Immerse yourself in the soaring vocal hook lines of mid-80s British new wave with this original 1985 UK first-pressing 7" vinyl single of Feargal Sharkey's hit track, You Little Thief. Released on the collectible Virgin Records label (Catalog Number: VS 840 / Barcode: 5012980084074), this standout 45 RPM single highlights the legendary former Undertones frontman immediately following his chart-topping signature solo success A Good Heart.

Co-written by Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Side A is produced by David A. Stewart of Eurythmics and mixed by Shelly Yakus, delivering a driving, high-fidelity pop rock masterclass. Side B presents The Living Actor, a compelling, atmospheric performance entirely arranged and produced by Sharkey himself with standout guitar contributions from David Rose. Housed in its stunning original cinematic-themed picture sleeve, this physical release is a quintessential artifact of 1980s UK radio chart history.

• Media Grading: Very Good Plus (VG+) – The physical vinyl disc retains a highly reflective original mirror gloss sheen. Visually excellent, revealing just a few microscopic cosmetic sleeve-removal wisps under direct grading light. Playback is remarkably clean, loud, and dynamic across both sides, accentuating Sharkey's signature vocal vibrato and the crisp rhythmic production.
• Sleeve Grading: Very Good (VG) – The outer picture jacket features bold stylized script typography and deep image contrast. Displays honest, age-appropriate storage shelf wear along the edges, with minor corner rubbing and standard soft handling lines. The reverse sleeve face remains completely clean and fully legible with its unique multi-photo concert collage panels and technical credit blocks completely intact.
• Inclusions: Complete with its original, authentic printed picture sleeve wrapper.
