I've got a ada31 copy with my funny valentine label both sides.
PhillK-Hamster45 Nov 29, 2016
My copy has the following Matrix/Runout (Side A) ADA 31 - A3 A CAPTAIN PORKY PRIME CUT EG- WEA TIP! (Side B) ADA 31 - B-3 EG PECKO 2-2 An "A" seems to be scratched out before the B-3. I'm not certain there is an exclamation mark on Side A , could be an "I", but the WEA TIP! and the 2-2 is lightly etched, compared to the rest.
