Notes

Two versions of the green sleeved issue exist:
Version 1 (this) - (Dark) British racing green, bronze type & border.
Version 2 - (Lighter) forest green, gold type & border.

There were two different editions of the record released using this sleeve:
1) Original version of "Ceremony" (without Gillian Gilbert). Side A groove etching: "Watching Love Grow - Forever" (This One)
2) Re-recorded version of "Ceremony" (with Gillian Gilbert). Side A groove etching: "This Is Why Events Unnerve Me".
This version of the record was released in the new cream & blue sleeve, but there were green sleeves left over from the original pressing which were used rather than being discarded.

The cover and runoffs of the record states the catalogue number as FAC 33 (the same as the 7"), but the label state FAC 33/12, denoting the 12" release.

Although the centre labels have the date 22/1/81 as part of the artwork, this release came out in March.

MINT vinyl / VG++ cover with crease on left center of cover and right center back cover.

I am the original owner who worked at an indie record store in late 70's /early 80's and spent many a pay check collecting vinyl!

Part of my large private collection of mostly MINT, NEVER PLAYED records which have been stored safely since purchase and kept in a smoke free / pet free environment.

Rest assured the items I am selling are in the condition stated, and most never even hit the shelves of the store I worked in as I would buy straight out of the box and handle with care!

Regarding vinyl, if you would like the item taken out of the jacket cover to avoid any potential seam splits, please advise otherwise item will be packed as is but securely and in most cases should not be an issue with seam splits.
