Floyd's Of London
(RARING RECORDS 404 C/D)
S1: ONE OF THESE DAYS/FAT OLD SUN
S2:
ECHOES
SQ: VERY GOOD MONO
COMMENTS: US BOOTLEG WITH PLAIN WHITE COVER AND PAPER INSERT. THIS ALBUM RECENTLY APPEARED ON EBAY AND IS A REPACKAGE OF THE SECOND DISC OF ‘ECLIPSED’ (RUTHLESS RHYMES 404A/D) - WHICH WAS ALSO RELEASED WITH RARING CROSS LABELS – USING A DIFFERENT PAPER INSERT. THERE IS A FAINT POSSIBILITY THAT THIS WAS DUE TO AN OVERRUN OF THE SECOND ‘ECLIPSED’ DISC. HOWEVER, IT IS MUCH MORE LIKELY THAT IT IS JUST A STRAY DISC FROM THE ORIGINAL ‘ECLIPSED’ PRESSING WITH A ONE OFF HOME MADE INSERT. THE REASONING BEHIND THIS IS THAT THE SOURCE AND TRACK INFORMATION, ALONG WITH THE SONG SEPARATION COMMENT AND CBM CATALOGUE NUMBER (ON THE INSERT) HAVE BEEN COPIED VERBATIM FROM AN OLD HOT WAX BOOTLEG DISCOGRAPHY WHICH LISTED THE WRONG RUNNING ORDER, RECORDING DATE AND SONG TITLE (FAT OLD MAN!). THE PEOPLE BEHIND ‘RARING CROSS’ VINYL PRESSINGS (TMOQ2) GOT ALL THE INFORMATION CORRECT ON THE ORIGINAL RELEASE (ECLIPSED), AND IT SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONSULT HOT WAX FOR THE (WRONG) INFO ON THIS RELEASE.
RARITY RATING: *****
