Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin		I finally had the opportunity to do a side by side comparison of the original turquoise/cyan cover with a later 1970s pressing, see the new pic. Thank you to Ben at The Little Record Shop for allowing me to take pics.
My idea was to use photoshop to analyse colouring on the back cover sepia style photo, to see if cyan is in the mix. Unfortunately results were inconclusive, cyan registers very low on selected areas of both covers and may only be there due to the lighting when the pics were taken.
However, you may be interested to see how far the image degraded after only a few years. On the original cyan sleeve the back cover (right) has a nicely clear and detailed image, whereas on the later pressing (mid 1970s) the image is faded and lacking in detail.
On my own early pressing the back photo image looks identical to that on the cyan sleeve, it is clear and detailed, ...which is a disappointment as I was hoping to see at least some degradation in the quality.

Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band - Clear Spot		Review
Probably the most perfectly realised Captain Beefheart LP, and the one that is the most accessible. Definitely the starting point that I recommend for anyone interested in discovering the great man.
The LP pretty much covers his wide range of styles incorporating elements of blues, rock, ballad, and of course his signature Beefheartian style. Every track is a winner and the LP includes the fabulous Big-Eyed Beans From Venus which is just about everyone's favourite song, and the difficult Golden Birdies which will help you decide if you really do want to venture onto Trout Mask Replica.

Magazine - Secondhand Daylight		Pressing fault on most of the early UK pressings. It is hardly noticeable coming right at the end of song 'Cut-Out Shapes' when he repeats the earlier lyric "I just get numb when you're hard to find", it instead comes out as "I just get numb wh_find".
My faulty pressing has matrix V2121 $ A 1, (where the $ is actually a B overwritten with A and then scribbled out).

The Motors - Approved By The Motors		Note that on the coloured vinyl pressing the labels utilise a slightly different blue and the ladies are flesh coloured.
Seems there were all sorts of old label designs being used up on pressings around 1978 before Virgin standardised with green & red.

Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!		Nice to see the LP sleeve with the spot sticker indicating its on coloured vinyl.
SPOTS 006 presumably to identify the sticker, rather like the spot sticker on the Sex Pistols LP (SPOTS 001), and SPOTS 007 for the first PiL LP.
