Description
Mötley Crüe “Too Fast for Love” (Leathür Records, LR/1281-2 & M/C1281-2) 1981, with Japan Promo Sheet Dated 1982
From my personal collection. I’m fairly certain this is a second pressing from 1981:
Band name in red on the front cover
Sunglasses in the center of the back cover
On the insert, Nikki's right arm is extended and Vince's hair has been retouched.
The spindle labels are white.
Matrix / Runout (Side 1): DK-1004-A PRC-C-1-1 kdisc
Matrix / Runout (Side 2d): DK-1004-B PRC-C-1-1 kdisc
Here's my theory about this album: This is a 1981 second pressing that, in 1982, someone at Greenworld Distribution gave to a representative of Superstop, Inc., a record distributor in Osaka, Japan. This second pressing was “remaining stock” when Greenworld Records Limited took over distribution of "Too Fast for Love" in January 1982. According to The Motley Crue Museum online:
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 and sell the records.
