Superb copy of this 1978 Stranglers album on United Artists, complete with the ultra-rare mis-pressed 7" EP.
This was the band's third studio album and not quite as critically acclaimed as its predecessors at the time. The first 75,000 were issued with a white-vinyl 3-track EP. Problems with the manufacture saw a small number pressed in off-white colours, including pink, blue & grey variants.
These off-white variants were supposed to be withdrawn, but a few slipped through the net and were issued with the album.
This has resulted in them being highly sought after by collectors.
This is one of those rare copies with an off white EP, and just for good measure, I have included the proper true white EP in the package - rare enough in itself!

This is not a mint copy, but it is in super condition for its age and this is reflected in the generous opening price.
I may consider a Buy It Now, but at the moment, I'm minded to set it off quite low with no reserves and just see where it goes.
