Modern Life Is Rubbish (mispressing)

~ Release by Blur (see all versions of this release, 19 available)

Annotation

This is a mis-pressing, on vinyl, of two Blur LPs, Modern Life is Rubbish (FOODLP9) and Leisure (FOODLP6). All packaging and the labels indicate that this was intended to be a copy of Modern life, but the wrong two masters were placed on the pressing machine that day.

The two discs are easily identified by their run-off markings, clearly showing two different catalogue numbers.

No idea how many of these escaped the factory on to the market, but I guess mine isn't the only copy to have done so.
