Catalogue No. BFFP 14T
Band: Big Black
Title 12": HEADACHE: My Disco; Grinder / Ready Men; King Dick
Year: 1986
UK Limited Edition 1000
One of the most collectible punk/indy records of all time. Big Black's "Headache" EP with a picture sleeve so shocking it is hidden from casual view by a black body bag vinyl jacket. On the interview album "Talk About Fcuking" released the following year Steve Albini answers the question as to why the band decided to use post-mortem photos for the cover art of Headache by saying "It's a repulsive picture ... and that's the point."
This is one of the UK Blast First copies complete with gold medallion and Blast First logo. Inside is the 12" EP on blood red vinyl; a 12 page booklet; a giant fold out poster and a 7" blood red vinyl single: Heartbeat / Things To Do Today; I Can't Believe (T&G#21)
Overall I would grade the package Excellent minus.
The outer jacket has a crease on the front top left corner and a much smaller one on the reverse. You should be able to see them on the attached photos. The poster has never been hung. It's a little bit wrinkled but it's been folded up inside the outer sleeve for 30 years. Both the records are in excellent condition: no scratches, no stains, nothing. The booklet is also in excellent condition. Again the pages are a little wrinked but have a good look at the photos because I honestly think you'll struggle to find a copy in better condition at this starting price.
Remember it's *FREE POSTAGE* within the UK (I'll be shipping this tracked and with suitable insurance) and if you have any questions don't hesitate to message me
