Description
THE PACK...HEATHEN ORIGINAL 7" BLACK VINYL SINGLE ON SS LABEL CAT. NO. PAK 1 FROM 1979.
DEBUT RELEASE FROM THE PACK FROM APRIL 1979, AND WHAT A DEBUT. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY A STIFF RECORDS PLUG (PROMO?) COPY AND HAS BEEN STAMPED ON THE INNER SLEEVE AND BELONGED TO TERRY RAZOR WHO WENT ON TO BE THE PACK MANAGER. HE ALSO WORKED WITH THE CLASH AND MIKEY DREAD AMONG OTHERS. HE WAS A PROMINENT FIGURE IN THE LONDON PUNK UNDERGROUND SCENE BACK THEN.
THE VINYL IS IN A STRONG VERY GOOD PLUS PLUS CONDITION. I SAY THIS AS IT SHOULD BE CLASSED AS EXCELLENT. THERE IS STILL A GOOD SHINE TO IT AND IT LOOKS GREAT. ON 'BRAVE NEW SOLDIERS' THERE IS A SURFACE MARK NEAR THE BEGINNING WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY A LIGHT SCRATCH. THIS GIVES SOME VERY MINOR CRACKLE AT THE START FOR A FEW SECONDS, WHICH IS VERY MINOR, AND ALSO A FEW VERY VERY LIGHT TICKS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND BARELY AUDIBLE. PLAYING IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT ON BOTH SIDES. THE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN AND FREE OF MARKS.
THE PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION, WITH JUST THE TINIEST AMOUNT OF EDGE AND CORNER WEAR, MAINLY THE TWO BOTTOM CORNERS AND THE OPENING (SEE PHOTOS). THERE IS ALSO A SMALL AND VERY NEAT SEAM SPLIT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE APPROX. 30mm LONG.
IT ALSO COMES IN A WHITE PAPER INNER SLEEVE WHICH HAS DISCOLOURED SLIGHTLY. THE MAIN THING HERE IS THAT THIS INNER SLEEVE HAS THE STIFF RECORDS 'PLUG COPY' STAMP ON (SEE PHOTO). IT HAS ALSO BEEN MONGRAPHED T.R. WHICH I AM RELIABLY INFORMED STANDS FOR TERRY RAZOR WHO WORKED FOR STIFF RECORDS AND WENT ON TO BE THE MANAGER OF THE PACK.
41 YEARS OLD NOW AND OVERRALL IN GREAT CONDITION.
