Chalky Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 The Jean Carter Sunflower is Detroit. Isn't the lab design a sunflower, yellow petals on dark background. Aren't all the jean carter poor recordings too and only a few hundred pressed because of this? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Here is the Love Hangover side. All of these pressings are pretty terrible - I have had quite a few and some have skipped. Probably the worst pressing I have seen on a 45.
