This is the very collectable 7-inch, 45 rpm Raw Deal single "In The Mood" c/w "Out Of My Head" on (British) White Witch WIT 701, issued during 1981. It is being sold on behalf of the person who organised the recording session, and who was responsible for issuing the Demon Pact single on Slime.
Raw Deal was a four-piece band from the Orpington and Bromley area of Kent, England (on the edge of South-East London), and played raw but accessible rock at the forefront of music at that time. They are considered by some to be part of the "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" - NWOBHM. These two sides were engineered by the NWOBHM Demon Pact lead guitarist Richard Dickerson, and were recorded in the same studio used by Demon Pact.
The record is original and brand new, and thus un-played. It is not a pirate, bootleg, copy or anything else. It is supplied exactly as it came from the manufacturer's pressing plant (Lyntone in North London) in 1981 - in a plain white sleeve. It is the only legal release of Raw Deal material, apart from the track on the much sought-after compilation "Kent Rocks" LP from the same period.
This band called Raw Deal is not to be confused with other bands of the same name (Raw Deal was an obvious, and thus popular, choice of name by various Pop & Rock bands).
