Runaway Boys 7" single part II

A few more Runaway Boys pressings to the gallery.

Holland  102621
The basic version, regular cover.

Ariola centre label version, still regular cover.

Green vinyl, regular cover.

Clear vinyl, regular cover.

There are, at least, light brown/peach, limegreen and mintgreen vinyl versions. I remember seeing a red vinyl long ago, but can´t be 100% sure.

The strange thing is that all these singles have on their matrix a little stamped text "Made in Germany". So pressed
in Germany for Dutch market.


Japan  7RS-11 manufactured and distributed by Nippon Phonogram
Typical beautiful Japanese vinyl release with totally different cover art. There are lyrics on the backside of cover leaflet and single itself is housed in Arista blue-grey company sleeve. There is a white label promo with very special "wrap-around" promo sleeve containing pics and info of artist but I´m still hunting for that one.


Scandinavia     Scat 1
Now, this one is a little strange. It is pressed in Germany but not for German or Dutch sales. If my memory and info are correct this was pressed for Scandinavian market. Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Later these Scandinavian vinyls were mainly pressed in Holland. If someone has better info about this, please let me know.

And with these additions, Runaway Boys is quite much handed and over. There is single from Bolivia ( yes, Bolivia ) with serial Ariola ASS-1110 backed with Rock This Town as b-side and similar sleeve to debut lp. I even don´t dare to dream of getting that one day.....

Next thing on this blobloblo.. will be, of course, second single "Rock This Town". Again, plenty of different versions.
To be continued....
