Reviews

  • baxlovesmusic
    I have a copy of this variant that matches the description and pictures here exactly, except the matrix / runout ends with just "M1" rather than "M1S22" or "M1S26". It's incredibly hard to read, too, more than any of the other mould code / SID code text on the same disc. I'm wondering, is it somehow faded, or does anyone else have a copy that ends with just "M1"?
