Original copies of these singles fetch crazy prices – such as Ambulance’s ‘It’s All Up to You’ (£400+), The Normals’ ‘Hardcore’ (£300+), or the Fingers’ ‘Isolation’ (last sold on Discogs for £2,960!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite their rarity these records remain both beautifully crafted 3- minute musical gems, and long-lost micro-histories of an essentially hidden genre.
