7' collection: Twilight Zone 1981 single released in red, clear and black colours. All have the same and just two tracks. UK pressings.





Twilight Zone was the first single taken from the 1981 Killers album. It was released in 02/03/1981 and reached the number 31 in the UK top chart.
This single in UK, in 7' format, was released in no less than three colours, red, clear and black, as you can see on the photo. The colours of the sleeves, back sleeve photo and the songs are the same on this three UK editions.
There is a super rare one in brown colour but you guys can rest because its not even official. The thing was that they screw up the mixing colour at the factory and by mistake came out a brown one. As I said it was not released although to have a copy of this one you guys must sell your house, minimum!!!!
The rare Holland press of this single has the front sleeve in a blue colour instead of green like this ones. Its not easy to get a hold on one copy of that pressing. I will put a link bellow the catalog number so you guys can see it.
There is also a super rare Spanish pressing with the colours of the front sleeve, kind of black and white, almost. To have one of this is also very expensive, but not impossible.


Songs are:

Side A: Twilight Zone, album version
Side B: Wrathchild, album version.


Cat.nº: UK EMI 5145 ( this cat.nº is the same for the 3 editions)
