Description
This is a mega rare and great NEW WAVE OF BRITISH HEAVY METAL single by the U.K. band / artist SEAN WRIGHT from 1978, this will also appeal to PUNK collectors !!!.
Now here is the story, these are the same 2 songs that came out 4 years later under the name of INTERNATIONAL HEROES on the HEAVY LEATHER RECORDS, Sean Wright was the main man behind both, and obviously with the NWOBHM movement doing well in 1982, decided to re-release the single under a different name, but it is the same 2 songs !!!, this is so rare, it is not even mentioned in the N.W.O.B.H.M. ENCYCLOPEDIA, but Sean name is mentioned as Ricci Wright !!. The single came out on the very private ELLIE JAY RECORDS, catalogue number EJSP 8624. This is a great, and very rare NEW WAVE OF BRITISH HEAVY METAL single, and is ORIGINAL !!!.
The songs are: STRANGE SITUATION / SILENT DREAMS (same 2 songs that are on the INTERNATIONAL HEROES single).
This copy also comes with the MEGA RARE home made FOLD OVER picture sleeve, and The condition of the SLEEVE IS EX++, VINYL is M-. This could be your only chance to get this rare single. There is a LOW reserve on this rare NWOBHM single. I will only accept payment through PAYPAL, or cash in a registered letter.

Nice one - my past has finally caught up with me. You may alos be interested to know that I am now and award-winning bestselling international author. There were 500 copies of Strange Situation pressed back in 1978, only about 50 with the picture sleeve. John Peel played it and so too did Kid Jenson on Radio 1. My band, International Heroes, was named after a Kim Fowley song, recorded by the British Lions (once Mott the Hoople without ian Hunter). Fowley - a legend from Hollywood - ended up managing International Heroes and in 1986 I signed a songwriting publishing deal with Peer-Sothern, Denmark St, London (Tin Pan Alley. The Strange Situation record was recoed at Spaceward Studios in Cambridge at the same time (a few months I think) that the Undertones did their first album, Gary Numan, and others of that punk/New wave of Brit HM. Here's little known fact: Marillion supported the Heroes on a British Tour. The single was recorded on the day that Keith Moon of the Who died. If you listen carefully, you'll hear the drummer on Strange Situation paying a kind of Moon-like homage to the great man." Thanks Sean !!!
