[cover=2273,2624]

Just got this album and I am curious about the writing on the dead wax(i believe that is the right term?) I am new to vinyl so sorry if this is a stupid question.

Both sides have the correct matrix (ATLP 110), side A also says
"DUB LIKE DIRT      ADRENALIN"
and B side says
"VERSION RUN LIKE WATER     ADRENALIN".

Is this just a random message from the pressing engineer (presumably nicknamed Adrenalin)? The "working title" of the compilation?

When i saw these marks before playing the record, i was wondering if i had a mislabled record because all the other records i have just have the title and/or matrix and other numbers, if anything.

Thanks

Surely there is someone who can answer my question please?

Sorry for bumping

It's probably just a "random" message from the person who cut it, some run outs can have quite funny messages.

Incidentally I think that is one of those Trojan LPs from the late eighties, early nineties where the first press isn't very good and the later Sanctuary period pressings are of better quality.
