This flexi disc was given away free. Copies were piled on record shop counters for people to pick up and take away. Factory said it would never become a collectors item as they would continue producing them as long as there was a demand ... but they didn't. None the less this record is far from rare.

Matrix numbers are the same as the regular UK issue,
This appears to be a test pressing or perhaps an unofficial press made by a Lyntone employee.
It would appear that only a handful were pressed.

There is also a black vinyl version of this test pressing which is much rarer than the green one

The Öther Söund' fanzine requested permission to house a bunch of the Evatone flexis in special sleeves and give them away with
their fanzine. Factory gave its blessing to the idea so long as no money was made from the record. Buyers got a fanzine plus a flexi
disc in a black and white, number stamped, folded paper cover in a sealed plastic bag with a printed piece of paper along the top.
The paper label along the top said "JOY DIVISION" and "$3.99". The package also included a "Sleep Chamber" loose promo sticker.

Some copies were issued with the same individually numbered folder cover, but without the fanzine or Sleep Chamber insert sticker.
Same plastic bag and printed piece of paper along the top.
