COLLECTIBLES: The First Single (continued)

Left: As for the vinyl, the first two variations are almost identical, so only the first is shown. Both of these are hard to find, having been released independently, and only minor variations on the printed label are noticed. The liner notes to "All the Best" claims that there were other colored labels besides red. UPDATE! I found one with an off-white (cream) label (below). It came with the second version of the sleeve. Anyone with another color? I know of Yellow and GREEN (thanks Randy!) existing.



Right: The final and most common variation is the version released by Rough Trade, with their logo clearly visible. Subsequent singles on Rough Trade had the same format. These singles are fairly easy to find from record dealers, as long as you are willing to pay their inflated prices!
