Notes

Unusual promo or record company rep version, not the rare tri-colour, but an equally rare five colour press.

The record may have been pressed as a demonstration of a mixed coloured vinyl record before the album release, but another story suggests that feral copies were pressed by staff at Festival Records during the night or on weekends. There is evidence to
support the second theory, as I have seen similar records from Festival, on sale at a second hand record shop, which were not officially released by the company.

This record is presented without a cover.

It is thought that about 20 may exist in the wild.
