Description

The product is a rare 7" vinyl single by the artist Wipers, released in 1978 on TRAP Records. Titled "Better Off Dead," this rock record is housed in a paper sleeve and is in near mint condition. This tour edition single, featuring stereo audio channels, is a must-have for collectors of original vinyl records.

First pressing 1978 record, second issue black and orange sleeve made by the band for a tour in 1979.
According to interviews only 50 to 60 copies were made.

It should be noted that the cover sleeve is not the same dimensions as usual, and as such, is about an inch short on the right side.
