Original UK pressing of MGM CS 8108 with 50/50 yin-yang label configuration, VU's beautiful third album, in its super rare UK incarnation, with what was then the wrong mix. 2YMG 291-1G, 2YMG 292-1G matrices. All other contemporary versions were pressed using Lou Reed's remix (the so called 'closet mix' for obvious reasons). It would seem that somehow MGM sent EMI Val Valentin's original mix instead. Not only generally cleaner, defined and open, there is a different take of Some Kinda Love. Someone in the EMI art department was having fun too, turning the reverse image for a horizontal split, and rearranging the text to suit. Billy Name is credited for Photos.
Extremely rare, there were estimated to be a mere 300 of these pressed.
