I own an Irish pressing with etched into the runout groove.This is Carlton Pressing plant which used to press most Irish mass produced LPs.
Both records are translucent brown when held up to a strong light - This is often a tell tale sign to identify an Irish pressing - Worth a look out for! -
Edited 2 years agoNow you can watch the complete video edition with the bonus tracks from the t 1 and 2 VHS which the rule for my bonus tracks segment was it had to be the bonus tracks within the date of album 1 to qualify as it was a t VHS the first one was.
Enjoy
Make that 95 tracks now found more versions since.
