Description
Very cool, hard-edged one-shot punk 45 on Bathroom Floor / Ellie Jay Records (BFR 001 / EJSP 9441) owned by me since release and, I'm embarrassed to say, only played 3 or 4 times. Tracks are 'Operation Julie' (named after a major UK drug bust, see below) and 'Switch cleaner'.
The sleeve proudly proclaims "This record is dedicated to everyone who wants to keep Britain Psychedelic!

Operation Julie was a UK police investigation into the production of LSD by two drug rings during the mid-1970s. The operation, involving 11 police forces over a 2 1?2-year period, resulted in the break-up of one of the largest LSD manufacturing operations in the world. It culminated in 1977 with enough LSD to make 6.5 million ‘tabs’ (with a street value of £6.5M) being seized, 120 people arrested in the UK and France and over £800,000 discovered in Swiss bank accounts.
