       Manufactured and Distributed by Plastic Head  www.plastichead.com  Issued under licence from Candlelight Records.  ℗ Candlelight Records 2002 © Back On Black 2011

    - INNERSLEEVES: black paper innersleeves, die-cut to show the center labels and all corners clipped (the original innersleeves)

    - RELEASED: Reissue released in 2011 based on the runouts and the copyright text.

    - OTHER: Includes ad, originally released sealed with sticker on the shrinkwrap.

    - NOTE 1: The vinyl colour is not mentioned anywhere on this release.

    - NOTE 2: The pressing quality is not the best GZ I've seen: the second record is pressed slightly off-center and both records have many small bumps on their playing

                     surface.

                     The cuttting quality is not the best one either and this album is a model example of an earbleeder: I get tinnitus after listening just any one 

                     song from this album. I wouldn't recommend these LPs to anyone.

    - NOTE 3: The paper innersleeves barely fit in to the gatefold cover with the LPs, the gatefold cover is simply a little too small for them.

    - OTHER: Includes ad, originally released sealed with sticker on the shrinkwrap.

    - NOTE 1: The vinyl colour is not mentioned anywhere on this release.

    - NOTE 2: The pressing quality is definitely not the best GZ I've seen: both records are warped and have many small bumps on their playing surface making them 

                      unplayable.

                      The cuttting quality is not the best one either and this album is a model example of an earbleeder: I get tinnitus after listening just any one song from this

                      album. I wouldn't recommend these LPs to anyone.

    - NOTE 3: The paper innersleeves barely fit in to the gatefold cover with the LPs, the gatefold cover is simply a little too small for them. 

    - NOTE 4: The vinyl are not pure white, they are more like cream white like the white vinyl of Record Industry is as well.

    - RELEASED: Reissue released in 2011 based on the runouts and the copyright text.

    - OTHER: Includes ad, originally released sealed with sticker on the shrinkwrap.

    - NOTE 1: The vinyl colour is not mentioned anywhere on this release.

    - NOTE 2: The pressing quality is not the best GZ I've seen: A-side is slightly pressed off-center and there are small bumps on the B-side.

                     The cuttting quality is not the best possible either and the biggest thing wrong with this LP is the fact this is a model example of an earbleeder: I get tinnitus

                     after listening just any one song from this LP.

                     I compared this against a loosless CD rip with the same speakers and the CD rip sounded WAAAAAAY better. Also, I can find Youtube videos that sound

                     a lot better than this LP.

                     Especially the high frequencies are simply so wrong on this one. I wouldn't recommend this LP to anyone. 

    - NOTE 3: The paper innersleeve barely fits in to the gatefold cover with the LP, the gatefold cover is simply a little too small for them both.
