    10 Tracks each side. No dross. Those were the days when you got value for money

      My copy is dark red translucent. Anyone else have this ?

        For avid Costello fans, seek out an OG F-Beat press over the US Columbia.

          Is this is the UK pressing with a bass heavy mix?

            On the standard UK copy on the label 'Side 2' there appears to be black shiny ink stamp across 3 rows: 'Boots The Chemist Ltd', 'Branch No 23' and the 3rd row could be an address but not readable. Having bought this in the year of release I don't that Boots sold vinyl... that is they didn't sell vinyl. Any thoughts / comments?

              My copy has a cover with no 'worn' mark, so the image is pristine.

                The sleeve is designed to mimic a well-worn original old soul sleeve, thus the ring wear image on front and back. In addition, the sides A & B have been reversed to mimic a misprint. By the way the UK version is the ONLY Version with the good low end! All other versions have no low end to speak of. Cheers Robert

                  Side one actually begins with Love for tender... and side 2 with I can't stand up for falling down....
                  The paper labels on the record confirm this as do the CD reissues.
                  I have a copy that has a large black & white poster.

                    Never realised until this moment that the mark on the front cover is part of the artwork!
