Notes
There was only one pressing of this 45 with the same matrix numbers, but there were two different sleeves (this one with orange / red back sleeve and a different one with purple back sleeve). Robert Mache printed the sleeves for this single (and for Human Fly) and he confirmed that there was only one pressing of this vinyl with two different back covers released at the same time. The different color back sleeves were done for variation (the same as many of the early band flyers which were printed on more than one color of paper or with more than one color of ink).

This is NO first and second pressing of this 45....There is only ONE pressing. ROGI and all etching on the discs is THE SAME. There is only ONE pressing with two different color back sleeve variants. that were all pressed and printed at the same time. -

there are different colors of the back sleeve! my own copy is orange and I have seen purple ones! I wonder if this scan is realy a red one? or if this is just a bad reproduction of an orange one?
