Frank, I think you will find this of interest! So I cracked open a sealed Shaved Fish.... 1)NO sticker on cover 2)Apple logo back cover , john and yoko credits only for Cold Turkey 3)Lyric Inner sleeve has "masturbation" instead of "mastication" for Give Peace A chance and lastly and most interesting (at least to me!) A 1978 Purple label "Mfd" print......but they label looked odd! Very shiny label! Checked the matrix closely and among an "x" in a circle hand etched, the word "JAM" hand etched was also "EMW" also hand etched which is the etching for Electrosound Group Midwest which started pressing records in 1979. This begs to question......why would this lp need subcontracted out? Los Angeles, Jacksonville and Winchester were still pressing this record on the Purple label...... Was this made maybe early 1981 after the terrible events of December 8,1980?? Was there some unexpected demand that Capitol didn't think they could keep up with?? Anyway, I'm sure a minority of collectors will find this of interest but it is still an interesting tidbit in discovering Pressing variations! |
