COLLECTOR NOTES:

  • This is a rare Belgian only release on Flash label catalog 843 007. :contentReference[oaicite:3]
  • Unofficial/“bootleg” status often cited — but still highly sought after by collectors of Def Leppard early material. :contentReference[oaicite:5]
  • Check the run-out matrix: many copies list “FLASH 843007-A-” on side A and “FLASH 843007-B-” on side B. :contentReference[oaicite:6]
  • Look for condition details — sleeve, labels, vinyl surface. Because it's rare, condition is very important.

WHY LIST THIS RECORD:

  • Early recordings of Def Leppard often collecting value due to being less common than their mainstream albums.
  • Belgium Flash 843007 copy is referenced in specialist price‐guides at higher levels. :contentReference[oaicite:7]
  • Great for dedicated fans, collectors of 80s NWOBHM/hard rock, or vinyl rarity seekers.

CONDITION & SALES ADVICE:

Please clearly state the condition of both vinyl and sleeve, e.g. “Vinyl VG+ / Sleeve VG”, or better if near mint. Show pictures of front cover, back cover, both sides of vinyl labels, and run-out etchings. Highlight any marks, wear, seam splits, or plays. The rarer the pressing and the better the condition, the more premium you can charge.
