it took me quite a while to finally find this one !! this single is in MINT condition. for anyone who hasn't seen the single, the version of "Stick To Your Guns" is the ORIGINAL version of the song....it's different than the version on the Leathür copy of Too Fast For Love.... believe it or not, the band used to throw these out into the crowd at their shows just so people could hear their music !!
this record was pressed under the "Leather" label. the band changed the name to "Leathür" after the single was pressed. from what i understand, the band only pressed 1,000 copies of this one.
as most collectors know, there is also a bootleg copy of this single floating around. here are the best ways to figure out if the single is real or not
The Cover (Real)
- glossy cover
- white outline boarders around the photos on the back of the sleave. detailed images
The Cover (Bootleg)
- dull photo copied cover! back sleeve is photocopied
The Vinyl (Real)
- glitter on the center white label (look at in in the sun) less glitter more handling, more glitter on it less played less
handled
- color of the vinyl is lighter in color than the bootleg. the thickness of the original is relatively thin.
- the MATRIX NUMBERS on the vinyl. this is the key.
- Side A: L-5354, MC 001 A, R-7224, JS XTAL
- Side B: L-5354-X, MC 001 B, R-7225, JS XTAL
- On side B the "L" in L-5354-X, is superimposed over an "R". The "R" is fainter than the "L". It looks as if the "R" was a mistake and the "L" was etched over it. The "L" is slightly deeper into the vinyl than the "R" beneath it.
The Vinyl (Bootleg)
- Side A matrix numbers: DHP-1, L20462-A
- Side B matrix numbers: DHP-2, L20462-B
- center white label just peels up, no glitter on it.
- vinyl is jet black and is THICKER than the original.
