Lanark 17th Jul 2013		12" Single Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band - Light Reflected Off The Oceands Of The Moon (1982)	The Beefheart/ Magic Band identity crisis continued on this, his last single release. Sleeve says "Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band" and the label says "Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band".
Lanark 26th Jun 2013		12" Single Joy Division - Transmission (1980)	If the image in the centre of the sleeve is embossed then it is a 9 December 1980 issue (ie. first 12" issue). The 1981 re-issue had flat sleeves with no embossed images. I also think the font on the labels looks slightly bolder on the 1981 re-issue.

Lanark 17th Mar 2013		12" Single The Associates - 18 Carat Love Affair (1982)	Identity crisis continues. The name is "Associates" on the record sleeve and "The Associates" on the label.
Lanark 1st Mar 2013		12" Single The KLF - What Time Is Love ("Pure Trance 1") (1988)	The video for the original version of "What Time Is Love?". Filmed by Bill Butt for The KLF road movie "The White Room". [YouTube Video]
Lanark 16th Feb 2013		12" Single Joy Division - Transmission (1980)	The 12" was released by Factory in the UK at the end of 1980. December I think. I loved JD and had all their records (still do). I didn't buy it. I liked my textured 7" sleeve and thought the re-issue on 12" was a bit of a Factory re-formatting, cash-in on IC's death. I recall the NME reviewing the 12" re-formatting, cash-in release and calling it something like "the saddest record released this week" or words to that effect. The YT clip is a cracker and I remember watching it on TV when it was first broadcast. I still... "Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance To The Radio!"
