Description

This is a genuine copy of the classic SLF first single. I have owned this since I purchased it at a record fair in 1985. I would say that it has been played 3-4 times in my ownership.
The record itself I would describe as Near Mint. There is a slight blotchiness to the vinyl in places, but that is just the way it was pressed. I have seen one other copy that was owned by a friend, and his vinyl was quite blotchy too.
The cover I would describe as Very Good Plus. There is a little discolouration around the edges, and a little creasing, but absolutely no rips or tears. This is the original hand made cover, with 'Suspect Device' in the right hand top corner, as opposed to the other releases where it was printed on the top left. Remember, this single is 45 years old, and in my opinion it is in very good shape. You'll will be hard pressed to find a better copy than this, hence the price.
Here is a quote from Discogs; 
"1st pressing in hand made sleeve. High contrast black and white photograph on rear sleeve.
Red label with cat# on right hand side of label.
Several copies come with number 2 written in black marker just under the centre hole on the B-side label.
500 only"

Any questions, please feel free to ask. Please note that postage quoted is for Mainland UK ONLY, and does not include Scottish Highlands etc. Please contact me for a quote for any other areas.
Thanks for looking!
