since a while I have the test of this record. what I then noticed is that the etching on the test is different than on the normal black and pink version. I thought this would mean there has to be another press, a newer press of which this the testpressing should be. Because the black and pink versions I have since ages.
now recently I scored another test for this record. I really hoped on a different test/etching, and IT IS!
this seems to be the first press test.
what I have as etching on what I believe is the first press:
side a: REV:88-A RE-1 R-18301 RE-1
side b: REV:88-B RE-1 R 18308 RE-1
and what I believe is a letter pressing:
side a: REV:88-A R-18301
side b: REV:88-B R-18308
what do you guys think?
can you check your normal pressings and tell me what's up with yours???

If I remember correctly, the "RE" part is a sign that it is a Remix.
So then I would think the RE version would have to be the 2nd version.
My 2 cents...
It's with Rainbo Records labels I assume? Are the labels themselves identical?
Good work detective K.

I also think the re is a second test, but because the vinyl you have also have the re on it, and if everybody also have the re on their copies perhaps the other test is a rejected version from which no pressings where made
my 2 cents

Maybe Jeff is right. If some of you readers can check their matrixes and reply than we can have the mystery solved  |

Sounds like they are most likely from the same pressing. The "re-#" etched on either side denotes that the original test pressing was rejected and that side had to be remastered for some reason. I have several tests like this. I've got three test pressing for Career Suicide's SARS 7" alone, two separate rejected test presses and finally an accepted test pressing.

I think that a "RE" means remix (or remaster), and that doesn't always have to mean that the first mix was rejected.

A new question I (and maybe others) have for you....
....can you discover why it was rejected?
-pauses too short/long
-sound aspects
-wrong rpm
-wrong a/b side
-etc

I think that a "RE" means remix (or remaster), and that doesn't always have to mean that the first mix was rejected. Don't think so, more like "revision/revise" My idea that it is a rejected test is because the pressed vinyl(black and coloured vinyl) has also the "RE" and I don't think they are both repressed with a new test. jeff xXx |

Hi Ferry
I have this First Press Test too and a few pink and Black copies and they all have this:
side a: REV:88-A RE-1 R-18301 RE-1
side b: REV:88-B RE-1 R 18308 RE-1
On side B the matrix number is bigger.
I think theres no second pressing of this, so you got the reject one.
Great score.
