Hi, Phil. Y’know .. I think ‘Sometimes’ would have made an excellent U.K. standard release. I’d have released it as their 2nd single. Grip > Sometimes > Peaches > Something Better Change 👍🐀👍

Hi Ken nice item! I have this great pressing yes the sleeve is great and yep 45rpm I love the Japanese pressings! I got mine a long long time ago! European female was a nightmare to get! 👍

Hi, Uan. Yes, EF was a tough one to get. Took me a looooong time to track one down 👍🐀👍

That’s a pretty special find. Anti static sleeves ? I have a 10” “Gris” from the Newcastle band Zoviet France that came with a sandpaper cover ! I bought 2 copies, being a sucker for zany packaging, and surgically removed the vinyl from the abrasive cover so I could hear ad clean a version of their brand of aural chaos. Cheers and have a good weekend everyone.

Cheers! Sandpaper cover?!?! Crikey! 😧 You definitely did the right thing by buying two copies. Have a great weekend 👍🐀👍
