OldMod67 15th Apr 2022		I've added a photo of a page from an old scrapbook of mine, which has a review of the L.P. from August 4th issue of N.M.E. plus a clipping about the misprinted sleeve.



OldMod67 26th Sep 2020		@JohnnyCool, thanks. There seem to be a few mismatches and variants. The Dojo reissue was mentioned in one of the Modzines at the time but it seemed a bit 'unofficial' all the same and as I mentioned I gave it away to a kid in the late 80s. I need to check my son's copy, but I think it was a BHLP with correct 'numbers'



JohnnyCool 26th Sep 2020		@OldMod67 Little to add I'm afraid aside from owning a copy of BHLP003 with the correct cover and no oversticker. Squire were still selling copies of this until the mid-80s via their fan club mail order service. The Dojo reissue was in 1985.



OldMod67 17th Sep 2020		A recent Squire newsletter had me digging out scrapbooks (again) The September 1979 release date above is related to a later pressing. Antony Meynell says the album was rush released by Arista on June 29th to tie in with the March Of The Mods tour. The first pressing was on the b&w label, red print and the BHLP003 cat no. I've a small cutting (which unfortunately I didn't date) stating the Nunbers misprint being sought after already, the initial batch of 2000 copies. The album was reviewed in NME in the August 4th edition. I do have a Four001 pressing on b&w labels, from when Arista picked up distribution, so that I think must be pressing #2. I'm unsure if any BHLP were overstickered with the new cat.no, my Four1 sticker is on the corresponding album. I did give two copies away, one BHLP b&w label, to my son, unsure when and where that came from;the other was a mid eighties reissue on Castle or Dojo that was slightly off centre and I gave to a local kid just getting into revival era bands. So, may have to create a new entry and ask for images moved, unless any kind soul has additional info?



SettingSon 2nd Jul 2017		Got this off of my Dad (one of his many copies) a little while back. Great album. I'm playing it as I write this.



OldMod67 3rd Sep 2015		Correct about the Four 1 stickers being later. The BHLP003 were first pressings (& misprint sleeve) picked up by Arista and repressed with the new cat no with label and sleeve amended accordingly with a black and white Bridgehouse label. I'll have to dig them out but somewhere I've got both editions plus a dodgy pressing from the mid-eighties, possibly on Castle (?) label...



janiejjones 29th Mar 2015		I doubt that stickers were "early". A rather more likely scenario is that Arista took up distribution of this upon signing Secret Affair. This is an example of the sums and the parts and all that sort of things, great record, some lousy tracks by shoddy groups though. Deadwax (etched) A: BHLP - 003 - A1 RAYS B: BHLP - 003 - B1 RAYS



carryonsidney ● 11th Feb 2014		Very early copies are stickered with an Arista "Four 1" sticker.
