MOTLEY CRUE 

Too Fast For Love 

" SUPER RARE " LEATHUR LP 2rd pressing Alternative #2 Red logo and white labels

FOUR versions. All with there own unique insert/lyric sheet. In addition, Vince's hair is different on all four and Nikki uses two different poses.

First Press - All black and white cover (Insert #1)

Second Press Alternate Insert - Red logo and white labels (Insert #2)

Second Press - Red logo and white labels (Insert #3)

Third Press - Red logo and black labels (Insert #4)

People hadn't realised that there were in fact two versions that had "Red logo and white labels". This means that the press known as the Third Press (Red logo and black labels) may not actually be the third version but by now it's so well known as the Third Press that you can't change the name anyway. As a solution to tell the two versions with "Red logo and white labels" apart we now have two versions of the second press, the Second Press Alternate Insert and the Second Press.

In the MÖTLEY CRÜE video documentary from 2012 called "MÖTLEY CRÜE : Audiobiography Episode 1. - Too Fast For Love" Vince Neil confirmed that there are four versions of the Too Fast For Love album on Leathür Records

FIRST PRESS

The First Press is the rarest and most valuable. Only 900 copies were made.* The most recognizable characteristic is the all black and white album cover. Another unique feature is that there are no sunglasses on the the back of the album (as seen on all the other versions) and Vince has the same "big" hair as on the insert. The vinyl has white labels.

On the insert you can clearly see the cut out around Vince's hair. The cut out is darker than the background so it really stands out. When looking at it, the cut out becomes a part of the hair making it look big and weird. Vince wasn't happy when he saw it and for the Second Press this was changed. Also on the insert you can see cut outs around every members hair, not just on Vince's. In addition Nikki is standing with his arms folded across his chest.

* According to most sources

SECOND PRESS ALTERNATE INSERT

New for this version was that the band name and album title were now printed in red on the cover. They've also added a picture of Vince's sunglasses in the middle of the back of the album. Also on the back, Vince's hair is different compared to the back of the First Press but the same as on all the other versions. The vinyl has white labels on this version too.

On the insert, Vince's hair is the same as on the First Press insert but the cut out now blends in much better with the background, you can hardly see any cut out at all. So even though the photo is the same, Vince's hair now looks natural. Nikki is standing with his arms folded across his chest on this insert.

SECOND PRESS

The album cover has the same upgraded features as the Second Press Alternate Insert. The labels on the vinyl are still white. The insert is different. Vince's hair has a unique retouch to this insert and Nikki uses a different pose, he's now pointing one of his arms straight out.

[To make the Second Press even more complicated/interesting, Second Pressings with First Press inserts also exist (several copies have been seen).]

THIRD PRESS

The Third Press cover looks like the second pressings but with one significant difference. On the bottom of the back of the album it says "Greenworld Distribution, Torrance, California". The vinyl has black labels, this is unique to the Third Press. Another unique feature is that the word "LOVE" in the title Too Fast For Love on the labels has dots over "O" (Ö), just like in the MÖTLEY CRÜE logo.

On the insert, Vince's hair is yet again altered and is unique to this insert and Nikki is pointing one of his arms straight out.

GREENWORLD RECORDS

On January 29, 1982 MÖTLEY CRÜE signed a deal with Greenworld Records Limited who manufactured and distributed the Third Press Leathür Records LP and the remaining stock of the First and Second Pressings (often seen with a green sticker on the cover that says "Greenworld Distribution"). The album was part of what is referred to as a "pressing & distribution" deal, meaning that the band retained ownership of the masters while Greenworld had the rights to manufacture
