A couple of rather interesting documents relating to the first release by The Vaselines in May 1987 on the Scottish record label, 53rd&3rd. Label founded in 1985 by Stephen Pastel, Sandy McLean and David Keegan.
These are scans of the press releases that came with test pressings of their debut single "Son of a Gun" -though at that time it was still known as "Straight of Yr Girlfriends Stomach". For some unknown reason the title was changed before the actual release date of the 14th August, 1987.
Interesting to note that the Vaselines twosome, Frances and Eugene, are being sold as "fun lovin', normal, healthy, fuck-obsessed adolescents".
Artwork is by Annabel Wright (Aggi) of The Pastels.
