        I have a variation on this 2LP that does not seem to be listed anywhere. It is an early pressing, possibly earlier than the generally accepted first pressing. On my copy the label on side D that was replaced as mentioned above, has the same credit on all four sides - that is the copyright credit says P: 1990 big life records and c: 1991 big life records. the ring wording, "all rights of the producer and of the owner" and so on are in a block under the P&C credits they are not in a standed ring around the edge of the label. There are no credits to WAU! Mr Modo on any of the labels although it says on the back sleeve p: & c: 1991 Wau! Mr Modo the copyright in these sound recordings is owned by WAU! Mr Modo big life records are the exclusive licensees for the world. The Matrix in the runoffs are the same as the ones listed here, though I cannot see the word DAMONT. I suspect this is a very early pressing that did not go to market and a later one was then issued which had WAU! Mr Modo copyright credit on the label and the ring wording in its standard place as a ring around the label perimeter. It does not contain the freepost card to mailing list, but this may have got lost over time. If anyone can shed any light on this, I would appreciate.

          We are short of " Spanish Castles in space" to make up the set of 4 from the Orb live 93 set on island.

                So, I when this first came out there were 2 sealed versions, a single lp and a double lp sealed in a black vinyl sleeve with sticker on it or a blue vinyl sleeve with sticker. You had to literally cut the top open to get the record out to play. I cannot see these listed here.
                Anybody else recall these? How Ltd are they?

                  How do you distinguish between this version and the special classical pressing if you do not have a cover?
                  The matrix numbers look the same to me.

                    I have something of a mystery here, I have this double LP as above everything the same, but also with it I have two other vinyls with the same Codes/matrix run outs, same track listings but different labels, One label is a lilac/ light purple not deep blue, on both sides, on the other record there is the correct deep blue record label on one side and what looks like the wrong label altogether on the other side, its a Dee Jay Recordings JBL picture label, which is a Drum N Base Label, nothing to do with Big Life. So in a nut shell i have one cover 2 pairs of vinyls both pairs with same track listing and codes, but both pairs with different labels. Can anyone shed any light?
