"EYE OF THE BEHOLDER", promo CD
  1. Elektra USA 1988, edit version (PR 8028)


"EYE OF THE BEHOLDER", 7";
(release date, 30/10/88)

  1. Elektra USA 1988, white label promo with Elektra sleeve (7-69357)
    Notes:
    Some copies come in Elektra sleeves, normal picture sleeves or plain sleeves, this makes little difference to the value

  2. Elektra USA 1988, red/black labels with "Breadfan" on the b-side & label typo (7-69357)
    Notes:
    Label incorrectly shows track length as "5:89"; Also has misspelled "Hatfield" in track credits

  3. Elektra USA 1988, red/black labels with "Breadfan" on the b-side (7-69357)
    Notes:
    Label incorrectly shows track length as "5:89"; has corrected "Hetfield" in track credits

  4. Elektra USA 1988, grey labels in grey `Elektra` or normal cover with "Breadfan" on the b-side (7-69357)
    Notes;
    My grey label version comes in a grey Elektra company sleeve but some copies also come in the standard picture sleeve 


"EYE OF THE BEHOLDER", promo 12";
  1. Elektra USA 1988, edit & album versions with Elektra sleeve, `SP` matrix (ED 5332)

  2. Elektra USA 1988, edit & album versions with Elektra sleeve, `AR` matrix (ED 5332)
    Notes;
    Label says "Taken from the forthcoming album ...And Justice For All" so pre-dates the album
    1st pressings have ST-ED-5332-A-SP on the label
    2nd pressings have ST-ED-5332-A-AR, there is little or no difference in value, view my Elektra page for info on the pressing plants used 

  3. Phonogram/Vertigo England 1988, edit version with full picture sleeve & two inserts (AJFA 112)
    This much sought after 12" has the same artwork as the USA 7" single of "Eye Of The Beholder"
    Inserts are very rare, one mentions that only 500 copies of the promo 12" were made and the other is a reaction sheet for DJ`s to fill out

    Bootleg Copy;

  4. "Phonogram/Vertigo" "England", bootleg copy of English promo, made in Germany late `90`s (AJFA 112)
    Notes;
    Bootleg copies have the matrix # roughly scratched / handwritten into the vinyl, originals have much neater typeset lettering
    The cover is dull whereas originals are shiny, bootleg covers are also printed on heavier card, oddly some copies bear a different demo of the track
