Cry Tuff Dub Part 2, matrix question

[6anbatte]

Hey Leggo Rocker

Thanks for that.

As your numbers coincide with mine and a few other people's I was interested in anything that was slightly different to ours. Hence, my question to Jah Chicken.

Not that I am desperate or misguided or a complete saddo, of course!!

Things like this can be incredibly vexing to us complete saddos...

Just stumbled across another copy of this. Again the matrix number has the more deeply stamped "2" in it.

my copy is the same as above posters too.

Greetings,
Leggo, my copy has a 2 stamped over the 1 on both sides as well. In addition, the etchings on the A and B side were reversed. The etchings of A and B are crossed out (through etchings) and there are 2 A's stamped (vertically ascending) where the B was etched. There are 2 B's stamped above the incorrectly labeled A side as well. Very strange..

Roots,
Jah Chicken

Mine is as above too !

I came across this old thread while researching this LP and I think I might have answered your mystery guys!

I have BOTH presses to hand.

The lightweight vinyl on the FLX4002 A2/B2 press has side A and B mixed up. Note 'JONZ' in the matrix on side A and 'Sound Clinic' on B.

It is musically the same as the labels.

The next (I assume) press with the AA / BB overstamp now has 'Sound Clinic' on A - and 'Jonz' is now on B. The labels are the same - and thus now wrong. They must have realised they'd messed up and altered the stamper matrix - swapping the sides by stamping over A and B. I assume the second A and B - placed above the mess caused by the over-stamp - is for the sake of clarity.

Confused? Get your hands on both versions and it'll all make sense ;0)
