I have a question: I have 2 lp's of this release: www.discogs.com/Duran-Duran-Notorious/master/87611On discogs this is the only release with category number: 062 24 0659 1 Today I bought an extra copy, but now I see it differs from the one I originally bought in 1987. The one I had has grey coloured (letters in the Name Duran Duran on the front cover) but the one I bought today has the name in actual silver letters! On discogs this is not mentioned, so I will add this release there soon, but does anyone here know which one was first? Thanks in advance for all the responses... oh, and of course have a great DD14 new year!

I tend to think the silver 'embossed' ones were first printed, don't know why but it is just a feeling. As for UK pressings the matrixnumbers could be useful, but that is a little harder with Dutch and German releases.
Only saw those silver ones in Germany (also the club edition), UK and USA. Wait... Maybe also one of the Taiwanese, but i have to check that.
I wonder if there are UK and US pressings with grey instead of silver...

I checked, and noticed the Taiwanese pressing has grey printed texts, both 'Duran' as well as 'Notorious', housed in a very thick carton sleeve.

Although my copy from the UK has silver letters, I am pretty sure that the UK has also (additional) pressings with grey letters. My copy from Holland has a grey DURAN, and I bought it here in Germany when it came out in late 1986. I have seen that Guille has a German (as Peter said Club Edition) with silver, but it has a diffrent cat-# (14 119 2) and he has also a Dutch one with silver, which probably came later than the grey one as it has Tour dates on it... see here: www.durancollection.com/disco/duran/notorious/notoriouslps.htm

What are club releases if I may ask?
I bought my copy (grey letters) on the day of release, so I also expect that the silver ones are from a later date.

Club releases are releases sold by record / book clubs like in Holland ECI. ECI, however, is too small to have records released with their own catalog number. In Germany are, as far as i know, club releases for Seven, Arena and Notorious. By this i mean the vinyl releases. Maybe more titles exist for cd releases. In the US i know of Colombia and RCA club releases.
Maybe other people have more or specific info.
