Freebee 1 Record features the same 2 tracks on each side. No sleeve. This is a very Limited pressing given out August 24th 1982 at Dingwalls, London a music venue in Camden Town, London. "It was recorded in one take, August 8th 1982. The Cannibals are a British rock band formed in 1976 by Mike Spenser, formerly of The Count Bishops. Distributed By Backs (Norwich) and Cartel. Snot 1 Record was released under the moniker "Five Young Cannibals" and was (jokingly) released on London'sHit Records (really Hit Records). In 1986 one of the biggest pop bands in UK were "The Fine Young Cannibals" and were heavily exposed in the press. Mike Spenser was very annoyed at this band taking a name closely associated with his own and this release was intended to upset and annoy both "The Fine Young Cannibals" - and their label "London Records" (hence the play on the label name).
