The Stranglers Peaches Original Blackmail Sleeve Rare
The Stranglers Second Single Peaches b/w Go Buddy Go On United Artists Records In 1977 In The Mega Rare Original Blackmail Sleeve. According To An Issue Of Strangled Magazine In The 1980s There Are Only A Handful Of These In Existence Possibly As Few As Ten, So Said A United Artists Employee Who Was Charged With Destroying The Sleeves As The Band Didn't Approve The Design.
Original Copies Of The Disc Were Then Sold To The Public In A Plain White Sleeve Until The Pink Peach Sleeve Was Issued Due To The Songs Commercial Success.
I Acquired This In 1980 From A Liverpool Radio DJ, It Is Definitely The Original Sleeve And Not One Of The Bootleg Copies Printed In Recent Years. Not Pristine As You Can See From The Scans, But This Was The Condition It Was In When I Got It Which I Was So Pleased To Do As It So Mega Mega Rare. It Has Been Kept In A Plastic Sleeve Separate For The Last Twenty Nine Years.
The Record Inside Is The Original UP 36248 United Artists Disc Which Is In Excellent + Near Mint Condition. This Is THe Disc that Came With The Sleeve. I Also Have The Free 3 Radioplay Single Available In A Separate Auction. The Sleeve was Originally Kept In The DJ's Record Box And Althoiugh Free Of Seem Splits Does Have Slight Tears At The Top And Bottom, Some Ringwear Front And Rear And Creasing Arund Where The Disc Was When Inside The Sleeve. It Is However Very Clean, Complete And Very Punk. If You're A True Stranglers Fan You Need This In Your Collection. It's A True Piece Of Musical History.
The record Will Be Posted In A Stiffened Mailer With The Disc In A Plain Inner Laid On Top Of The Picture Sleeve To Prevent Any Seem Splits In Transit.
Please Feel Free To Check Out The Other Punk, New Wave And 60s Garage Items I'm Listing.
