Notes

Pirate version of Closer.

First Category on sleeve (spine and back cover), 2nd on labels, 3rd from runouts.

The outer sleeve and the labels look the same as the official 1980 Factory UK vinyl release.

Includes single sheet insert with printing on both sides, one side has the song lyrics.
The printing company on the insert (Clifford Press) was taken from the UK/Euro remastered LP edition and is of course fake too.

Available on black or marbled grey, purple, blue or brown (this version) vinyl. A misprinted black edition also exists.

Probably from Germany.

Notes

Three-panel inlay printed black and white both sides on glossy white paper stock. Clear cassette with white paper labels. Housed in plastic box.

This is very similar to this version, which is identical except that it is printed on heavy matte paper stock and has a 'marble' effect on the paper labels.

Produced at Britannia Row.
