Just looked at my vinyl and it has the word unity scratched on it, what's that all about?

I've seen the odd word(s) scratched into other vinyl that I've got in the past.

Can't wait to see my copy. But I'm in the U.S., so probably will take a while...

I like when there are messages etched into the vinyl.

I think that if I ever was to release a 7" single, I'd put a saying like "This space for rent" on it. LOL

Yeah, they probably all do, it's etched on by the people who do the pressing

A lot just have letters and numbers but some have messages or slogans, presumably at the request of the client.

As official store, are you able to confirm whether the limited quantities stated on another site are true or filthy lies? 2,000 vinyl, 1,000 Mementos boxes and 5,000 Deluxe editions are the claims.

Hey I got my bundle yesterday! Haven't listened to all the b-sides yet. I must say Townsend had a great price for this pounds to dollars 7.90 so that's about 12.50 (this included shipping as well) or so American for the two Cd's and 7" and came securely packaged, the 7" was in a stiff card envelope in the package so it wouldn't break. Thanks Townsend

Thought the Unity thing was cool too.

I think this might just be me; on CD1 do most of the stamps seems to represent "Love" or "War"? Have a peek.
