Coventry band. Classic single Red Alert / £8-A-Week (Squad 1978) . Sing along a punk with great riff and tune and a touch of 'The Kids In America' style crooning ! The B-side was covered by the Last Resort and is set to a sort of Johnny B Goode style toon. Second single Millionaire / BrockHill Boys (1979 Squad) continued this rock'n'roll style punkiness unfortunately. One other excellent track , 'The Flasher', exists by the band on the 'Sent To Coventry' compilation. The band were formed at the end of '77 and originally featured Terry Hall ( later of The Specials) who is credited on the label of Red Alert. So many line up changes meant 6 months after releasing the two singles none of the original band remained!
MINT:
Brand new, possibly sealed, with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover and any accompanying items in perfect condition.
EXCELLENT:
May show some signs of having been played, but with very little lessening in sound quality. Cover etc. might be slightly worn.
VERY GOOD:
Obviously well played, but no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, with no major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD:
Sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents may be folded, scuffed, split at the spine, discoloured, etc.
FAIR:
Just about playable, poorly cared for with considerable surface noise even jumps. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR:
Will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD:
Unplayable, possibly even broken, only of use as a collection filler.
