This is the 1986 pressing of "Always Now" LP from Factory Records (Fact 45).


There are actually 2 different pressings and 2 different covers = 3 different editions. This listing is for the 3rd one:


- Matchbook like sleeve slick and glossy, not textured like 1st and 2nd edition..

- Printed inner sleeve has a blue-ish touch, not the rather purple like of 1st and 2nd edition.

- Record labels have an broad elevated ring, like 2nd (the 1st edition labels are flat)

- Vinyl is lighter and thinner than the 1st edition (like 2nd edition).

- Runout inscriptions are exactly the same for all pressings.

- No red seal, 1st and 2nd editions have one.


Overall: 3rd edition = 2nd edition "labels" and vinyl and different cover.


Recorded at Britannia Row in February 1981.
