Besides the coloured sunset , there is a Capitol Record Club issue with a Black and White sunset made in the USA. I also happened upon a regular issue of Friends with a Black and White sunset made in the USA in Costa Mesa California back in '90. And i do know what to look for. I made sure it was not a Capitol record club issue including the trashed vinyl. i looked for anything unusual and it had a 16 in the bottom right corner near the RIAA . i don't recall seeing the EMI logo at the bottom either. the 16 seemed more isolated away from any cluttered print. i checked it thoroughly and i know it was the last press of Friends But i was tight on money and food was more important than a beat up copy for 6 bucks even if it was a rare variation . and of course i haven't seen one since. and i guarantee it was not a Record Club issue or a British issue. I have a copy of the British mono back in the early 80's i know Lee Dempsey Of ESQ would vouch on my thoroughness. It was Lee who left behind a Capitol record club issue of Sunflower in a Mississippi record store back in '88. then two weeks later i was there and scooped it up never taking anything for granted. A valuable lesson that Lee Dempsey learnt. He has since found another one.
