Les Raving Sounds 4 track 7" EP single. "Empty Bottles" (Mike Metoff) and "Treat Her Right" (Metoff), flip side has "Earth Boy Dream of Angle" (Mike Hudson of the Pagans) and "Angela" (Hudson & Metoff). Record is new old stock, unplayed in M- condition. Mike Hudson was with the Pagans, of corse. Terminal records 4. The great Cleveland label that put out such great records as the Cleveland Confidential EP, Defniks 51% single, and the Broncs "Tele-K-Killing" single.....

Anyway this has the original sleeve made out of newspapers from the Cleveland Area at that time. These were assembled as needed, and the single sold so poorly many copies do not have sleeves. These sleeves were handmade at the time, and are usually trashed or missing, as they are a single sheet of newspaper. This sleeve is VG+. A few minor creases on the back part that was folded over but not glued down all the way. Yellowing on the newspaper sleeve.

Please note the printing on the labels is perfectly fine, the flash from my unprofessional camera skills reflected weird. I used the flash to attempt to capture the details better.

From Hudson's book "Diary of a punk" ..."Mike and I did a number of primitive recordings we would release in 1981 as an EP under the name Les Raving Sounds. Nick Knox (electric eels & The Cramps) played drums on some of that, and my sister Linda, who would later be the drummer of the Easter Monkeys, did the rest." (Pg 84) Lost and often overlooked and forgotten classic post art punk with legendary musicians from the Cleveland area.

Record new old stock, unplayed Excellent near mint shape. News paper sleeve VG to VG+ shape, old and fragile not many of these survived. Please note these sleeves were handmade, so it’s tough to grade them as you would a normal factory made sleeve. It is very thin single sheet cut out of newspaper, all worth repeating as I’m sure by the very nature of this there is no such thing as a traditional mint or near mint sleeve.

Postage will be media mail. I use hard cardboard boxes designed to mail records, with plastic stiffners for added support. Packages mailed next business day at the latest, 99% of the time. Please consider having the package delivered where someone will be available to receive it. US addresses ONLY please. Any questions please ask.
