A highly desirable acquisition presents itself in this scarce original 1999 UK seven-inch single, Nothing Is Real But The Girl, specially manufactured by RCA exclusively for commercial jukebox distribution and never issued as a standard retail vinyl release. Bearing the distinctive catalogue identifier 21 66948 7 JB, this uncommon late-nineties artifact stands as the only way to own the single on a 7-inch format. Unlike the standard commercial market which only received CD and promotional 12-inch editions, this industrial pressing features durable black machine-moulded labels designed specifically to withstand automatic handling. Discography purists will appreciate the stamped runout operational markings (21669487 JB A-1-1-Q1 / 21669487 JB B-1-1-Q1), confirming its verified debut A-1/B-1 matrix status directly from the initial British production run.

Musically, the A-side features the sophisticated, rhythmic "Nothing Is Real But The Girl (Boilerhouse Lounge Mix)", offering an excellent alternative contemporary production on this late-period chart entry. Turning the 45 rpm platter over reveals a blistering, energetic rendition of the classic anthem "Rip Her To Shreds (Live)" on Side B, capturing the band's raw onstage chemistry. This specific combination of alternative studio remixing and live energy makes this particular jukebox issue a standout pressing from Blondie's late-1990s resurgence era.

The vinyl disc sits at a solid, conservatively graded VG+ condition, presenting a clean profile for an item destined for public coin-op machines. The vinyl surfaces retain a good, healthy gloss, showing just a few minor superficial surface marks consistent with mechanical jukebox arm placement. Offered as a disc-only utility pressing as originally distributed to operators without a retail picture cover, this elusive RCA single represents a super upgrade for any comprehensive punk-pop collection.
