THE EXPLOITED - TROOPS OF TOMORROW - ORIGINAL 1982 ITALLIAN IMPORT - "MEGA RARE" VINYL ALBUM

Fantastic second studio album from one of the most menacing and dangerous punk band's of all time.

The Exploited just didn't care, in true punk style they crashed from late 70's punk rock into the national consciousness, when they made a storming appearance on 'top of the pops' performing Dead Cities.

They had the Edinburgh attitude in spades, led by Wattie Buchan an ex squaddie who had been booted out of the Army for wearing punk clothes, backed up by Big John Duncan a giant of a man on guitar they just didn't compromise for anyone.!

With their blunt and in your face punk, they got called many things in the press but didn't care and just kept on going, many of the punk bands that followed owed them a great debt, for me though they never sounded better than the solid punk sound they achieved on troops it's nothing short of a punk rock masterpiece.

This import version of their greatest album is extremely hard to find, rare in this condition and even more rare with the picture inner bag.

The record has been kept separate from the inner in a plain paper bag which has kept the inner near mint and free from any seam splits.

Unlike the UK version the inner is not thick card but a medium paper so finding an undamaged one is a real bonus this came from a private punk collection I bought recently, it's been stored for a few years now but the album sleeve is still in good condition, it's just got one very slight ring wear mark plus some superficial storage wear (see photos).

The vinyl has been played but it remains in excellent condition for its age with the odd surface hairline that shouldn't affect play.

A very very rare and hard to find must have import album for any serious Punk rock / Exploited collector.

Grab it while you have the chance

See photos for close up condition, you will receive what you see in the photo's.
