Fix - Flexi Cover Front (Short Version) - scan of real item -

Remarks

• Recorded only on one side; there is no b-side. The recording is in mono and plays at 45 rpm.

• The cover consists of a b/w computer print on plain paper, which does not fully enfold the flexi

to let show the vinyl colour to the outside.

• The flexi is available in clear, blue and green vinyl; of the latter two no picture has surfaced as yet.
  

NOTE:

• This flexi comes in two version with apparently the same cover and definitely the same catalogue#,

but the song lengths differ. While the shorter version fades out at around 2:00 min., the longer track

plays on until about 2:40 min. Both versions do, however, not give the song in full length.

Source

• Fix was originally released on The Reptile House EP.
• A track of Fix is also featured on the b-side of the very rare double-sided Gimme Shelter - Fix flexi.

It is not known, however, whether the long or the short version was used for that item.

Comparing these pictures shows clearly the different length of the grooves: the groove on the left side is longer than the groove of the flexi on the right side.
