To Drop The Bomb, G.I. Blues, bonus tracks: RSPCE, Twintub with Guitar, Rubbish, Rent.

PLEASE READ THE SMALL PRINT BEFORE YOU BUY:

PAYMENT
Paypal is smoothly integrated into ebay, and works well. 
Paying by credit-card - if you don't have Paypal, you can still use credit-cards through PayPal. 
Just DON’T LOG INTO AN ACCOUNT, and look for the button saying ‘Pay by credit-card’. 
We also accept cheques from UK banks in Pounds Sterling, and UK Postal Orders. Checks in US Dollars from US banks can be accepted with a $3 surcharge. 
PayPal ‘eCheque’ payments take a week longer to arrive, so expect a delay if you use that facility.  You can avoid eCheques by having a credit-card linked to your PayPal account. 
Orders paid by any method outside the PayPal system will likely be subject to delays.

POSTAGE
The amount we charge is what we expect to pay plus approx 15-40p for packing materials. 
There's NO such thing as 'free postage'!  Prices include 20% VAT on the postage as well as the goods, ebay then take commission of 8-10% - on the item, postage AND the VAT... and then ask you whether our postage charges are 'fair'.  We don't 'include' postage, otherwise we can't offer reduced postage for multiple items...
MULTIPLE ITEMS POSTAGE
For multiple items, there will be an automatic reduction in postage costs of 50% of further items postage.  BUT make sure you order them together, not individually: FIRST ADD THEM ALL TO YOUR CART. 
If you want to wait for an accurate calculation: MAKE SURE you're on the ebay.CO.UK site, not an overseas one.  Put ALL the items into your basket, then go to 'Contact Seller'.  There, click on the 'Request total from seller' button.  We'll then weigh and recalculate your combined items postage and send you an invoice.  This may take a day or two; the postage may or may not calculate as less. 

DELIVERY TIME excludes weekends and Bank Holidays, which may be different in the UK from elsewhere. 
Packets to overseas destinations (particularly Italy, Russia, South America) often take longer than advertised due to local customs delays. 
OVERSEAS POST is by Royal Mail Air Mail Small Packet or parcel, for which there is currently NO TRACKING number.  We don't regularly offer a 'signed for' or tracked service; but message us if your order is over £50 value and you'd like to add such a service.  WE ADVISE A SIGNED-FOR SERVICE FOR ALL BRAZIL ORDERS.
Ebay will update your order once it is sent.  Soon they should add tracking details there.
PACKAGING: For vinyl we use sturdy card cruciforms, not envelopes, and if not shrinkwrapped we remove discs from sleeves, to avoid sleeve splits.  For CDs we use corrugated cardboard, not jiffy bags.

PROBLEM?
We want you to be really happy with your purchase.  If you’re not, or something’s gone wrong, please message us.  We will do our very best to resolve things.  If our item description isn’t quite right, or you think we’ve overcharged on postage, please LET US KNOW instead of 'opening a case' or marking down our ebay feedback.  If you have an order problem you’d like to resolve quickly, you can phone us (you'll have to google our website for the number, ebay prohibit phone numbers).  Good manners are appreciated!

EBAY MESSAGING
It’ll help us deal with your query faster if you can include the order reference #number!  At least your name AND ebay ID.  Please try not to 'open a case' unless you're seriously concerned.  Message us first; we always want you to be happy with the service you get.
