i have a lexicon devil ep (scam-101) with red labels, i also have a 2nd lexicon devil ep (scam-101) A-side label is red, the B-side label is turquoise. the vinyl is extremely thick just like an original misfits cough cool 7″. i bought both of these at green hell on cherokee & hollywood blvd back in the mid 80′s. i was told when pressing the record, they ran out of red labels so they had made some with turquoise labels, im assuming the turquoise labels are very rare because i have not seen another copy for sale/trade since i bought mine. this under valued rarity had a pressing of 1000 total including all colored sleeves. if anyone has more info please contribute.

there is a “fan club” edition out there. the sleeve is red and looks the same, but the vinyl is red too. i saw one on ebay, i believe it was $8 from the Rare Necessities store.
but if it is the original look here for prices that the record went for on ebay:

i like the guitar sound. the germs without darby is like the dead kennadys without jello. not the same. i have always wanted to hear the germs.

14eye, check the matrix number. What’s the color of the sleeve?

are you sure it’s not a bootleg?
