1983-85 Capitol rainbow band label with rim text inside colorband.

There are 2 80s Black Capitol rainbow band label variations. 

This one was pressed 1983-1985 at Capitol's Jacksonville plant as identified by a "0" in the matrix runout. Both sides stamped MASTERED BY CAPITOL. On some pressings that stamp is only on one of the sides. The label has a dull label finish and has the classic 1" diameter inner-ring notch that surrounds the spindle hole. The vinyl is a little more firm than the SRC pressings, and some pressings are translucent (hold the disc up to a bright light and you can seed through it).

(The other pressing, 1986-87, were pressed at Specialty Record Corporation (The large S surrounding R and C stamped in the run-out), also identified by smooth indent/notch approx 3/4" from edge of label and glossy finish. The SRC pressings also have more etching data on the run-out. The vinyl is a little more flexible/bendy than the Capitol pressings.)

There is an etched name in the run-outs just before "MASTERED BY CAPITOL" that appears to say "gene", possibly referring to Capitol master engineer Gene Thompson (see photo). Also, on this pressing the Winchester matrix ID stamp —? is also visible on side 2 matrix areas but has NOT been scratched out.

Has the Capitol "C" logo and EMI box logo with related text at the bottom of jacket, and the Apple logo has been removed.

Issued in posterboard stock. Disc came in clear rice paper inner sleeve.
