OK, I need folks’ opinions and expertise beyond my own.  I’ve looked until my eyes are blurry.  Is my copy dark blue or light blue.  Pics of mine next to those on PJ Collectors:

    To me it obviously looks way more toward the dark than light, but I don’t know if I’m seeing what I want to see.  I’d be happy with either, but it is my understanding the dark blue is more rare?

    Looks like dark blue to me judging by the pictures. But you can always confirm it by the Matrix runout numbers etched on the vinyl with discogs.com

    All of the matrices on discogs seem the exact same, regardless of color, at least for the promos.

    I can confirm all  Matrix  are the same across all  colors. This  looks dark to me for sure though. No idea  the run though - I think it was 100 total blues  (light and dark) - though I  don't think it  was  ever confirmed -  nor was it ever confirmed that there are two distinct pressings I don't believe, but there is clearly a difference to me at least.

    Thanks Nuzz.  I’ve looked at threads on here and have seen the debate and saw one person said there were definitely two blues but less of the dark leaked out.

    Paul is the only one that I would trust that says there is 2 blues and I completely disagree w him, lol.

    I still think that the darker ones were the first to be made and were lighter as the rest were printed.

    That is my thoughts and they aren't worth squat, lol!

    Hahahaha, 

    My contact worked at the plant back in the day dude. He told me this expressly. If the runs were a gradual bleeding of the blue we would see all manners of shades as the thing got lighter. There are two distinct presses I have - a very pale blue, and a dark blue. They do not even look like they could be from the same colouring at all. 

    For the record I see the OP's as the dark variant
