SUBHUMANS - THE DAY THE COUNTRY DIED

Original very first pressing from UK on Spiderleg Records (SDL 9)

A monumental cornerstone of 1980s anarcho-punk, this original January 1983 UK first pressing of Subhumans' seminal debut album, The Day the Country Died (Spiderleg Records – SDL 9), is an absolute essential for hardcore punk collectors. Released on Flux of Pink Indians' legendary Spiderleg imprint before the band launched Bluurg Records later that year, this album packs 16 scorching, hyper-fast tracks recorded in just five days at Pickwick Studios. Frontman Dick Lucas delivers biting political commentary, anti-war critiques, and social anxiety across immortal anthems like "Mickey Mouse Is Dead," "Subvert City," and "Big Brother." Complete with its iconic Nick Lant gatefold sleeve featuring inner lyrics and artwork, this original pressing stands as one of the definitive British punk masterpieces of the era!

1983 UK import/release by Spiderleg Records, catalog # SDL 9.  Original first pressing from January 1983 by Spiderleg (would switch to band's own Bluurg Records under catalog XLP 1 a bit later in 1983).  Includes the "No More Than £3.25" printed on the front cover (bottom right) of gatefold sleeve.

Sleeve grades VG+.  No real deficiencies/issues, just a little wear at corners/edges.  Includes generic white inner sleeve.

Vinyl grades VG+.  Play tests perfect with no issues/deficiencies.  Vinyl surface is super clean with just a couple light surface marks/hairlines visible under magnification.
