As rumour has it, Dwid from Integrity and Tony Brummel from Victory Records fell out over a personal beef not long after In Contrast Of Sin was released, resulting in the band and label parting ways and the ingle being repressed on Dark Empire. A few years later it seemed both Victory and Integrity needed each other and the relationship was renewed.

The very first copies of the initial pressing released by Victory were on red vinyl (limited to 100) and only available for trade. Tony was asking for Star Wars toys as trades at the time. The sleeve art on the above listing is correct, but I don't know what the deal is with "orange transparent"...

That would make sense... I have heard of and seen the gold vinyl copies. As far as the number of red made, I would love to find out where the number 200 came from. I still have the old ads from Victory that I got in the mail before the record came out, and they say it was 100. I could scan one if I ever get around to locating them in my storage. Maybe Tony will see this and tell us what the deal is. (unlikely!) For severe rarity on this record, I guess this version takes the cake: http://www.flickr.com/photos/guav/4296434344/in/set-72157623099808509/ (red vinyl with "Arkham Asylum" cover that was supposedly limited to 5!) **** UPDATE: The previous photo may very well be a bootleg. But a page I saw says the following is the original version direct from Dwid : http://scourgedaggerandchain.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/integ-joker-sleeve2.jpg?w=500

I guess 'orange transparent' is the 'gold' vinyl 2nd press. As far as I know there were 200 copies on red.
