A very very rare opportunity to purchase this classic original
Murder Of Liddle Towers/Police Oppression Dead Records IS/AU/1024 ORIGINAL 1978
Another from my own collection. Took me years to get hold of. Look at photo you can see its the original DIY cover without the Rough Trade/Small Wonder stamps on the top and bottom corners. Only a few were ever produced. Couple of marks on the cover, does not detract, but the wax is very very good! fantastic for 27 years. So its graded as Ex/Ex+ Cover first. Any questions please email me. Sorry for reserve but its that rare!
The Upstarts soon attracted the attention of the Northumbria Police Force, who haunted the band’s early career like a malignant poltergeist. Police interest stemmed from the Upstarts’ championing of the cause of Birtley amateur boxer Liddle Towers who died from injuries received after a night in the police cells. The inquest called it ‘justifiable homicide’. The Upstarts called it murder, and ‘The Murder of Liddle Towers’ (b/w ‘Police Oppression’) was their debut single on their own Dead Records. Later re-pressed by Rough Trade
