Precisions On Drew Question

[Billy Jo Jim Bob]

In the dim and distant past I seem to recall being told that Such Misery came out on both Styrene and Vinyl pressings and that the Vinyl copy was much harder to locate.

Could anyone confirm if this is right or wrong or am I completely talking out of my passage ?

Thanks

Drew 1001 "Such Misery",only on styrene, I have never seen a vinyl copy. 

 

Drew 1002 "Why Girl/What I want" did come out on a vinyl copy as well as the normal styrene. 

 

Drew1003  "If This Is Love" was only on styrene.

 

After that the label was not part of Sidra records anymore.  Sounds like there was a time gap before the label started again distributed by Laurie records.

Also Drew 1002 "Sugar Ain't Sweet" is on vinyl only

Nice thick vinyl as well if memory serves me correctly.

I had one on vinyl, dinner plate stuff weight wise. Label was pressed off centre though - were they all like this on the vinyl copies?

I had one of the heavy vinyl copies and it was fine from what I remember.

Thanks chaps.

I remember (vaguely) being at a venue around 15 years ago looking through a sales box and saw a pretty poor copy of the Precisions. When I asked why it was in the box for so much in poor condition the seller said that it was a vinyl copy and much rarer. I was a bit sceptical but then a well known dealer came up picked the record out and bought it straight away.

The reason I ask is that I just bought a spare from the US and the seller said he thought it was vinyl.

I seem to remember vinyl pressing of all 5 releases pressed at RCA Midwest or RCA Pennsylvania. with Styrene pressings of all being pressed at Monarch.
