Progressive rock collectors and avid Pink Floyd disciples have an incredible opportunity to acquire an intriguing American press variant of the intense anthem, "Run Like Hell". Released by Columbia Records in 1980 under the catalogue number 1-11265, this distinctive 45 rpm single offers a fascinating look into the US manufacturing runs for the legendary double-album project, The Wall.

Both compositions featured on this single are pulled directly from that historic 1979 concept masterpiece. This specific collector's copy is a styrene press manufactured at Columbia's famous Terre Haute plant in Indiana. It carries the traditional bright orange Columbia label layout, boasting ink-stamped demonstration text across the B-side label which highlights its promotional history. Discerning ears will appreciate the highly sought-after dead wax data, featuring the iconic TML-X and TML-M stamps indicating the master lacquer was cut directly at The Mastering Lab in Los Angeles. The runouts display T ZSS-167358 - 1G TML-X T11 on Side A and T ZSS-167358 - 1J TML-M T1 with a crossed-out T1 on Side B, verifying its true Terre Haute origins.

The audio tracks deliver absolute stadium rock perfection. The leading side brings the pulsing guitar delays of "Run Like Hell", co-written by David Gilmour and Roger Waters. Turning the disc over reveals the dark, haunting atmosphere of "Don't Leave Me Now", creating a powerful combination of classic tracks.

Regarding preservation, the release has been awarded a very good/excellent grading combination. The iconic Columbia company paper jacket is in clean shape with some handling wear from storage, whilst the clean styrene disc remains in excellent condition. At Planet Earth Records, we meticulously grade and play-test our vintage stock so you can complete your purchase with absolute confidence.
