From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. This is the limited-edition, first release that includes a full poster sleeve. This song was their second U.K. single, which went top 10 there. In the U.S., it was released after the less-but-still-wonderful "In A Big Country." An interesting factoid here is the magnificent B side, which was one of the two songs the group demoed originally for Virgin Records in 1981. It was never released on vinyl, except for this release, but it remains one of the the favorites of Big Country fans. The song was also left off the group's debut LP, "The Crossing," not appearing on an album in the U.S. until the DVD of "Crossing" came out in 1990. And here's yet one more bit of trivia: In the beginning, the group actually called itself "Angle Park!" Note: This beautiful 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless!
