Description

A few weeks ago, I got a call from an old friend who'd been a part of the Sydney inner city punk/indie scene from about 1977-84 (his older brother was one of the two guitarists in this band)...anyway he was clearing house and wanted to get rid of his record collection. So I bought it all. He's a cool guy who'd had a passion for the whole tribal Aussie punk/indie/Detroit-inspired/Radio Birdman thing, plus the post-punk/synth/'little bands'/M Squared scene too and had bought a lot of classics at the time...plus other random goodies of minimal rarity but high on quality - it's great stuff...I remember he used to shop at Phantom a lot, a few even have old Phantom price stickers on them still - I left them on. 

Anyway, this record below is one of that collection:

ARTIST:   The FLAMING HANDS


TRACKS:  
"WAKE UP SCREAMING" / "SWEET REVENGE

FORMAT:              …vinyl 7” single… 
LABEL:              PHANTOM    .
CATALOGUE #:   PH-8     .
PRESSED IN:       Australia   .

DATE OF RELEASE:     28 April 1981   .

ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING?:    ...Yes, it is...first pressings had a normal flat (straight-cut) rim at the top on the back cover, on the opening edge...second press had a scalloped (curved) top to the back cover (I've added a pic of both here, for you to compare)...

 

...Anyway, this is the band's equally awesome second single...both songs originals written by guitarist Jeff Sullivan...the 'B' side had been a staple live tune of his previous band The Passengers.

The Flaming Hands was made up of ex-/later members of the Kamikaze Kids, the Passengers, the (post-Radio Birdman) Visitors, the Leftovers, and the Riptides...

 

CONDITION:

COVER/VINYL: ( VG++ / EX- )...

LABELS: (Side One: MINT / Side Two: MINT )...

If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).
