Initial pressings of disc 2 omitted the track O.D. Receiver. These packs were released with the Beggars Backfire Sticker on the cover. The second mispressing plays Bombers on the A side and matrix is BEG 8A but the label says Blue Eyes/O.D Receiver.The B side plays the correct tracks and has BEG 8B in the runout. The label is correct. So there are 2 "B" side labels on the record (Stuart Hall). |
