Side By Side - You're Only Young Once...

PRESSING INFORMATION :

(First) Test Pressing :
Pressed by [l364352].
8 copies were made on black vinyl with blank white center labels. Each copy was hand stamped in black ink with "SIDE BY SIDE TEST PRESSING" on the center label of one side of the record and came housed in a white paper dust sleeve.

First Pressing :
A total of 2,017 copies were pressed on black vinyl. There were actually two pressings made about a week apart from each other. The first pressing was 1,005 copies. The second pressing was 1,012 copies. So technically these are two separate pressings, but they are exactly the same and were made so close to each other that they generally referred to all together as the first pressing. There is no way to tell them apart from each other. The side A center labels on this version are white with black text. The cover is a fold-over cover that opens up at the top. Some copies of the first pressing came with one of eight different stickers.

(Second) Test Pressing :
Pressed by [l100643].
8 copies were made on black vinyl with Rainbo Records center labels and came housed in a white paper dust sleeve.
There is a possibility that the recording was remixed at this point as well before this new version was cut. The original version is known to have a rougher sound to it.

Second Pressing :
This is generally referred to as the "second pressing", although it was actually recut and pressed now for the first time by a completely different pressing plant and from new plates. Technically this would be the first pressing of this new version of the release, but no one seems to refer to it as that. 2,000 copies were pressed on black vinyl. The side A center labels on this version are silver with black text. The cover is a fold-over cover that looks exactly like the first pressing, except that it opens up from the bottom, instead of at the top.

Third Pressing :
Technically this is the second pressing of the second version of this release, but it is generally only referred to as the "third pressing". 2,000 copies were pressed on black vinyl. The side A center labels on this version are grey with black text. The cover is a fold-over cover that opens at the top and looks exactly like the first pressing, except the back cover now has a black border that runs entirely around it.
