I'm just wondering about a couple of things:-

1. How rare/limited is the Alice 7" with the white picture

2. What is this? My other copy is the normal black label

Anyone??!!

I don't know how rare the white Alice is but it seems to sell for around £10 on ebay.

The other one I've no idea.

I got my white Alice a couple of weeks ago for 4quid so i think i did well, but as for my This Corrosion, i can't find a reference for this green label anywhere. I'm sure i bought it at the time of its release from my local record shop but I've never seen this label on any other copy.

The gap for a 'big punch' style hole in the label makes it look like it's from a run for duke-boxes to me.

I have got a 7" jukebox copy of This Corrosion (from my local pub back in the day) and the punched hole is far bigger, standard jukebox size which is about 1 1/2" dia. Labels black though and a paper pic. sleeve.

It looks to me like a local pressing from some other country. I have, for example, loads of Banshees 7 inchers which are Irish pressings, and also have a different (generic record company) label, etc. Most likely nothing special, in other words.

The 'Jukebox' theory had crossed my mind but the 'gap' is still quite thick, it would be hard to take the middle out without cracking the whole disc, (unless you have a fancy record hole punch type thingy of course). All the jukebox records I've seen, the middle is only held in at 3 or 4 small points so it can easily be 'pushed' out.

I know it's nothing great or anything, if it was we'd probably know what it is, but it is a bit of a puzzle for me

corrosion it's uk press, all i know knows as green plastic label.
