Hello collectors, 

Up for sale is the rather unique US radio promo only 12in of “Swamp Thing”, by The Chameleons, on Geffen Records, 1986. It was sent out to promote the forthcoming album “Strange Times”, which was the first proper release to promote the band in the United States.

The cover is in excellent shape, with scarcely any wear and a radio station library filing tag on front. The vinyl is in excellent to near mint shape and sounds absolutely amazing. The record is stored in an anti-static audiophile inner sleeve. 

This single made a rare appearance recently, as it was featured in an episode in the second season of Hardy Boys, now streaming on Hulu :)

This is part of a private collection, many items of which will be listed now and in the coming days. I will combine shipping, media mail(US bidders + 0.50 ea additional album).

Happy bidding!
