The Matrix numbers are all the same the only difference it seems is some have the 'Arun' signature in the run-off others have 'TOWNHOUSE' stamped instead. The sleeve date codes are useless as the sleeve are exact scans of the original issues, while Fame (In some cases more successfully than others) blurred out the original logos, they did not blurr out the original date codes. But the date codes on the inner sleeves are for the Fame releases. Real to Real and Fugazi by Marillion FA 41 3142 1 and FA 3196 both on the cream label with the EMI box have 8/88 on the inner sleeve, 8th month of 1988 Real to real with has no date code but say INNER BAG 603 (anyone any ideas?) Mariilion Script for a jesters tear, original label style repro has 11/90 so would agree with the current entry date of 1990 and my ELO 2 FA 3003 3/82 I doubt these bags would have been changed around a lot, its not like they add any value for dealers to bother changing so they look to be a good indication of dating at least the label variantions.
