Does anyone have the original press of this LP or know for sure how to tell it from the various represses?

I have a copy that the seller insisted was original, but it hasa different colour label to that listed on RA (see link below)

My label is Orange, the sleeve has Trojan Sales, 12 Thayer Street, London as the address. And matrix TRLS+169-A 2

I'm certain that this isn't the first pressing as claimed. Any Trojan-heads out there can confirm?

Thanks in advance.

most repres have barcodes! in '80.

Hi Leggo Rocker

I have this album. I'll check mine out now.

Light blue label

Trojan Recordings Ltd, 326 Kensal Road, London, W105BL

TRLS 169A-1
TRLS 169B-1

B@gg*r!

As I suspected then. The ...A-2 is a bit of a giveaway isn't it...

Early Repress then, no barcode.

Hi Leggo Rocker

Sorry to be the bearer of not-so-good news.

Leggo all my trojan's from 76 still 80 are lightblue labels.
But most sleeves have plastic layer over the cover
and that is tipcal '70 uk.

I heard this a few years back. The light blue labels are the early presses (circa 70s). The Orange two tone labels are the later 80s and so on.
