Or maybe it is a Canadian version?? I see one for sale in Gemm , the seller claims it is an AVI Canadian copy.How the seller knows is behond me, since my copy with the same cat # doesn't show any country of origin markings, maybe the sleeve had this info??, (my copy is on a replacement genetic sleeve) in any case the label is the colorful one, I found a different label scan to this "Mad as hell"
issue with the colorful label and 'Sunset blvd, LA, California' on the label.

If it has an American address on the bottom, it's not a Canadian copy. AVI was distributed in Canada by Quality Records.

The long version of "I'm Mad As Hell" was released as a commercial 12" in the US and the UK. The US was in the standard-design AVI sleeve (as shown in the vault), the UK had a fake band picture on the cover.

Graham , see if this image tells you where this one is from, I'd say it was a Promo copy distributed in the record pools, my own copy is in storage, I'm pretty sure this copy from an old DJ friend of mine is from back in the day.

That's a US promo for sure.

Canadian AVI releases always have black-and-white (or silver-on-black) labels.

I do... and I believe many of the posters here also have it. It is a relatively easy to find 12 inch single. Just search Gemm or Music Stack.
