referencing What A Waste! (7", 45 RPM, Single, Solid centre) BUY 27

Completely different Etched matrix on this Solid centre version. Lower case Buy and a triangular 3 dot logo, that I do not recognise. I cannot take a clear picture of it as the vinyl is very shiny and reflective.

Bassline and synth solo on 'Wake Up' appropriated from 'Inch By Inch' by The Strikers?
