AC/DC - Cold Hearted Man 1982 Australia 12" Single

A very hard to find issue. This issue plays the same song on both sides, and has the original 1st label on both sides.
Very few of these got out The first label of this bonus record for the AC/DC Vol. 1 box set, played only on One side, and carried a White label on Side 2. Many sellers deceptively list that issue as a White Label Promo (it is NOT a promo issue, it is a bonus record only available in this box set)
The first issue of the box set was the only issue to have the record play on only One side, so for the 1982 version, the 12" single was now playing the same song on both sides, and only a tiny handful made it out with the original 1st labels on both sides, making this the rarest version of this single, and by a very large margin... these are hardly ever seen
This 12" single was never available for commercial sale, and only came with the Vol. 1 Box Set.
I have seen these listed as an error, but it is not really an error, it is part of the frenetic label changes that happened at Albert Productions in the early Eighties (there are reasons for that too)
The change from a One sided Single, to a Two sided single occurred in 1982
The window of opportunity was tiny, just a matter of weeks, before, yet again, the labels would change. This, coupled with the fact that you could only get this if you purchased the Vol.1 Box Set, has made this Two sided issue, with original first labels on both sides, a very rare record
In VG+ condition throughout.
No rips, tears, splits or writing. Light wear to the sleeve Faint lines / light scratches under strong light, but little to no effect on the audio.

A few words about postage.

Within Australia, the best value for multiple purchases is a 5KG satchel, where as many as 15 to 20 LPs can be posted for $22.00 registered post. (well packed in a box, inside the satchel)

My Policies on postage are simple.

I post at cost.
The user pays.
I package well.

Any item that you purchase without choosing the option of "Signed for" or "Registered" Post, is at your risk.
I do accept that "signed for" can be expensive, especially internationally, but whether you take the option of this insurance, is entirely up to you.
I do not wish to withdraw the option of standard postage for the cheaper records, but it must be at your risk.
