SEEING RED Ice/Weekahead 1985 La disque de la rouge SRS001 Picture sleeve Condition - VG++
There is a message "To Renee, lots of love" - and a signature - on the reverse of the picture sleeve ( as per photo.) I am not sure if this is a band member or not. The record seems hardly played - I haven't played it. I bought it in a job lot and am selling off the records I don't want myself.
I didn't know anything about this record or the band so I did a little research and it seems it has been the subject of debate in the past, and there appear to be only a handful of copies in existence. The debate did mention a copy in New Zealand - so I guess I have that one?
With regard to the band I found this on a blog - http://mineforlife.blogspot.co.nz/
Seeing Red was a band from Guernsey, Channel Islands that released one solitary single, a double A side. Track one is "Ice" which reflected on Robert Scott's tragic expedition to the South Pole in 1912 and in particular the self-sacrifice of Captain Lawrence Oates who walked to his death in order to give his companions a better chance to survive. The back of the sleeve quotes H.R. Bowers, another member of the five man expedition.
The band consisted of Graham Luxton (vocals), Stephen Luxton (keyboards), Dave Upson (bass) and Gary Rouget (keyboards). The single was pressed on the Les Disques De La Rose Rouge label, serial number SRS001.
Due to the value of this item the postage has been priced as International Courier.
