Mispressings

Are there any mispressings around?Wrong b sides etc.The only one i got is the Alice 7" with the white cover.Was it a mispress or the first pressing?Please post only official stuff.Thanks.

Alice - mispress I think. I've got one too.

There was a similar thing with the Body And Soul cover, there was a black and white version.

About half of the original Damage Done 7"s have the labels on the wrong sides if that counts.

Yes there are many wrong labeled records,but i mean only real mispressings.Wrong artist on b side for example.

I've got black and white versions of Alice (7") and Body & Soul (12").

But there's another strange thing - on the sleeve of my "Gift" CD there's written "Alan Vela" (not "Vega" as on the sleeve of the vinyl record and as it should be)

Could you tell me please how it's written on your CD-s' sleeves?

Alan Vega.

So what the **** I've got? I'm quite sure I ordered the CD from German Infrarot mailorder in 90s and it bloody looks like an original, not a fake

for ten years i had to make do with pre-recorded tapes -at Â£2-3 2ndhand it wasnt such a pisser that they would only last 6-12mths before snapping

anyway during that time i saw some weird oddities
1)vision thing cassete (which according to my wembley arena prog./reading prog. ? doesnt exist with full album on both sides
2)vision thing normal track listing but extra vision thing on the end ,same mix
3)floodland (black plastic) official tape no mention of wea/eastwest/time warner at all on cover
4)floodland (clear plastic) greeney black cover -normal & another clear plastic with bluey black cover with colours on tape (as per cd) but no mention on sleeve

apart from the different coloured plastics all the tapes i would swear were official -the print decay and life expectancy were identical to perfectly normal FALAA and SGWBM which i have owned multiples of.
doubtless all worthless but anorak-interesting.or not

I have one of those

I really like those pre-recorded tapes. They sound great in the car, very bass heavy

Mine says the same thing; I never even noticed it before.

The CD was "imported", but bought (new) off of Amazon.com.
