Rare original 1981 UK 12inch issue with 'head' sleeve & warning sticker - see photos for more details

CONDITION (vinyl/cover)

VG (the labels show signs of only 1 play; the surfaces are shiny but through damp storage the disc has got a bit warped and there are numerous superficial speckling marks/scuffs; thankfully these marks and the warp don't affect play and both sides play great - please see video)

/ EX- (card sleeve with the rare original warning sticker; this is a bright solid example with light storage wear, no significant creases and no major defects - there's a surface tear along the bottom edge on the rear, otherwise it is EX)
