There were 2 80s Black Capitol rainbow band label pressings.

This pressing, 1986-87, was pressed at Allied ('ɑ' logo) with metal plating done by Specialty (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. These Allied pressings also have more etching data on the run-out. The vinyl is a little more flexible/bendy than the Capitol pressings.

[url=http://www.discogs.com/release/2904171]The other one[/url] was pressed 1983-1985 at Capitol's Jacksonville plant as identified by a "O" in the matrix runout. Both sides stamped MASTERED BY CAPITOL. On some pressings that stamp is only on one of the sides. The label has a dull label finish and has the classic 1" diameter inner-ring notch that surrounds the spindle hole. The vinyl is a little more firm than the SRC and Allied pressings, and some pressings are translucent (hold the disc up to a bright light and you can seed through it).
