Description

Golden Brown 7'' Irish Pressing mistakenly pressed with a UA label rather than the correct Liberty label making this the holy grail of Stranglers Irish Pressings and one of their rarest ever singles. The story goes that 50 were pressed (all Irish pressing were apparently pressed in batches of 50, if the record sold well more were pressed if it didn't well that was it) and sent to a few Record Shops before EMI realised their mistake and recalled the batch and replaced them with the Liberty version but not before some had been sold. How true that is I don't know but I do know the UA version is rarer than rocking horse sh*t!, the British version of 7'' singles were also sold in Ireland and, as they had pic covers and were much better quality pressings they were of more interest to the record buying public at the time.
This record I purchased 2nd hand in Dublin many Years ago, it isn't in great condition, please see pics but I'm sure the hard core collectors will not be playing it!
Postage & Packing is £3 within Ireland or £5 Elsewhere for standard Airmail post, if you require International signed for/Registered Post please let me know as it will be £5 extra.
