LABEL DESIGN/COLOUR VARIATIONS
There is a third pressing of the UK release of Hot Rod Gang EP, i.e. there are 2 different label designs in the first sleeve showing the “EXTENDED PLAY” imprint in different places.
Secondly, the sleeve issued in Chile had a green, rather than red, tint on the front of the sleeve.
VINYL
Regarding Japanese singles, a red vinyl copy has been found of ECR 10262. Furthermore, it seems that whereas red vinyl copies were issued by Capitol/Toshiba, most black vinyl releases are from Capitol/Shibaura. There are, however, also a number of parallel releases of black vinyl singles from Capitol/Shibaura and Capitol/Toshiba ( e.g. 7P 145, 7P 146), the Capitol/Toshiba copies being issued with additional inserts and the Capitol/Shibaura copies mostly in plain sleeves.
In the Netherlands there are a number of early singles issued with
and without push-out centres.
The Germany Bird Doggin’ LP Impact IMLP 400454 (1987) was issued on white vinyl.
