Original SHRAPNEL "Combat Love" single, B w/ "Hey". Released in 1979. Favorites of the Ramones and some others in the NYC punk underground in the late 70s (check out that thank you list!). Dave Wyndorf and Phil Caivano would go on to form Monster Magnet. Of the few photographs I've seen of these, this one is in amazing shape compared to some. 
Condition: There's some slight browning of the paper, a 1 1/2" seam split in the top right corner of the jacket (see photo). I've tried to document any other minor creasing/edgewear in the photographs as well but no other rips, tears or stains to be found. If you'd like me to take more/have questions, feel free to message. 
The dust cover has a small tear towards the bottom from someone haphazardly returning the record inside of it. 
The record itself is to me exceptional for it's age. There are two slight hairline marks on side A (again, see photos) that do not affect play. There's barely any surface noise and plays perfectly from start to finish. Matrix/Runout is simply 2001/2002 respectively, with the Sterling plant stamped on both sides.
 A rare gem of late 70s NYC punk rock history, and members went on to do some pretty big things afterwards.

From Wiki: Shrapnel released two 7 inch indie singles in 1979 and 1981 respectively, and also had a major label (Elektra Records) 5 song self-titled 12" EP released in 1984, before disbanding in 1985. The members were Dave Wyndorf (vocals), Daniel Rabinowitz, aka Daniel Rey (guitar), Dave Vogt (guitar), Phil Caivano (bass), and Danny Clayton (drums). Wyndorf would go on to co-found eventual gold selling rock band Monster Magnet in 1989, and continues to lead that band 30 years later. Caivano has also been a long time member of Monster Magnet, and has played in other bands including Blitzspeer and Murphy's Law. Rey has produced over 40 albums since 1987, including for artists such as the Ramones, Misfits, White Zombie, and Ronnie Spector, and served as Joey Ramone's guitarist during his solo career.
