Description

Am selling this on behalf of a friend who knew the members of the band and says it was given to him by a member of the band in the Sunderland area at the time it was released. (possibly at a "Catholic Youth Club" gig!!)  It has been stored in this plastic sleeve all this time and hardly ever been played to our knowledge.  Visually it is EX+/Near Mint, play testing on a revealing hi fi system however I would grade it a bit less about EX, but then again this was an independently pressed punk E.P.and never really meant to be hi fi!  I would still maintain that you are unlikely to find one in better condition.  What looks like a sleeve issued by the band and/or friends of the band is also present, lots of interesting credits on the back including "Special thanks to Patty Smith for the money loan"!  Recorded 24th May 1980.  Will try and improve pics at some stage, they are caught in partial/uneven sunlight.  Price will include Recorded/Special Delivery postage within UK, extra for outside UK.

 **UPDATE**  Just to let buyers know that I will not end the auction early (despite having already had some good offers), so all can bid with confidence that the auction will run as originally promised and will not suddenly be withdrawn!

 **UPDATE**  Have just noticed the label is the same on both sides!  I have no idea whether this is usually the case or not.  The most recently added pic is the "A" side, the pic previously posted is Side 2.
