Originally released in 1980 by the French label Sordide Sentimental as a France-only single release, this is the VERY FIRST bootleg which is still rare as the original copy.  The original vinyl is valued at around 6 or 7 times the price of this 1st bootleg.  Made in the 1980s, this reproduction is still impossibly rare and almost as scarce as the OG.

Condition is very close to mint. The outside has no wear see detailed photographs, grades Nm as a little of the internal glued single holder grease paper (about 1cm) is loose and the vinyl is as new, I noticed under Halogen that it has a tiny pressing bubble which is shown in last photo, this does not effect play.
