Hammer To Fall – The Headbangers Mix
Rare Live Picture Sleeve
This is a great addition to a Queen or record collection as it was only available in this format for about a week before being withdrawn.
The 7” and 12" editions have both been known to fetch £180+ apiece and the current list price is £250 for mint condition.
The Queen Collector site says………….
If you want to spice up your collecting life with something few others have got, then you need a record that's unreleased or has been withdrawn. Copies of the 1984 single, "Hammer To Fall", with a long-distance live shot of Queen on the picture sleeve, are stalwarts of the collecting scene. The single was shipped to branches of Woolworth's before, as the story goes, Brian May decided he didn't like the image as it gave the false impression that the single was a live recording. The sleeve [was] quickly pulled in favour of a last-minute replacement featuring little more than the record's title.
I have to be honest and say that this one is not in mint condition.
Although there are some surface scratches the record has been checked and plays all the way through both sides with no skipping. The cover is scuffed on the corners and has a small dent and scuff just below & to the right of the first E of Queen as you can see from my photos. The photo in the gallery is not of the actual item for sale, purely because I am not the greatest photographer!
