Question about the Pictures On My Wall single

by **starsabove** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:09 pm

I've got the 7 inch that came free with the Songs to Learn and Sing LP. It has the black/silver label with the cage 004 mark. And it says Mar'1979. I guess that might confuse the uninitiated!

There's deffo no words on the runoff other than cage 004 and some v. small letters *mt

Okay, on all three of my copies, the A side is "The Pictures On My Wall." The B side is "Read It In Books."

On both the lighter blue and darker blue striped copies:

(A Side) The runoff is etched with: CAGE 004-A, LYN 6542-IM, MAX
(B Side) The runoff is etched with: CAGE 004-B, THE REVENGE OF VOODOO BILLY, LYN 6543-IM, MAX

On the silver/black (reissue) copy:

(A Side) The runoff is etched with: CAGE 004-A-1, *MT* L (note: the 4 is written over a 6)
(B Side) The runoff is etched with: CAGE 004-B+, *MT ankh symbol

I agree with tomo that the sleeves on the non-reissue copies have a stronger red and more defined design. However, the Balfe, Drummond reference is present only on the sleeve of the reissue copy, not on the others.

The mystery continues.... :biggrin:

-original
-yellow & blue reissue
-silver & black reissue

the first copy i bought says 'produced by the chameleons'

the other copy i have says 'produced by the chameleons (balfe, drummond)'

problem solved??

mine are that way too, pete! both of the lighter blue ones just say produced by the chameleons, and the darker blue one says balfe and drummond on it! so i'd say the lighter blue ones are definitely the first ones! i totally forgot about that, i remember noticing it when i first bought my voodoo billy run-off one, earlier this year.

the weird thing is tho, i don't have the black/silver one. the one i got as a freebie is the darker blue one! (at least i'm like 99% sure.....i'd have to look farther in my stack of bunny 7 inches, but i don't think i have a black/silver one)

Grrrrrrrr why are they doing this to me.

So is there a super secret, really, really, original version of "Street to Street" that I also wasn't aware of?

Come again?

So, when we figure out the Read It In Books mystery, can we move on to the Rescue single release?

tomo, does the sleeve that you have that references balfe/drummond have the cut out in the front or in the back? :question:

by cut out do you mean the sort of slot where you can get ahold of the record? all 3 of mine are in the back, but the one on the balfe one is a different shape than the two non/balfe ones.

this is enough to make ya cRaZy!

and let's not even mentioin the Rescue singles!!! :lol:

Yes, the cut out means sort of slot. I thought maybe it meant something or would give us a definitive clue according to what tomo replied, but now I can't remember my theory. LOL! My balfe one is in the back, but I'm not sure of the shape. I'll check later. :mrgreen:

Edit: Yes, my balfe (silver/black label) copy cut out is different from the cut outs on the other two copies I have. However, all three copies have different shaped cut outs.

the balfe/drummond one has the cutout on the back..

the chameleons one (original) has the cutout on the bunnygod front side..

just wondering why we all own multiple copies of this single?

'cause we're retarded? I'm definitely getting the voodoo one in addition to the one I have.

by **tomo** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 1:38 pm

dunno do i?

maybe though haha... i've got 3 copies 2 of which i've never played or and never likely to!

I bought this one. It at least has the Voodoo Billy thing, but i don't see a cutout on the front. I guess when it arrives I'll see about the drummond/balfe thing

I had no idea this would be so complicated :eek:

On the other hand, it gives you some interesting data for your internet-best discography.

This the one I'm referring to as the lighter/medium blue version. Congrats on your purchase. :lol:
