Title : THIS GUN'S FOR HIRE
Support: 5 LP
Matrix: PAL
Producer: Paladin records
Vinyl: Black

Notes:
'Paladin' labels (have gun will travel), hard cartoon box. B/w photo with golden title on front. There are at least two versions of the label, other one came with two colour pictures. "Paladin labels" were put on first copies.
Some copies (not clear if they are a repress) had different Matrix - PAL A-J - and a stronger box.
Repressed on KANDO records, matrix HGWT1959, with different disc labels (Wire P) and matrix numbers. Some pressings have blank-black labels. Rear cover on 1 gold version is different, with additional ornaments. The Wire P labels has phrases from each song in place of the right song title, so "Dancing in the dark" is "This guns for hire" and "Candy's room" is "The blood rushs in my vains" : who wrote them obviously was not speaking english (in the better case).
