Bringing’ It Down LP
Revelation Records #15 1989
Test Press
8 black vinyl with Rainbo labels
1st Press
712 on green marble vinyl w/ purple labels and black/yellow insert
5458 on black vinyl
Rev’s pressing info states there were only 4 presses. 1st one (above), 2nd (w/ red labels), 3rd (w/ maroon labels) and 4th final one (on orange vinyl). I found that to be inaccurate as there are at least 3 different versions that pop up with red labels, indicating that AT LEAST 3 separate pressings were done between the 1st and the 3rd one. Interestingly the pressing sheet also states that 3rd press+ came with maroon labels. Such version doesn't exist. I did find however purple label pressings that were different to the 1st one. Putting these pressings in chronological order was pretty much a guessing game on my part but here is what I deduced:
2nd Press
Black vinyl, red labels, black/yellow insert.
3rd Press
Black vinyl, red labels, black/purple insert.
4th Press
Black vinyl, red labels, black/white insert.
This version seems to be the least hard to find of all the BID variations therefore I conclude that this scheme must have run through at least several pressings
5th Press
Black vinyl, purple labels, black/white insert
Rev info doesn't mention this or the next pressing on this list. The labels are purple but different to the 1st press labels. This and the next pressing must have been done either shortly before the final orange or soon after. At first I thought they were pressed at the same time as the orange vinyl but the cardstock, colour of the cover and the finish (matt/gloss) are slightly different for each this, 6th and 7th version which indicates they were pressed some time apart. It's a guessing game which came first, they are however all different versions.
6th Press
Black vinyl, purple labels, black/white insert
7th Press (April 2001)
There was a separate set of test presses made for this release to check whether the plates were still usable
Test Press
8 black vinyl with Erika labels
7th Press (April 2001)
333 Orange vinyl, purple labels

7th Press (April 2001)
Things that are worth noting:
The 1st press came with plastic dust sleeves while all of the other pressings had paper inner bags. Also in the 1st pressing we have PRINTED IN CANADA on the spine. In all of the subsequent pressings this was covered with an ugly pink box. See the comparison here:
Also type/quality of the cardstock used for the covers differs in few cases resulting in different colour and different type of gloss finish. It indicates that they may have been printed at a different printers over the years. One example:
