Had a sweet discovery today. While I suspected colour variation in the pressing of the Firestone “Element” LP, I could only make assumptions. Today I found the proof that can clear all assumptions and create facts. This LP was pressed by Sober Mind Records in the late nineties. Copies were numbered out of 110 with the usual stamp in blue ink on the centre label. They didn’t make distinction between the obviously two totally different copies. I can say even more. There were also in between copies or transitional copies made. Look at the photos below for the proof of all facts I discovered!

Feels like a great achievement having these all together!
