Beautiful blue issue copy of this all-time classic, ten times rarer than the demo

THE DALTON BOYS – I'VE BEEN CHEATED – VIP ISSUE VG++ 50 SOLD
REDUCED – BARGAIN!
This is super rare as a stock copy. The only reason I'm doing it cheap is because it looks a bit scruffy, the VIP logo has been written over with marker pen and it has some ring wear. The vinyl looks VG++ but trust me when I say it plays EX, super-loud and sounds brilliant. This has `Something's Bothering You' on the B side.
