My Danish is not perfect, but here's a decent translation:

"To the press:

Hunting for the parrot [not quite sure what they mean by this] - in this case a record contract, which also preferably includes the great abroad, the band Randy have chosen to present their swinging, melodic rock on this single you now have in your hand.

The band has several years of (good!) live experience - even in concert the trio is capable of filling the listener with true rock'n'roll joy.

The members of Randy are:

Jørgen Jensen - guitar/vocals
Brian Andersen - bass/vocals
Torben Pape - drums/vocals"

Thanx for the translation my friend.

Is your Randy 7" autographed? A friend of mine who was tapetrading with me found all these danish bands and bought the last copies with most of them autographed by a band member.
That was me.
Kenneth?

Yep.

And you ? Sorry can't always remember such old trades

It's a variation of the danish saying "To shoot the parrot" which means to become well off financially

Thanks!

Who would dare call Randy a "melodic rock" band nowadays?

Damn, I need to find myself a copy of that single.

Not all that rare, but I thought these were neat pics:

Grrrrreat pictures, Alan!! You gotta love WFG. One of the finest NWOBHM bands out there.

Two more pics, I promised Patrik I'd post these awhile back but then forgot

blue = Exidus 'reaper'
orange = Sabotage 'hell raiser'
yellow = Caution 'want me bad'
red = Axxe 'through the night'

That is some killer pictures Alan!!
I have never seen the AXXE single for sale at all. Any info on if the PS was a limited thing only for some of the singles? I've searched for this single a long time without any luck.

And I LOVE that Destroyer single! GREAT stuff.

Yes, DESTROYER and AXXE, hand'em over.

Thanks, glad y'all like the pix

I bought my first WFG LP in summer of 93, and I just got the final piece of the puzzle last month, so those 2 pics took 8 years to assemble.

Patrik- TMK only a few copies of Axxe have shown up w/ pic sleeves, and it seems hard to find even without a pic sleeve. In 4 years of searching I've come across 2 copies, and I bought 'em both

The other copy is in very poor condition; I would not even play it on a decent turntable for fear of damaging the needle. Lots of scratches causing multiple skips & the labels are stained, The copy in the pic has some marks on it but it plays fine, so I just need to find a pic sleeve for it

Killer pics Alan! I'll try to post some soon, just need to have a few items delivered first.

One of my favorites. Glad I caught this one on ebay. First time I've ever seen it during my 8 years of Sanctuary/Nevermore collecting
