The first one (Blowing my mind to pieces) I bought was the yellow pressing. Years later I got the proper one and think it is gold (or orangey, if thats a word). So it could be the orangey gold first, then the yellow pressing.

Brilliant record. happy memories (highland room first time heard it for me).

I'll try and find it and let you know.

that would be great, aiming to buy one end of month (yes i know its only the first but the monthly allowance goes so quickly these days, already done this months)

always prefer to make sure i get the first issue where i can

[Louis]

Gave you duff info, after looking through my boxes the original is yellow with two hands clasped at the top of Trans, whereas the yellow boot just has the writing Trans records (for some reason I was thinking of Lenis guess Just ask me (same era) as the boot was orange and the original gold Doh!)

Seem to remember an orange one with the hands on, same as the yellow one.

[Guest Andy Kempster]

what about the yellow Trans without hands?

There's a thread about this record here:

[Guest MrC]

Great double sider though

[Guest Andy Kempster]

so......

my impression so far

orange trans american with hands = original

yellow trans american with hands = legit 2nd press

yellow trans without hands = boot

the plot thickens

[Guest Paul]

what about the yellow Trans without hands?

Hell Andy,

I think we discussed this on soulsource before and my suggestion was that it may have been a reissue rather than a pirate because it used the original stampers (or at least new stampers made from the original positives).

It's just a possibility and may never be established one way or another.

yellow trans-american (with hands) ...first press

orange trans-american (with hands)...2nd press

[Guest giant]

what about the yellow Trans without hands?

100% boot

[Kjw]

I thought there were 2 yellow copies on Trans American - one is the original first press with a distinct matrix markings and the other is a bootleg.

Orange press came second.

Thought the Trans Am copies were also bootlegs.

So 4 copies in all.
