Very Odd!!! I own a copy of this very same 45 however mine is not nearly as pretty looking. It has standard lettering and was given away at a gig decades ago.

I've got 2 like this and a white label re-released one. Didn't realise there was an ugly version as well!

I sent away for my white label one. Cost about £2.50 at the time I think. Got 2 red label ones. Dave Parsons and Dave Treganna kindly donated one each to me when I met them.

Those Lurkers flexi's came with Aint Got A Clue. The Gold one came with the original 1st isuue and the clear one with the re-release.

You sound worse than me lol. My trick,when an album had a freebie single (or poster) inside was to buy it, go out the shop,take the selofane off,remove the freebie,give it to a friend to look after,go back in the shop and complain I had no freebie and get another one. Virgin and HMV were the constant victims.

I still got the sham "Fanx" poster from thats life inside the sleeve, thought it was too crap to put up, nearly cried 1st time i heard that album cos loved live versions, made up for it a bit with later releases of family life which i thinbk is sham at their best, 12 with hersham boys Lp was embarrassing. cheers Gonk,
