I have an original UK copy of this on vinyl which I bought back in the day.
When you hold the (seemingly black) vinyl up to the light, it appears to be a deep claret/red colour and not black at all.
Anyone else got this? I don't see it mentioned on here, or is it simply that ALL the original ones were like this? I have no idea. -
Picked up my copy on release day @ HMV Bristol. matrix/runout STRAWBERRY BEGA 19 A-1 W5 and STRAWBERRY BEGA 19 A-2 W8. The 7 inch STRAWBERRY W24 SAM 126 A1 and STRAWBERRY SAM 126 B1 W22 it came in the square matt sleeve with product flyer, no poster. I have the other version which came with the glossy cut corner inner sleeve and is styrene not vinyl. So be careful with that one. -
