1983-85 Capitol rainbow label with rim text inside colorband.

There were 2 80s black Capitol rainbow band label variations.

This one was pressed 1983-1985 at Capitol's Winchester plant as identified by a "—◁" in the matrix runouts with etched MCR mastering. On some pressings this may only be on one or both sides. The label has a dull/matte finish and has the classic 1" diameter inner-ring notch that surrounds the spindle hole. The vinyl is a little more firm than the later SRC pressings, and some pressings are translucent (hold the disc up to a bright light and you can seed through it).

(The later pressings, 1986-87, were pressed at Specialty Record Corporation, identified by a large S surrounding R and C stamped in the run-out, also identified by smooth indent/notch approx 3/4" from edge of label and glossy finish. The SRC pressings also have more etching data on the run-out. The vinyl is a little more flexible/bendy than the Capitol pressings.)

Comes in custom lyric sleeve sleeve as the original pressings, but now has the correct word "masturbation" in the lyrics of "Give Peace A Chance" instead of "mastication".

Some pressings have red & white "Collectible Lennon" hype sticker attached to shrink (see photo)
