There were 2 80s Black Capitol rainbow band label pressings. This one was pressed 1983-1985 at Capitol's Jacksonville plant as identified by a "O" in the matrix runout. may or may not be stamped MASTERED BY CAPITOL. The label has a dull label finish and has a 1" diameter inner-ring notch that surrounds the spindle hole. The vinyl is a little more firm than the SRC pressings, and some pressings are translucent (hold the disc up to a bright light and you can seed through it).

The [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/8006448]other pressing[/url], 1986-87, was pressed at Specialty Record Corporation (The large S surrounding R and C stamped in the run-out), also identified by smooth indent/notch approx 3/4" from edge of label and glossy finish. The SRC pressings also have more etching data on the run-out. The vinyl is a little more flexible/bendy than the Capitol pressings.
