So which edition is the original? Light grey or dark grey? Different revisions say different things. I've got the light gray and it says 1979 on the vinyl label. The second edition was supposedly released in 1980. Does it say on the label though? Or do both editions say 1979 on the label?

I've got both versions, and the dark grey version vinyl has a weight of 130g, whereas the light grey vinyl version only 120g. The dark grey sleeve is also heavier. The runout etchings are completely the same, so they came from the same master.

It's obvious that light grey is first press and dark grey is second press. What's confusing about the newsletter statement is that it sounds as the records was printed in three versions. Ie. a third printing going back to the light grey sleeves or rather a third printing reusing old sleeves (are the labels different then if that's the case?).Truly awesome record! Would have loved to hear the full album that was rumoured to be in the Factory vaults.

An old Factory newsletter I've got says "Sold out of the first 3,000 in second printing of sleeves, ie dark grey. Next 2 available now in first printing of sleeves ie light grey" which doesn't really clear things up at all, unfortunately.
