EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL AUSTRALIA 33 RPM 7" RED / MARBLED VINYL  RELEASE  1981 IN ORIGINAL  PAPER SLEEVE - HAND STAMPED WITH SUNNYBOYS LOGO.

THIS IS AN EVEN RARER RECORD THAN OTHER SIMILAR VERSIONS : 

- IT HAS NOTHING, OTHER THAN ETCHINGS, ON THE LABEL AREA

- ETCHINGS INCLUDE A HAND-ETCHED SMILEY FACE ON SIDE 1, AS WELL AS THE SUN LOGO  

- THERE IS NOTHING PRINTED ON THE SLEEVE

- IT IS NOT PLAIN RED

The Sunnyboys released their own independent EP which was given away at gigs,in 1981 just after their "Happy Man" release, and only a small number were pressed. (The EP was a give-away at the band's first birthday show at Sydney's Trade Union Club, August 1981.)

The EP is a good quality live recording.

Each cover was individually stamped with the Sunnyboys "Sun" logo
