Sweet picks/pics, Mr. Escape (Great) - and welcome to the forum. Nice to finally see the sleeve of that CROM 7" - one of the finest FWOFHM singles for sure. HEAD FORCE = another absolute TOP Swedish rarity I don't know many copies of.

..and the HOTCHKISS sleeve was interesting - totally different from the one on that French 7"-site discussed here before.

...and the SABRE-cover was neat. Same band as the ones who did an LP?

NO sorry, I know it is on some site as the same band. But it is not

I talked to both bands and they are differant.

SABRE 7" Single

Post by TheGreatEscape »

SABRE is:

Peter Pollack - Drums, Vocals
Paul Constantinescu - Bass, Vocals
Eric Reeves - Lead Vocals
Pat Hayes - Guitar, Vocals
Rick Constantinescu - Guitar, Vocals

But I heard rumours that these are not their real names ... what do you know about this, John?

There was a bunch of 7" without sleeves on the market 8-9 years ago, I'm not sure but I think only a small amount of the 7"s came with Original sleeve (which is made from thin cardboard).



HEAD FORCE

I got my copy 5-6 years ago on eBay; it came from a Swedish seller and it was somewhere between 10 and 20 US $$ (beside me, there was only one other maniac bidding for this ... actually, at this time, I didn't know the 7" but I saw it's on PLATINA and I was and still am really impressed of Sacrifice, so I gave HF a try).


HOTCHKISS

According to Fils Du Metal (who sold me this single years ago and he still regrets it), this Hotchkiss came with the Promo-Only insert (it's not a cover, only a 1-sided insert).

Escape- very cool pics, thanks for posting them! You got the Scratch single from Jim Cranford last year, correct? I remember watching that auction and seeing it quickly drift out of my price range :( I've never seen most of the other items you posted, interesting stuff!

HOTCHKISS

So here I have news from the French maniacs and our all well known biggest collector in the world here in Germany...

I had it in hands with a real thick cardboard cover and the design that you find on the French 45ers page. So the one with the copy sleeve here is a second edition, I will take it next time from you to copy so my copy does not look so naked. According to the French collector it is possible to get copies with original cardboard cover so let's hunt...
This is the original sleeve definitely

As an addition: There is still an ultrarare compilation from 1984 with HOTCHKISS. When I get it I post it here...

Great nwobhm but that Sinner 7" is not really that good at all.What do you think of it.I know the sleeve makes it a good presentation but the music ain't rough and ready.
I thought the A side was decent, the flip is routine cracp rock. I'm selling this along with Juno's Claw & Beg To Differ on ebay soon, need more equipment.
