    Mine has a pink sticker on the front of the cover & I think a Dutch import from 77

      My 7" comes only in CBS paper dust protector, was this another release that came without the artwork or has the record cover been misplaced?

        'Complete Control' was voted No. 9 in the 1977 John Peel Festive Fifty, No. 2 the following year, No.5 in 1979, No. 15 in 1980, No. 18 in 1981, No. 19 in 1982 (from 1982 it became a poll of the year instead of an all-time top 50 tracks). A true power punk track that was a highlight of the live show. Not a much evidence of what 'Scratch' was up to but Paul Simonon (talking of Lee Perry on the Complete Control session) said 'He was like a whirlwind in the studio, quite erratic actually. But to me, Lee Perry is the Ennio Morricone of Jamacian Music. He's that influential and I think it's only now people are beginning to realise that'. [taken from 'Reggae - The Story of Jamacian Music' by Lloyd Bradley published by BBC Worldwide Limited 2002].
