FURTHER NOTES REGARDING THIS WITHDRAWN PRESSING

Mike's new LP Platinum (V2142) was released in November 1979. This LP was also to produce a rare track as the first 30.000 copies included the track Sally, which was written for his then companion Sally Cooper. Virgin, and especially Branson himself, decided at the twelfth hour that the track was not suitable for release and replaced it with Into Wonderland. Unfortunately, due to Virgin wanting to release the LP for Christmas they released records with printed covers and labels crediting the original Sally track, whilst utilising the new Into Wonderland. It therefore became impossible, when only looking at the cover, to tell which version was which. Luckily it was then discovered that by looking at the matrix number scratched on the record surface you could determine that the version featuring 'Sally' had the number V2141-B-1 or V2141-B-2 whilst the Into Wonderland version carried the matrix V2141-B-3 or later. Today the original version is one of the most sought after recordings.
