How much did you pay for your Witchfinder General "Burning a sinner" 7" (original on hmr, not the old metal bootleg) ?

I guess price was 1£ when it was released in 1981

I paid $110 for an original copy on E-Bay a couple of years ago. Since then, I've seen only one other for sale, but without the sleeve. I've seen several bootlegs of it for sale, but I don't really care about those.

I first bought a mint copy without sleeve for 15$, then found a copy with sleeve in mint conditions but vinyl with lot of background noise for 60$, I combined both to get a wonderful copy

it usually sells for 110 - 150 $, it shows up for sale once or twice a year on ebay.

I have an original copy of this 7", but without the sleeve. Can you tell me why this often comes without the sleeve?

Because the record company at the time(Heavy Metal Records) were too cheap to purchase sleeves for all the records, so only a portion came with the prized sleeve.
They could mine more money from the band if they cheaped out on the packaging....aaagggghhh

That's brutal. Arrrgh is right. - Well I'm sure you're making up for it now eh.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the information mate!

Matthew Hopkins will soon have his revenge! Stay tuned

Burning a sinner 7" is not that difficult to locate.Not like some of the really obscure NWOBHM singles.I have had 5 copies with sleeves in the past 7 years.The one thing you need to make sure of is that your willing to pay when it comes up for auction.This is the best NWOBHM single so why not bid your life for it.
I'll be slamming a big bid on the next copy that shows up on Egay just in case I eventually make a big family with kids.I want them to all have copies.

Oh and Quietus,I want my copy back from you.

......Oh I loved you but lost you.....you were so untrue.....
