My dear fellow collectors,
This time a question about the UK release of The Promise. I know of the golden sleeves for the 7" and the 12" (with or without poster). But i read that the 7" also has a grey variant of sleeve and the 12" a blue variant. Can someone confirm this?
Would those be later pressings?
Many thanks as always, Peter

Guille's site shows the grey / blue variant of the 12". Not sure I've heard of one like that for the 7" from the UK.

i know with 100% certainty that there's a blue UK 12"...
...& checking then all of my copies (the 2 gold ones & the blue one) have the same matrix numbers on both sides.
& i'm pretty certain that it was just an alt rather than a later pressing.

Thanks a lot. Funny that the golden ones are allover the place while the other ones are not so frequently seen...

My recollection is that it was a far more ltd version at the time.
Oh, & i've never seen or heard of a grey UK pressing of the 7" myself... So unless it's something that's been hiding from me for the last 28-9 years...
...a bit like the non-gatefold version of MEP did (albeit not for quite that long).

The only blue / gray 7" sleeve I'm aware of is the South African 7" (I have this)

That is the only blue 7" i know of, all the others are grey (except for the golden UK one of course). :-)
