Tuune! Especially this one I’ve got with the holographic sticker.
A pre release 12” vinyl record of the Baby Ford classic Oochy Koochy FU Baby Yeah Yeah. The hand written label says it is ‘out in two weeks (ish)’, and has a holographic Magneto sticker on. The track was released on Rhythm King with Trans Global Records and Flame Records and their logos are on the black and white sleeve. It’s in the Kat Five record collection 😺
