Description

US Mer Records 601 1977. This is a repress of the original single, probably issued in 1977 or later. Vinyl is thinner than the first press and the labels have white lettering while the original has silver/grey , also paper is more matte and all characters have a clearer definition . In particular the specifics about editions on left side on side 2 is out of focus and not perfectly readable. Second press has inner groove matrix HAND WRITTEN while the original is partially machine stamped. In plain white die-cut sleeve, paper labels, large centre hole. Side A says Hey Joe but plays Piss Factory, side B says Piss Factory but plays Hey Joe. Side A has minor surface mark which does not sound, hence lower grading. Scarce! Hey Joe (Version) 5.05/ Piss Factory 4.41.
