First Strike
Flash Records
843 007
Sleeve and record are VG++ (Made in Belgium stickers on the label and rear sleeve)
In 1984, when Def Leppard were riding the rocket to stardom with the multi-platinum "Pyromania" album, an independent label in Belgium (Flash) decided the time was right to cash in and release a mini-album of the band's early demos in 1979. Def Leppard were understandably upset with this release as the raw-sounding demos sounded nothing like the mega-production of "Mutt" Lange. Flash immediately withdrew all copies, making this a very rare Def Leppard collectible. Track listing is:-
Heat Street
Answer to the Master
See the Lights
When the Walls come tumbling down

Sorrow is a Woman

Condition of items
Records
All records (unless sealed) are visually inspected, spot-checked for sound quality and cleaned with a carbon fibre brush, which eliminates most surface noise due to dust or static, but a proper 'wet' clean is recommended for best results. Note that used records have noticeably more noise on the 'intro' before the first track starts, and is not considered in the record grading. The sound quality of picture discs and some coloured vinyl records are not comparable with a regular record, even when new. Sleeves for still-sealed albums and promo releases will usually have deletion holes/cuts, which is considered normal. Also, still-sealed albums may have tears or rubbing on the shrinkwrap - if the condition of the shrinkwrap is important to you, please ask.
CDs
Compact discs (unless sealed) are cleaned with a soft cloth and played. The described condition is for the disc and inserts/booklet, not the jewel case. Inserts and jewel cases for promo releases will usually have deletion holes/cuts and any barcode scratched to prevent resale, which is considered normal.
Other items
As described in the item description.
Price stickers
I have generally removed price stickers from anything I buy where doing so will not damage the item, but occasionally some residue from the sticker will be left. In a case such as this, the item will not be described as mint.
