BEGA 40 No 'Dance' Labels. Utopia Pressing.



In preperation for BEGA 28 release, Beggars had custom labels produced for Dance, a lot of them. It didn't sell as well as expected.
(It only reached number 3 in the charts). Beggars were stuck with an abundance of these unused labels.
So, to cut their losses, they used the excess for I,Assassin. Once they were exhausted, a small batch were printed with 'Dance' omitted.
