A very rare gig give-away single from the Thought Criminals "last" show at Chequers. It was never officially available commercially, but very limited copies found their way into some record shops - I bought this copy from Waterfront Records. Land of the Living Room is only available in this live version, but the original studio recording of Oceania can be found on their first LP, Speed Madness & Flying Saucers. These are great quality 2JJ "live to air" recordings that capture the band in excellent form.

Condition: Cardboard cover and record are in very good condition – vinyl has a couple of marks that don’t affect playing - please check the photos.


I am selling my cherished 7" punk record collection, which has been in safe storage for a couple of decades. Overall, the condition of my records is excellent – no scratches, rarely played and good covers. If a record has any condition issues, I will mention that – and I have a full refund policy if I have missed something. I have experience posting records – I know how to pack vinyl safely, so you will receive your records in good condition.


I am happy to combine purchases - please wait for my combined invoice if you buy more than one of my listings - you will save a considerable amount of postage.
