New Breed 12" ?

[sithean]

Hello everyone!

Last week I was very disappointed to find I'd missed an ebay auction for a testpressing of the 'New Breed' 12"

I remember reading years ago that its release was planned, but it never surfaced and later 'Purple Haze' was released as a 7" instead. Until last week I had no idea that actual vinyl versions of the 12" existed!!

Can anyone give me any more information about it? I believe the track listing was 'New Breed/ Purple Haze/ Hate Fire Blood' and the testpressing sold was a Noise UK pressing. Were there also German and or USA pressings? Were any pressed as promos with full labels and pic sleeves? How many copies exist?

And if anyone has one and may be willing to sell/trade it please contact me at [e-mail]

Thanks lots!!

Only thing I know about it is it's brief mention on the Punishment for Decadence review I sent in a while back:

www.designvortex.com/coroner/interviews/kerrang_1988.htm

No mention of "Hate..." being on there.

And I'll agree, that DOES suck to have missed that Did you do a screen capture of the cover of it or anything from the auction? I don't even know what the sleeve looks like or anything.

It was just a handwritten white label with a plain inner sleeve and no outer sleeve.

catalogue number was 12 NUK 119

The seller listed the first two tracks but could not identify the third.
I remember it being planned to be Hate Fire Blood from an article in (probably) Metal Forces when it was being mooted. I thought that it was supposed to have come out before the 'Punishment' lp before being cancelled. Unfortunately I don't still have the mags to confirm exactly where I read that.

That Kerrang article lists the 12" as being 'current' though, so perhaps there were promo copies after all... I hope!
