Broken Flag distribution outside the UK

How did Broken Flag tapes actually reach continental buyers in the mid-80s? Mine all have German postal marks but the label never listed a distributor. Mail-order chains were wilder than the discographies admit.

Have you compared it against the 1986 Japanese promo cut? Allegedly only 30 copies pressed.

Frank, is the second recording the one with the Walther microphone? If so this is a small sensation.

Exactly that. I cross-checked the provenance in February. More in part two.

I would call reel dubs collectible if the provenance is solid. Otherwise they are just copies.
