Description
This is a very rare repress, it has MR in a circle stamped on each runout, it also has a delta symbol followed by 99069-X etched on each side as well as 14003 (14003 A) etched on Tainted Love 14003 (14003 B) on My Bad Boy’s Comin’ Home. Light marks on VG+ styrene, some label rubbing, nice bright audio. The difference between this and the myriad of other 70’s versions is that it has the official MR stamp and an extra delta catalogue number in the run outs like the original pressing, but the delta number is different which represents the release date, the other 70’s pressings only have one matrix number and the letters AZ etched usually. It was thought that there were only 2 official pressings on Champion, however this version was added by Discogs a few years ago but had been merged with another version. I’m convinced it is not an unofficial pressing because of the above and the crisper sound quality, it very rarely comes up for sale, this is only the second one I’ve seen in over 30 years. I’ve tried my best to show pictures of the all important matrices etc.
