Posted June 18, 20168 yr Could anyone tell me if there is a difference in sound quality or value between the black text and the silver text? Cheers Tony

I hope that helps PAUL Thanks for this Paul - I've tried to try and see if there is a difference on Youtube but to no avail - two with Silver text and I think one is better quality. I wonder which came out first? T
June 18, 20168 yr According to Manship 'the silver text is rarer'....but that still doesn't answer your question, sorry.

Also an initial run of 500 copies which I suspect is the silver text as that is the one photographed in the article (it is also the same as the text on the Lost Soul record)
June 19, 20168 yr Odd that some say the black ones don't have the fault, 99% sure they all do, though the level of the pressing fault may be different between the two formats. I had a copy of the black text format (in my first book) and this had it. One of the band members sent me a sound file of a re-edited version he did in recent years, slightly cleaned up and pitched at the original intended speed.

Could anyone tell me if there is a difference in sound quality or value between the black text and the silver text?
