still have, turn on, bought NEW in 1997, it was offical too, i knew the guy in the shop well, he showed me the invoice from the reptile house, it was a choice of that or the roadkil. then all the tours that they played in the uk from 1997 to present, distance over time ripped, faded and now mounted in a long clip frame to show the date thingy on the back( never did find out where 'strand' was)

I used to have the head/star 1984 Merciful Release one. Loved the thing and it got some bloody wear !

I know it got well tatty and faded but really can't think I'd ever have thrown it out (obviously!) - can't find it though which annoys me somewhat.

Currently thinking of buying a couple again.....

would what they worth?
I'm interested in Roadkill if it's size M or L and not too tatty. I have a couple spare in various size and condition. I'll try and get my finger out and post a list of possible trades and wishes soon.

Has anyone ever seen or had one of the very earliest head and star logo shirts as worn by Alan Vega?

I would be happy to see a very good photo of the logo.

Pretty sure they had them back in the store recently, but they seem to have vanished now

I've got an original MR head/star from 83 or 84.

Usually worn with the sleeves ragged off, over a second, white t-shirt

Always assumed that one was official.
It was official, I bought mine in 1985 at a gig.

There were 2 versions I think. One had the MR head and star, the earlier ones didn't. I think, it's a long time go now...

Edit: Christ, why am I replying to threads that are more than a decade old and to which I replied more than a decade ago!

Did anybody ever do a picture list of all the official shirts. It would be a pretty massive venture I know!

Not just 81-85 though, but a good place to start.

Ta. Ah of course! I'd forgotten. A great collection. I have only about 20 including a few bootlegs. I suppose my rarest one is the Andy Warhol one that nobody ever recognises as a Sisters one let along an official one! :wink:
