I'm very curious to see what turns up today anyway! Worst comes to worst, I'll throw it on Discogs for the median price of around £30 haha!
More importantly, glad it seems that you have a 'playable' copy anyway chief. The other slightly odd feature on my existing one is that there are what look like spots of blood on the centre labels! I think it's actually spattered hot red wax droplets, but I can't deny it looks kinda cool ;-)

I imagine it's a similar thing for Rarewaves, a couple boxes of unsold stuff are found in the distrib hub and the word goes out to retailers/they have their own connection to grab stuff up somehow.ScoJo wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 8:36 am Their disclaimer was more along the lines of 'issues with the hand pressed flame edition of 500, so most were junked but some were deemed ok and sold on proviso that you are aware of the issue' (also paraphrased!)That's probably closer to it! I have visually inspected LP1 and there are clearly some pits (craters, more like) under the labels, but the grooves look ok. That's still not much use to you, given you already have a copy. Should have known when it seemed too good to be true. It still seems strange that they've made it out to retail after all this time.
