Matt73 15th Jun 2018 | | CD AlbumModels - Models' Media | Hi to all. Interesting one in deed and one of my favorite albums of all time, in fact "Hold On" is my favorite song of all time - a big call to make I know! I originally bought this new in early 1987, and still have that CD which has a small crack around the centre ring. I bought the Mushroom re-issue years ago, sold it on ebay a couple of years ago and bought a mint original release 1986 version, so now have two with the RMCD53216 catalogue number. What I can see has happened is that when it was re-issued in 1991, Festival obviously still had plenty of the CD booklets for these, as they sold no-where near what they had hoped (unlike OOMOOS before it). So they would have had plenty of these left over, so when the re-issue appeared 5 years later, they just slapped the new Festival sticker over on the back over the RMCD number, also now including a bar code, which of course was absent on the 1986 release. Hence the reason that the spine and booklet still have the RMCD cat number on them, however the CD itself had the "new" Festival cat number. Long story I know, but that's what has happened, and from memory a few others in the re-issued Mushroom series are in the same situation.
Another interesting thing with this CD is the back paper insert has a slight crease in all issues of the CD, if you have the CD, check yours out and see if you can tell?!
