Oakley Boys 8th Jul 2018		Interesting to read the links about which is the genuine first and second issue. On my blue ink copy you CAN actually see where the running order on the cover is completely different and it has been inked over in black e.g. 'Side A: 1 Still Raining' is just about visible just under 'Side A: 1. And The Gods Made Love' and 'Come On' is just visible before 'Voodoo Chile (slight return)'.

Magic Marmalade 🍰 30th Aug 2016		Interesting article albert, and some good points.... ...but it still means the blue text one is the "rarer", whether it be the first or second press... especially when you see how many of each turn up on ebay. (I think the larger photos look better too, especially as you can see on the white text scan here that the space provided for the photos can, and probably was intended, to accommodate photos of the larger size). But, all that said, my experience (ha ha) with actual Polydor label albums of the late seventies and early eighties makes me think that if it's the sound quality you're after... better go for one of those (I have "Want"ed both Polydor versions). I would link this page to the other ELL issues, but last time I did that it messed up the links for some reason, so will leave that for someone else to do (needs doing though).



albert 16th Aug 2016		Further to my comment below I have found this 'blue text vs white text' article which further muddies the waters. However, they do make a point, which I should have remembered (since its a recurring argument), that when a 60s mega-artist released an album the manufacturers would have to have a huge stockpile built up ready for the day of release, and so inevitably there will be variations in the printing, and you may find that the actual 'first pressings' were in the warehouse right at the back of the huge stockpile and may therefore have only been finally distributed when the huge stockpile was exhausted. ...I have also noticed that the labels on one of my copies are actually stuck on the top of the pressing labels. I don't want to peel off a label to check what the label looks like underneath, I presume it is either a mix-up on sides A/D B/C, or if the song sequences are incorrect (which was also the reason for the overprinting of blue text on the 'rejected cover').



albert 16th Aug 2016		There are many confusing variants on the original pressings of this LP. The originals do have larger pictures of Mitch and Neol, but even on the originals there are variants on the sizes, oh and the text is blue print over white. I have three or maybe four copies of this. I actually only wanted to own one copy but as I bought replacements in better condition the differences in printing were starkly apparent and I really do not know what is first issue. Plus to make matters worse, I was young and foolish and happily swapped covers and vinyl to get my best copy. Years later I read that when the LP was released, Jimi (?), was not happy with the mix or cut and so it was redone, [can somebody please confirm this]. The thing with the coupling of Side A / Side D and Side B / Side C was to do with marketing aimed at owners of those horrendous multi-stack record players, so you could load your player with both discs and it would play Side A, then drop the second record on top and play Side B, you would then have to flip over both records on your multi-stack spindle and let the player continue with Side C , Side D. .....apologies if I haven't explained this too well, maybe youtube has a clip showing one of these contraptions. Anyway the point I should make is Side A / Side D - Side B / Side C may just be a variant pressing and not necessarily denote 'original first issue' as some ebay sellers have insisted.
