Brief:
The cover art shows the band's mascot, Eddie having just murdered the Prime Minister of the time, Margaret Thatcher. This image, though intended as a lighthearted play on her nickname as the "Iron Lady", managed to cause a minor stir in local newspapers (though this was nothing compared with the reaction to one of their future albums). On most copies of the original single, Thatcher's eyes were covered by a black box because the image was considered offensive. Copies without this box are extremely rare, however are not to be confused with The First Ten Years 12" rerelease, which no longer features the black box.
Condition: Record is in mint condition, however back of sleeve there is minor wear (see photo)
Postage: Special Delivery (Next Day) = £4.95 and not £4.00 as shown above (as per Royal Mail charges)/ UK only

Happy Bidding :-)
