THE STRANGLERS - PEACHES - ORIGINAL UK 'BLACKMAIL' SLEEVE
THE STRANGLERS - PEACHES - ORIGINAL UK 'BLACKMAIL' SLEEVE. An absolutely massive Stranglers rarity with this exceptionally scarce original 1977 UK 'blackmail' withdrawn sleeve of Peaches c/w Go Buddy Go. The sleeve is in remarkable archive condition showing virtually no wear. A wonderful addition to any collection. During the printing, some contamination occurred during the process resulting in unintended 'stripes' on the reverse left paper tab. This copy passed through inspection with the error. This copy then if one of the very few that was not destroyed when the band rejected the design, who didn't approve of either the “Blackmail” lettering design, or the band picture. No record.
