Hi, need some information from you experts :D

Last magician has been released in:
  • white cover with white vinyl (red text)
    silver cover with transparent or white vinyl (green text)
    blue cover
Is anything wrong in the list and is there more releases? I'm trying to figure out pictures that I have found and it's not easy :D

The 2 standard versions (total 1500 copies):
white sleeve with green letters, white labels
white sleeve with red letters, black labels

Then there is 26 copies of:
silver gatefold sleeve with green letters, white labels

All 3 versions on white vinyl.

I believe the blue version is some kind of proof sleeve (without record) that only taylor and maybe a couple of other people have.

The blue sleeve is a test pressing (without vinyl) for the silver gatefold. There is also a silver sleeve (non gatefold) test pressing without vinyl.

The copies with the silver gatefold sleeve are lettered A-Z. In addition, there are a limited number of copies (less than 5 I think) of the silver gatefold which are not lettered.

There are actually very few Green Sleeves - maybe no more than 200, the lowest numbered green sleeve is 0600

I guess this is the last copy we will ever see for sale.

£127 after less than 24 hours isn't too bad.

£155 for the test pressing of the gatefold. Must say, I'd expected this one to end up a bit higher...

Wonder if one of you knowlegable lot could tell me what version I've got, as I dont see it quite listed above ....

Mines a silver cover, green letters but it isnt a gatefold ?? It is lettered on the back (B) and the vinyl is white with black labels.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I'd say you have one of the test pressings for the gatefold sleeve. These have a silver cover (or blue cover) with green letters on the front cover and are lettered in black on the back (yours "B", my copy is lettered "Q" but has no vinyl). The test pressings usually come without the vinyl as far as I know, so someone took the vinyl from another version of last magician and added it to the silver sleeve.

Thanks for that. I wondered if that was the case.

As I'm not really a collector I'm probably going to sell it. ( will help with funds for the NMA tour later in the year)

I'd obviously rather it go to someone on here than go down the ebay route, so if you know of anyone who may be interested ?
