Tracklisting & More Information

‘Peaches’ ‘blackmail’ sleeve (UK)

The original withdrawn picture sleeve for the release of the band’s second single is a legendary rarity. The band pulled its release due to the similarity between the blackmail style lettering and that used by the Sex Pistols. Their record company UA destroyed the vast majority but a few escaped the furnaces and leaked out. It is uncertain how many actually survived, estimates of around 50 copies seem accurate. Some radio promos were sent out in the ‘blackmail sleeve. The sleeve was bootlegged in the early/mid 2000’s, with a repress of the promo, and these appeared on either clear or black vinyl. Sadly these bootlegs fooled some unsuspecting collectors who paid large sums for them. To scupper the bootleggers, the ‘blackmail’ sleeve was given an official re-release, with a green vinyl single, for Record Store Day in 2014.
