Album Info

Release Date: 1990

Label: Villealfa Filmproductions

This is the press kit promo single for the Aki Kaurismäki movie "I Hired a Contract Killer", in which Strummer also starred.

The number of copies is unknown, but very small. Comes in a light green/turqoise textured sleeve and has the runout credits of Finnvox / MJ (beautifully etched). The record was never for sale, but was given away as film promotion material. The disc includes two songs which Strummer also performs in the film.

Comes with a full colour foldable press release in English, a black & white (typed) press release in Finnish, plus typed film credit lists including the credits to Joe Strummer.

There is also an official release in darker blue/green textured sleeve: Joe Strummer - I Hired A Contract Killer.

The reissues in b&w paper sleeve are unofficial.
