The Dutch release with the additional price code "-320" has the Motorhead logo
in grey (some call it silver) on the front as well as on the back. An interesting thing is that the swastika on
the horn
on the photo of the snaggletoth mask on the back has been removed, just like on the German pressing.
At least some copies also got a round yellow
sticker on the front sleeve saying "De musicassette van Iron Fist: loeigoedkoop rabais de poids,
la cassette: un prix inbattable!". On the back the cat no for vinyl and tape is printed in the top
right corner and the
LC number is in the lower right corner. It is possible that this sleeve also was used for German pressings.
The label for side 1 is the same black snaggletoth label as on the UK
pressing but
with the addition of the cat no to the right. Side 2 has the standard yellow Bronze label with both GEMA and
STEMRA to the right and LC number to the left just beneath the LC number. The only difference to the German
pressing is that it says "Ariola Benelux b.v. haarlem" and that the blue small print is tighter.
The inner sleeve is the same picture inner
sleeve with lyrics on the other side as the UK
pressing but not on glossy paper. There is also a coupon in the top right corner on the lyric side that can be
posted and in return you are offered a Motorhead patch. I wonder what that patch looked like? In October 2012 I received an email from Gernot
who said "A friend of mine gave it to me as a present some several years ago,
pretending that he sent the coupon and received this patch for that!". I am not sure if Gernot really meant "pretending" or if it should have been
"claiming". Anyway, a nice patch but if I had been 12 years and received that I would probably have been a bit disapointed about the size...
