Comments and Reviews


gregs45s SUBS ● 7th Jun 2023		Added blue "Diver" labels. They were the first i think. (also has a white inner sleeve, but my copy is too tatty to scan)



Warlock 7th Oct 2021		LP released: December 31, 1980 Debut Date: January 10, 1981 Recorded: 1980 at Netherturkdonic Studios, Gloucestershire, England



rocket666 20th May 2020		I have diver labels (as Italy but slight print difference to cat nos.). Matrix stamped ILPS 9576 A - 2U and 9 4 and 'JOAR' scratched / B - 2U and 2 3 and 'sound clinic'. Inner sleeve as US; but above photo is 'ILPS 9576 (I)...[I for insert?? perhaps). All seems to be UK but no mention of such anywhere; 'Manufactured and distributed by EMI Records Limited' bottom right rear sleeve. Though my properly cut and stuck sleeve has the spine text down the left of the front sleeve - not seen in any uploaded pictures; and there is a five pointed star after the cat. no. Any meanings behind these minor sightings?



Magic Marmalade 2nd Jan 2016



ppint. 2nd Jan 2016		also, printing up a couple of thousand for the anticipated first run of pressings and immediate re-pressings makes logistical, as well as commercial sense - whereas printing odd lots of just a couple of hundred down to as few as, say, fifty for monthly - or even quarterly - re-re-re-pressings, after the lp's fallen out of the top one, two or three hundred. . . (- someone kick me occasionally, and i'll dig out & check my copy, which i'll've bought in london, the first or second week it was out. . . eventually. . .)



Magic Marmalade 1st Jan 2016		not entirely sure umbria, but outside of the standard Island labels progrssion, I'd assume that first presses would have the picture labels as a feature, before somebody at the label says they're too expensive to produce, and just puts them out with normal island labels. Best check the matrix numbers and such to confirm it.



umbria99 1st Jan 2016		I have the blue 'diver' picture label, does this denote an earlier or later pressing than the palm tree shown above?



ppint. 1st Dec 2015		first had this as an (pre-promotion, let alone release) unlabelled cassette from harvey goldsmith, courtesy of john, for babysitting services in the desolation of north peckham's peabody tenement buildings. - b1 struck me as the obvious single a-side, and i assumed that that would be the lead title of the album, and hence determine which was side one. still (imnsho) think it should have been, and be. . .



plocky45 SUBS 9th Aug 2015		Label images added



Magic Marmalade 29th Mar 2015		Seen a couple of these on ebay with picture labels (Cover picture of diver), but mine has pink rim palm tree label.
