QUEEN - HAMMER TO FALL & TEAR IT UP 7" SINGLE - WITH RARE LIVE RECALLED SLEEVE
This is a rare recalled copy. I also have the bootleg version available for sale.
Good condition, but shows signs of age and wear on the sleev edges.
QUEEN 4
1. Hammer To Fall
2. Tear It Up
It was always falsely reported that this sleeve was withdrawn at the request of Brian May, however it turns out not to be the case!
Brian stated on his own website in early 2007 in response to a letter asking why he requested the withdrawal of this sleeve that in fact he didn't request the sleeve be withdrawn - he actually preferred it but the record company felt that the sleeve was misleading and that the public would believe the song to be a live recording so the sleeve was withdrawn at the request of EMI.
Woolworths failed to receive the recall notice and they continued to sell the withdrawn sleeve for up to 5 days before their stocks ran out.
The sleeve has been counterfeited over the years and most are easy to spot as the vinyls on the bootlegs are usually coloured. Usually the black vinyl counterfeits have the word cassette mis-spelt on the back with just one 's'
Needless to say, this is NOT a counterfeit!
