7226power 19th Oct 2020		Deadwax markings on my copy: A: FAC 73 A2 - GG - POUNDA TA1PE - MVSS42R-CUT B: FAC 73 B2 - GG - MVSS12 - R-CUT inner card sleeve is black.



candiman SUBS 18th Jun 2020		Labels reversed on some copies.



Graham7 21st Jan 2020		Added a non diecut sleeve. Albert, I oriented my images based on the spine text reading top to bottom and the sleeve opening to the right as is convention for most records. I have no idea about the coding.



albert 14th Apr 2019		Nerdy question: I know that the colour coding is meant to spell out details about the release such as catalogue number, artist, song title. So armed with that info can someone decipher the coding and confirm that the images are not upside down?



harry1958 16th Oct 2017		Deadwax (A side) Fact 73 A2.......The Robot.......Strawberry (stamped) ( B side) Fac 73 B+1..... HO EL + TEL......MT6.........G4......Strawberry (stamped)



Jock_Girl 14th Oct 2017		Quoting mister_tmg: " Interesting! Shame the singer isn't a crooner though..." Personally I've always had this joke running through my head of Elmer Fudd singing it How does it feelwa to tweat me wike you do? When you've waid your hands upon me and told me who you awe



Apollo59 10th Mar 2017		Deadwax A: (etched) FAC 73 A3 GG FOUNDA TAPE. WHERE'S MURDER? B: (etched) FAC 73 B2 MVSS24 RE-CUT



mister_tmg 15th Mar 2016		Interesting! Shame the singer isn't a crooner though...



Deltics 9th Mar 2016		This is fun!



mister_tmg 26th Feb 2016		The UK's best-selling 12" single of all-time.



Magic Marmalade 9th Dec 2015



Oakley Boys 18th Feb 2015		Got another one A side says:- Found Tape Where's Murder (I think) B side :-I Said Where's Murder



Oakley Boys 3rd Feb 2015		Mine just says FAC 73 A* anD FAC 73 B* + Townhouse



nboldock 12th Oct 2014		Fair point - tis a classic and no mistake!



Oakley Boys 12th Oct 2014		Strange, no-one has even mentioned the music. Absolutely brilliant track, something that I never tire of hearing (unless someone plays it to me 30 times on the trot maybe)



henry29 18th Sep 2014		Have a Listen. A 12" Only release at the time. Die Cut Sleeve was Limited as Too Expressive to Keep Issuing. Uses Sample from Divine - Love Reaction. H.



TheJudge 11th Sep 2014		Only because my scanner isn't big enough! :-)



Graham7 11th Sep 2014		Images of diecut "floppy disc" sleeve with silver inner added. Surprised there weren't any cover images yet, considering this is the most "Owned" record on 12" World.



Billy Two 20th Jan 2013		There are dozens of variations. There's a guy in Belgium who habitually messages internet sellers of this record, asking them for the matrix. Should you be reading this, my friend - if you can keep such a meticulous list of different matrix variations, then maybe you could also keep a list of the people you've already contacted. Save bothering the same person on a dozen or more occasions.



TheJudge 20th Jan 2013		Mine has MT.2 on the A and MT.1 on the B.



janiejjones 20th Jan 2013		Deadwax A: (etched) OUT VOTED! FAC - 73 - A-1 MT.-5 (stamped) STRAWBERRY B: (etched) FAC - 73 - B-1 MT. 2 HO. EL & TEL! (stamped) STRAWBERRY
