Description
This is the original 1981 Headcleaners (Huvudtvätt) split with Picnic boys. It was released in 200 to 300 copies (disputed). Each copy has a number. This is number 195. I have seen some copies over the years but never a number above 200. I'm selling my spare copy and keeping copy number 33 in my collection of this classic Swedish hardcore EP.
The label is Massproduktion with catalogue code Z-16. There are no reissues for this one so this is the real deal and a great opportunity to by a historical important EP with really fantastic Swedish hardcore.
I would rate the picture sleeve to VG+. It has minor dents in the lower corners and slight ringwear on the upper left (which can not be seen on the pictures so I mention it here). The rear sleeve is white. The cover is in thick paper, like cornflakeboxpaper. The vinyl (side Headcleaners) I will rate VG (that is the side the punks played - the Picnic boys are not too impressive). There are scuffs on the record but it plays without skipping. There are some surface noice between songs.
I have recorded the vinyl so you can listen to it here

This is the Headcleaners with the Swedish lyrics (called Huvudtvätt here in Sweden) with the following killer songs / Smutsig Byk / Huvudtvätt / Manglad / Torktumlaren / Stryk / Ren lögn. On the other sides there are two songs with Picnic boys (not worth mentioning).
I ship my records in a record mailers. The record and the sleeve will be separated with a stiff carbon sheet.
Shipping is 10 USD for Sweden, 14 USD for Europe and 18 USD for the rest of the world. This includes registred mail. No shipping to Italy and South America (and "strange" countries)
I will put it out with a very low reseve. Happy bidding.
Some info --> The band (Huvudtvätt = Headcleaners) existed between 1981 and 1984 and was formed by the brothers Mats and Torulf Nilsson. After the demise of Sundsvall's most famous (and orthodox) punk band Massmedia in 1980, the two brothers moved to Linköping to study, and they were eager to play again. It was originally planned as a solo project by Mats, but it resulted in Huvudtvätt (HT). With new influences from the US hardcore scene and England’s Discharge, they took a step towards a tougher punk style.HT was focused on the Swedish market. All the song titles had a cleaning theme, and the ambiguous lyrics were humorous but serious at the same time.
