A very rare and obscure UK Punk / Post Punk release on the bands own "EE" label. This 4-piece (then a 5-piece later on) came from a small village out side of Great Yarmouth called 'Gorleston-On-Sea'. This was their only vinyl release apart from a 7-Track cassette. No picture sleeve was originally issued but one member of the band did make about 10 copies up for promotional use only. One of these have recently surfaced and is shown above. When the band were asked about this sleeve, they all denied knowledge of it until the scan of the sleeve was shown to all members. The jolted one of the band members memory and remembered doing it. Only one known copy has surfaced so far but there is another 9 copies out there some where....so happy hunting!!!
