Comments and Reviews


Plaatjesman 14th Oct 2013		This promo is sold to me as 'Canadian'. But, as 'Bobzyeruncle' remarks do make sense (this 'Canadian' promo-label looks more like the USA SP 4743 stock label than the common USA promo-label), I did some research on the matrix numbers in the run-off groove area of both countries. This 'Canadian' promo label has "A&M SP5223 (RE-2)-P2" on side 1 and "A&M SP5224 (RE-2)-P1" on side 2. The Canadian stock copies have "SP 4743-A", "SP 5223" and "tlc" scattered on side 1 and "SP 4743-B", "SP 5224" and "tlc" in a very short run-off groove area on side 2. Also the word "para" can be found on either side. All my USA copies (as well as stock-, promo- and test-pressing) have some sort of "A&M SP5223 (RE-2)" on side 1 and "A&M SP5224 (RE-2)" on side 2. Usually with extra codes added to it like "-M1" (common USA promo white label), "-M3" (USA test pressings) or "-RC2" on my stock copy. So, 'Bobzyeruncle' is probably right and these White Label Promo scans should be transferred to the USA pressing That leaves my question, why so many different Test- and Promo-pressings? And what would be the oldest pressing?



bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013		The typesetting is the giveaway. Common on US releases from the mid-Seventies, through the Eighties and all but unknown on pressings made elsewhere.



beatcrazy 13th Oct 2013		@bobzyeruncle: The common US promo labels look slightly different (see pictures there). What makes you sure that these here are US ones as well? Just curious...



bobzyeruncle 13th Oct 2013		The promo scans are of the American release, not the Canadian one.



Plaatjesman 3rd Oct 2013		No, my promo copy came in a white die-cut sleeve.



JJcollector 3rd Oct 2013		Very interesting promo copy. I've never seen it before. Thank you for adding it! Did it came with a standard copy picture sleeve?
