1984, 7" (p/c, 45 rpm)
UK, Aeroplane Records: AR7
Limited to 279 copies
From http://www.esophagus.com/organum/:
Fold-out black & white cover featuring two W.W.II American fighters with record title and artists written in a 'cuboid' text style. Sleeve flap features the words "<< Even anti-art is art & that is why we reject it >>". Labels are white on blue with one side featuring a 17th century woodcut image of volcanic fire and smoke with the other side featuring bold white text on blue with track titles and the words 'TNB/ORGANUM' inverted. Standard white 7" bag stapled into fold-out sleeve. 250 copies were ordered, however the pressing plant accidentally exceeded that amount.

David Tibet, writing in Sounds (December 1st, 1984) made this his 'single of the week' and wrote:
"The voice of the new underground of the avant-garde, which means that not only is it un-commercial, but there is not a hope in hell of being able to dance to it. Involved in this is someone whom our own Winston Smith once discussed as a 'boring bastard,' which means that it doesn't sound like Joy Division. A true classic."
Condition:
Vinyl: No visible markings, both sides play through with no clicks or other surface noise, only a very tiny bit of crackle on the (silent) runout grooves.
Sleeve: Small price sticker mark, very slight yellowing to the edges of the front cover, otherwise mint
This has been kept in a pvc sleeve since I bought it new and only played a handful of times on a high quality turntable (Michell GyroDek)
As this is now over 20 years old I think you are unlikely to find a better copy.
