Edited 6 years agoI have a version with the record that matches the original UA UK pressing (eg UA labels) but in a sleeve that has the light blue lettering like the 1987 Fame pressing (and is not embossed). Incidentally my version of the Liberty pressing (year unknown) has a textured sleeve not mentioned in the description (similar to Unknown Pleasures). Anyway, further confusion about pressings...

Just a quick note for completists re the inner sleeve which is 'PATENT Nos. 1,125,555 978 MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN'

I found this Information on the Buzzcocks Discographie at www.buzzcocks.com
Has anyone further Informations about this Mispress? Thanx!!
"Ed Muccini notes: 'I have a copy of the Love Bites album. It's the
original UK pressing on United Artists #UAG30197. What's strange
about this copy is that one side is a misprint. Instead of the
Buzzcocks, it's some soul or disco group. I have not played it in
many years but I think the singer is female. The markings etched
into the vinyl by the label are: side 1 - bilbo UAG 30179 A - 10 (the
G in UAG seems to have been struck several times) side 2 - UAG 30197
B - 10 WHAT ? * The correct stock number is UAG 30197. Both sides
of the label are correct with track list's, times, etc. I knew this
is a first pressing becuase at the time I owned a record store that
specialized in imports, punk, and new wave.'
Marshal Peters notes [regarding Ed Muccini's mispressed copy]: 'What
you've got there is a miss-press with another United Artist label-
mate of the era, Maxine Nightingale. Her album - Love Lines - has a
similar catalogue number (and title) to Love Bites - UAG 30179,
so obviously someone at the pressing plant got the last two digits on
the plates mixed-up which explains how this got out.'"
