TITLE: HOT COALS FROM THE FIERY FURNACE

DETAILS: Various Live

Release A - Hoffman Avenue Records - Matrix HAR164 - B&W insert wrap - Multicoloured vinyl - picture labels
Release B - Hoffman Avenue Records - Matrix HAR164 - B&W insert - red/yellow-black or red/blue & black vinyl - custom labels
Release C - Hoffman Avenue Records - Matrix HAR164 - B&W insert wrap - black vinyl - blank labels
Release D - Matrix TMQ 5468 - obviously copied inserts (or wraps) of various colours - black vinyl (some of these are on coloured vinyl - blank labels)

The first release of the album was the pink insert (300 copies) on red vinyl with black specks, then orange and then yellow inserts. There does appear to be some variants with original multicoloued custom label LP's but with single sheet inserts instead of the wrap. No information on how common this is - but the single sheet inserts are usually yellow or pink (but there are yellow wraps as well). It's possible that an entire run was released with just a front insert - but the original LP pressings inside.

Recently seen a black vinyl version (release C above) with what appears to be original inserts.
