SMXT 3A-1U-1-3 TOWNHOUSE DMM//SMXT 3B-1U-1-2 D
format
12" with white labels in a plain black die-cut sleeve with black and white sticker.
release date
February 1989
additional information
A large number of the first pressings of the commerical 12" were pressed up with white labels and
housed in black die-cut sleeves with title stickers, and then sent out as promos. They were relatively common when first issued
but have becoming increasingly rare.
(Some sellers call them test pressings due to the white labels. They are not test pressings as a large number were made and a test pressing
wouldn't have been housed in a sleeve with a sticker).
