The Stranglers - ‘Nuclear Device’ - Australian Pressing 🇦🇺

[@chrisgraham7053]

Belting songs - The Raven is such a great album!

Hi, Chris! I totally agree.

[@garybridge-ku7bf]

Hi Ken, hope you had a good holiday, I really like those lable, very striking. I first saw them on a Aussie Black and white. On cost of the records it is getting crazy, Giants just sold for £500, I just bought Mint (Black) A&M Black and White for £130, which I thought was a fair price. Anyway nice to see you back and look forward to you next post.

[@NoMoreHeroesPunkPostPunk]

Thanks, Gary! Holiday was good (first time paddle boarding). Definitely a good price for your Black and White 👍 Take care, Gary; it’s time for my early afternoon coffee 😁

I.have a Nm Jap promo copy of Black and White and similar condition Jap standard release. Promo was £112 eBay auction and standard was £45 eBay auction. Bought from different sellers a lovely little job lot for a collector. Got them 3 years ago All complete with Obi's and inserts and inner sleeves.👍

A nice pick up from Pete. He has really great records, I usually catch him a couple times a year at record fairs here in Aus.

[@NoMoreHeroesPunkPostPunk]

Absolutely! I picked-up 4 x Stranglers Singles in this batch. I can’t wait to show the other 3.

I woke up with Nuclear Device playing in my head at 5 am today, goodness knows why 😅 Hope you had a great holiday 😊

[@NoMoreHeroesPunkPostPunk]

Hiya, Sharon! Good to hear from you .. and what better way to wake up. Holiday was good. I am now a paddle board king (not) 😄

Had a chance of getting this ages ago! But financially had to let it go! Great that you've got a copy! A strange release! Didn't know why it was put out a mystery! But phew costly when I tried to get one! Hope you enjoyed your break glad your back! 😂 biggest expenditure was JJ Girl from the snow country and got him to sign it! And he gave me an interrogation of where I'd got it from 😂 get better soon! 🚽🧻

[@NoMoreHeroesPunkPostPunk]

Hiya, Ian. Great to hear from you. Yup, definitely a strange release / pairing. The break was good .. I am now a Master (not) of Paddleboarding 😂 Really happy to hear you got JJ to sign ‘GFTSC’. It doesn’t surprise me JJ interrogated you a little bit 😁 Take care, Ian 👍🐀👍

U said it all bro ,, factions within factions

[@eugenemclemmont4045]

Still got the Orange cover British version, thought you was gonna play the bloody thing at least. Yellowcake on the b side. Got dont bring Harry EP with some live tracks , a while since i seen it.

[@NoMoreHeroesPunkPostPunk]

Hi, Eugene. I would love to play the bloody thing, but I haven’t got a turntable here at work 😁

[@stewartyboy]

I love the mental accounting that rationalises 450 AUD to 225 USD. Hell, by the time you get to pounds it's practically free! ;--) You are a role model to us all sir.

[@NoMoreHeroesPunkPostPunk]

Thank you, Stewart! I wish the bug*ers ‘were’ free 😄

[@richardfinlayson1524]

festival and EMI are or were the two main record companies in oz most records were pressed by one or the other, but that seems to be an EMI pressing so i dont know, i always thought liberty and UA were connected anyway.

[@NoMoreHeroesPunkPostPunk]

Liberty/EMI bought-out UA way back when. It’s a minefield when we start to talk about labels in different territories. Festival were an offshoot of Liberty/EMI in Oz. I think I need a lie down 😁

[@garyhitchcock3828]

That's a rare find.The original Nuclear device single's B-side was Yellow Cake UF? Interesting instrumental track played backwards 😂..I remember Don't bring Harry was released as an E.P with a live version of JJ Burnel's solo track 'Crabs' & Hugh Cornwell& Robert Williams 'Wired'

[@NoMoreHeroesPunkPostPunk]

@garyhitchcock3828 Cheers, Gary. If you spin ‘Yellowcake UF6’ the right way round .. it’s actually a song they did called ‘Social Secs’ (without Hugh’s vocals). The unfettered ‘Social Secs’ can be found on the ‘Decade’ compilation album, renamed ‘Wasted Life’.

[@garyhitchcock3828]

@NoMoreHeroesPunkPostPunk Wow I actually never new that? Cheers 👌

[@foppishdilletaunt9911]

What do you know - a bit of Vinyl Porn, some microeconomic planning advice, a dash of theology and a notification of an overactive peristalsis ! Cheers, welcome back, feel better and don’t forget Loo Rolls !

[@NoMoreHeroesPunkPostPunk]

Thank you, Foppish! The loo rolls are stored in the beer chiller, as I write this 🤣 Great to hear from you 👍🍻🐀🍻👍

[@JaymeSplendid]

Come on now, we record collectors don't think about tomorrow and what yesterday's money might to effect it when we see that ONE fucking LP or 7" that just lights up all of your dopamine when you see it listed.

[@NoMoreHeroesPunkPostPunk]

Jayme, remember I was playing both angel and devil’s advocate .. I’ve done all scenarios .. bought when I could afford it .. and bought when I absolutely couldn’t afford it. Dopamine is such a lovely feeling .. plus we survive .. if the wolves don’t come knocking.
