A bit of a story re: the Universal L.P. from Christophe from Dirty Punk -  1,000 copies were pressed on green vinyl, as you know. The pressing plant pressed 30 extra copies just in case there were any faults, there wasn't so Christophe had 30 extra records, unfortunately there were only 1,005 printed sleeves, 5 of the sleeves were used for the 5 black vinyl test pressings, each one individually numbered on the label and on the rear of the sleeve as the 1,000, as for example TP1.  2 of the test pressings went to Captain Oi as a thank you for allowing Dirty Punk to press the records, Christophe kept one for himself, 1 was given to Paul Mileman as a competition prize on the official U.K. Subs site (don't know which number) to guess Tezz's  musical talents, and Christophe couldn't remember where the other one went. The other 1,000 were the limited edition green vinyl issues. Therefore Christophe cut and pasted some images from the Universal sleeve onto the 30 plain white gatefold sleeves, and Charlie and Jason signed the copies of this very limited edition of Universal.
