Got mine when album first came out - EP was bright white and it is now sludge pink. It is what it is, despite the SHOUTING. -
My side B runout (on the album) has "GAL" before the "PECKO". My side A runout matches the first variant of this pressing.
-
I am here to echo what totallyvinyl said about the miscolored 45s, my copy is perfectly white with only a couple flecks of black from stray material that must've stuck to the puck when it was pressed. -
-
I still own the original LP+7" that I bought on release and I also have a stock of the free singles which I obtained together in a joblot in 1993 and which ended up untouched in the backroom cupboard since then, every copy was white. WAS white!
I bought the album on CD and neglected digging out my copy of the vinyl for many years. When I eventually did pull out the vinyl again I was astonished to see that the white 7" had turned a sludgy brown. Further investigation with the copies in the backroom revealed that two of them had also turned colour but one remained white, to my relief.
This colour change has been seen on other artist's records, most commonly on picture discs or those pressed on clear 'vinyl'. On clear vinyl the colour change is usually to a brown, often referred to as tea-stained, [see picture examples on Squeeze - Another Nail In My Heart, AMS 7507].
It is a known phenomenon and not completely spurious. -
The debate about the 'white turned pink/beige' is COMPLETELY SPURIOUS ! Absolute rubbish. The reason there are variants is that with such a vast quantity being pressed in 'white' things got rushed at the pressing plant and the supposed pure white vinyl simply did NOT GET MIXED correctly. We have had quite a variety of shades of pink from virtually day one. Also a large quantity of white ones (overstocks with no insert and no LP) which were and still are pure white. OK-stick in a strong natural UV light source-i.e. the sun but not in direct sunlight and over some years it probably will slightly change colour. The pinkish ones are fairly rare in an approximate proportion of 30 white to 1 pink-no big deal.

Just bought a copy of the 7" EP (Free 9) that has turned an attractive mauve over time. I did buy it at a record shop; do you think the Rosslyn Park address will still want to "deal with them"?
-
I have a strange question: is that correct that "Walk on by" is the A-side of the 7"? My copy has "Mean..." and "Tits" on A-side (matrix A1) and "Walk..." on B-side (matrix B1). Maybe I have some unsubmitted version? "Walk..." is usually listed as A-side track with A1 matrices, but googling reveals that there exist more copies like mine. Grey vinyl LP version Black And White seems to have the same 7" like I do, because there is C-side matrix B1 and D-side A1. There must be some mess somewhere, it's too hard to believe that for some reason the matrix of A-side is B and vice versa. -
UK import version of the US (A&M) album came with off white( dirty pink hue)Free 9 single (while quantities lasted), so the “grey” marbled vinyl was available to the UK market.
-
I've got three copies of the bonus EP, two are pink (one bought pink in 1979) and one is very white, bought in the 90's..
Why havn't the white one turned pink then?
