I also have a different Runout Matrix / Runout. Side A: RAYS W-1 RAL 1 A EG 1. Side B: RAYS W-1 RAL 1 B EG 1. Pretty sure its a first press as I have had it since 78 or 79.
CriticalMaasCollect Oct 5, 2023
My vinyl has a different runoff groove info--Matrix / Runout (Side A runout, variant on side 1): RAYS S-17 RAL1 A EG 1 for side 1.
And Matrix / Runout (Side A runout, variant 10): RAYS S-19 RAL 1 A 1 EG for side 2.
This LP was mastered quite loud, like a lot of vinyl from that period.

If anyone has the insert for sale please pm me !

This is one of the better producents records to be released in the post punk era. A 5 star album!

I’ve heard that there will be another reissue coming out on 6 of January. It will be pressed by Rhino on ruby clear vinyl. Can anyone confirm this? Maybe some one has any additional info about this

This album rips, highly recommend finding an original pressing as it sounds superb!

I just picked this up today on yellow vinyl. It's on Real Records and everything matches including the custom printed inner sleeve. I can't find anything about it anywhere. Does anybody have any ideas?
