The spanish Road To Ruin – two versions

Road To Ruin was released in Spain in 1978 by Hispavox. It makes it the second Ramones album in Spain after Leave Home the year before.
There are two versions of the spanish Road to Ruin, one has a yellow insert with lyrics. the other has text that wraps around the entire label and a black and white insert.
The labels on the latter have the same design as on the spanish Pleasant Dreams, released in 1981. That, and the different matrix number, makes me convinced that the version of Road To Ruin with black and white insert is a second pressing.
Another difference between the two versions is the weight, the first pressing is pressed on 150 g vinyl, the second on 125 g vinyl.
The sleeve looks the same on both versions, laminated and with the Hispavox logo on the back.

Blitzkrieg Bop on styrene – and vinyl

As I told you here, one of the US versions of the Blitzkrieg Bop-single is pressed on styrene. It is the stock version with Blitzkrieg Bop in mono and Havana Affair in stereo. Just when I found that out I got my hands on another copy of this single – but this time on vinyl.
The record got the same labels but a slightly different matrix number. Both are in plain white die-cut sleeves.
So, if you want them all, there are at least two versions of the US Blitzkrieg Bop Mono 7" with yellow stock labels. Promo and stereo-versions you find here.
