Additional Information

Comments Specific features:
- initial label code "0121" is blackened, and a new one "4281" is printed above it,
- two pressing rings visible on labels: one around the spindle hole, approx. 32mm in diameter, and the other outside pressing ring, approx. 13-14mm wide, measured from labels' edge inwards,
- runout inscriptions contain stamped and etched parts. The main matrix no's string "R/S Alsdorf 99143 A[plus number]/B[plus number]" is stamped. The rest of inscriptions is etched, except for "STRAWBERRY (G)/G" that can be either stamped or etched, depending on the side, e.g. variant 11: etched "STRAWBERRY G" on side A vs. stamped "STRAWBERRY (G)" on side B. "STRAWBERRY (G)/G" can easily be misinterpreted as zero "0" or letter "C", depending on how well it was stamped/etched onto the surface

Similar GEMA pressings with the same catalogue number and the same price codes. Mainly differ one from the other due to minor labels' info and/or layout differences:
[url=http://www.discogs.com/release/8357066]Release 8357066[/url] - only one with original label code LC 0121 (not striked through)
[url=http://www.discogs.com/release/2483264]Release 2483264[/url] - only one that does not have 2nd cat# (V-2185) on label
[url=http://www.discogs.com/release/2277278]Release 2277278[/url] - Almost like the next (10191068), but minimal layout differences (Artist/Title a bit larger) [CURRENTLY VIEWED VERSION]
[url=http://www.discogs.com/release/10191068]Release 10191068[/url] - Almost like above (2277278) - minimal layout differences (Artist/Title), "Face Value" almost completely inside the pressing ring around the spindle hole. In addition A side runouts with STRAWBERRY, B side runouts with TOWNHOUSE.
[url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1547459]Release 1547459[/url] - only one with LC on top right position on label, text on rim has 3 lines / languages
