These 7" singles have NO MUSICAL VALUE AT ALL! They will not play due to the custom made heavy plastic sleeve which has leeched into the vinyl causing terrible damage to the records on all 4 sides.
After some research it appears that Flying Nun became aware of this problem and these songs were also released on a 12", which I haven't found here yet.
So this offering is for memorabilia purposes only, there is no musical value in a record that does not play!

New Zealand release coinciding with their NZ Tour
Custom heavy clear plastic cover is in very good condition, stitched inner vinyl separation sheet is completely intact - all stitching is undamaged.
To prevent further deterioration of the vinyl, they are now in nice anti-static sleeves and NOT inside the cover - the cover is a REALLY tight fit anyway.
Both vinyl are in poor condition, they have little patterned dots all over the vinyl - these dots follow the patterns on the cover. The separation sheet of vinyl has these dots all over it and because the cover is so tight, it looks as though these dots have leeched easily onto the vinyl of the records. At first I was extremely worried about even attempting to play them but as the records are completely flat, not warped, curiosity got the better of me and I test played one record briefly ...
I played just a couple of seconds of Side 001a - sure you can hear the music but the surface noise is just horrible! High level noise which almost buries the music. So these are playable but who would want to listen!
Tracks: Duane Eddy, Born In The Wrong Time, Neck Of The Woods, Boat With No Ocean
