Fun Fact
The 1st press color vinyl was suppose to be maroon, to match the cover, but the pressing plant couldn't mix the color properly and came up with pink. After pressing a number of the pink they stopped and tried remixing the color, this time coming up with orange. To make life easier Jordan just had them do the 1000 on orange so the mix was createdwhen changing from pink to orange without cleaning the presses. The actual invoice states 60 on pink and makes nomention of the mix, so how many of the pure pink versus how many of the orange pink mix exist is not known, but it is safe to say that that there are more than 10 of the mix as was originally believed. What is more, did the mix of colors count as orange or pink on the invoice? So are there 60 pure pink and a number of the mix color, or are there a even fewer pure pink and a large number of mixed?To add insult to injury, the mix as been referred to as swirl when actually the pure pink, mix, and orange are all technically swirls. The only way to tell is by comparing

NB
The Rev website mentions that there are 3 pressings with black vinyl and maroon sleeve. (1st / 2nd 3rd) I have been unable to find any differances between the pressings.

The differences between the maroon black vinyls are the inserts color differences.

The only difficulty is wich one is the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.

If the insert color differences are the same for the 1st press black vinyl and the coloured vinyl, then i have a 2nd and a 3rd press black vinyl.

If those inserts colour from the 1st press black vinyl and coloured vinyl are not the same, i have a 1st. press black vinyl and or a 2nd or a 3rd black vinyl one.

And now i need also a blue cover with the white insert ;-)

Anyone with a spare copy of the maroon cover - black vinyl who can hit me up?

[chris2far]

what do you think about the represses of the bold/sbs on lp? i think theire kinda lame.
i love the 7'' format more than the lp.

[mikethemosher]

lookin back lp looks awesome. the updated cover is great. i never got around to getting the sbs lp so cant really say for certain, but all of the added tracks is a huge benefit. nothing wrong with those.

There's also 2 versions of the 4th (Blue Cover) press.

One comes with the standard insert like in the pic above.

The other is just a 2 sided square piece of paper with the lyrics printed on the front and back.
