    For many years my holy grail was finding a copy of FLY-002 on pink vinyl (I first saw it spinning on a turntable back in '77) and was SORELY disappointed when I went to the record store only to discover it was pressed on black. I finally found the hot pink copy at a thrift store in the Mission District of San Francisco in 1999. It was a very happy day!

    FLY-016 was issued in Canada on non-translucent gray vinyl with multi-coloured splashes. Its U.S. counterpart appears, as determined to present, on black vinyl only.

    As an aside to the U.S. discography, a number of early Butterfly LPs were issued as early as 1978 by King Records Co. Ltd., Japan. They had identically-styled labels and covers, excepting the record number and the manufacturer's name, which was provided outside the margin of the LP cover near the bottom of the rear panel. They were unique issues for their time given both widespread lack of sophistication in Japan toward the music and established venues/clubs at which to play it. The following represent coloured vinyl comparisons with their U.S. counterparts: GP602(FLY002) hot pink;GP642(FLY004) hot pink;GP599(FLY005)red;GP603(FLY006)blue;GP600(FLY007)white;GP653(FLY009)blue;GP641(FLY010)amber. Others not seen. Sound quality is flawless/superb.

    Just to let you know your site's still being used. It was good to find the story behind my FLY007, (I thought I was seein' things when I pulled that yellow vinyl out of the cover).
