It was the UP tracklist but with tracks sourced from demos and live takes. I didn't buy it. Found it on discogs though https://www.discogs.com/...easures/release/12581689 Released last year… and coincidentally (or not) with a red vinyl disc. I imagine it's in reasonably wide circulation.

I'm sure there must be a gazillion other bootlegs that have done this (for sure there are bootleg t shirts etc that have) but I'm quite surprised they haven't done it "officially" so far. Unless they actually have.

Unless they actually have. On the original Factory release, they did use a black on white image for the record label on the 'Inside' side, with the standard (white on black) version on the 'Outside' side. What's rather nice about the new version, is that they've also inverted both the inner sleeve and the record labels (so that the 'Inside' is white on black and the 'Outside' is black on white). Oh, and I'm guessing that the ruby red vinyl is to celebrate its 'ruby' anniversary (40 years).

I liked how the insert was inverted. I was interested to find out whether they would have inverted the door pic back to normal (since it’s inverted on the original) but it’s the same. Originally Posted by: perspexorange Oh, and I'm guessing that the ruby red vinyl is to celebrate its 'ruby' anniversary (40 years). Ah good point! No download code in mine: not that I need another digital copy but that seems quite unusual for a new vinyl release these days. Edited by user 18 June 2019 23:02:26(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
