The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death (white label)

~ Release by The Housemartins (see all versions of this release, 8 available)

Annotation

LP has white label instead of the standard black/red Elektra label.
Sticker on front says: Free inside Bonus 7" Single "Caravan of Love" which is the double-a promo in the regular sleeve. Otherwise visually the same as standard pressing.

Seems to be better quality vinyl than the standard press too (both in hand)
