Message To The World / Outta My Brain
Raw 26
I was planning to issue this in a picture sleeve. I couldn’t afford to produce a colour picture sleeve at this time. I had a sample picture sleeve designed. To be honest it’s not a great picture sleeve. It’s black and white and the writing on the back is not very well laid out.
However, this is the ONLY COPY in existence.
Never issued in a picture sleeve (except the one copy – see my other auction items).
I’m sure this is a remixed version of the track from the Album.
Just a quick note. For a short time I released the records through a company called Plastic Fantastic run by two guys who were behind “The Label” who produced the records by Eater and other bands. They were based in a basement near Covent Garden.
I often think of the help they gave me and it was only with their help a few of these later records were released. This is one of them. So thanks guys!
This is an ultra rare - Unplayed Mint Condition Copy
It has been kept in a plastic sleeve in a box all these years
The record is 100% unplayed
My own personal copy
My name is Lee Wood and I am the founder of Raw Records.
I am selling off a collection of records from my own label.
These are totally unplayed copies in Mint condition.
100% original copies. Each item has been in my home since 1977.
I am now having a clear-out of some items.
So now is the time for someone else to enjoy owning this unique item.
Many people who have purchased the Raw Records items I sold recently requested a signed letter of authentification with the record. I will be happy to include one with your record. Also, I have been sent a number of questions by people from around the world. If you have any questions that my memory can recall then I’m happy to answer as honestly as I can.
You can also find some amazing stuff about Raw Records and most of the great bands of the Punk/New Wave era on the incredible website www.Punk77.co.uk
And if anyone is in contact with Dave Ferguson the well-known punk seen on many London postcards who frequented the Kings Road in the 1980’s and is an avid collectors of Punk/New Wave would you ask him to send me a copy of the unreleased songs by Leonard Vice called I’ve Got Spots/Elevenpenny Plums. It is an incredible single by a very talented man. I let Dave borrow my only cassette copy in the 1980’s and have never seen it since. I would gladly pay £50 for a good clear copy. This was due to be issued on Raw but never was.
Someone recently asked me why am I selling all these items? No, I’m not hard up for the money. I have to face the fact I’m getting older and have been a collector of records and “things” most of my life. Therefore my offices are stuffed with things I never use. So it is far better to offer them to people who will appreciate them.
Kept in a smoke free and dust free environment for over 33 years old!
