Description

2 track 7" on Fiction from 1979. Reissue on Fiction of their debut single from 1978 originally issued on Small Wonder. Silver injected labels with the Cat. No. as FICS 001 ( and not FICS001 ). Matrix are A2 / B2 (stamped). A side also has RC-PP (etched). Cover has angled edged opening on the back and no Cat. No. on the sleeve.

CONDITION : Vinyl has run in intro crackle on both sides. Calms down when the main track starts.  You can hear a sample of the b side  intro taken from this copy on the following link  : 
https://youtube.com/shorts/H39Hh1IX9wA?si=KjLiic5fQCTETBpP  .
I had made a video of the A side but YouTube removed it stating it was "hate speech" despite there being 100s of versions on there already ..... I will add it here should they see sense. The intro sounds similar to the B side  but with a couple more pops.
Cover is VG+.  Both labels are clean.
POSTAGE : : UK £3.30 Tracked 48
PAYMENT : PayPal only.
