10-track white label promo test pressing of ‘Cake’ with handwritten label. The reverse label is completely blank.
The record is housed in a simple black card sleeve. The inner ring of the A-side is stamped with the catalogue number 828201-1 and the inscribed legend ‘The Exchange Ray’s’. The flip side has the catalogue number as well as the inscriptions ‘When is adore not adore?’ and also ‘The Exchange D.M.M Staff’. Not sure what the latter is referring to.

A one-track promo CD was distributed to the radio and press in the UK. This might be as close as you’ll come to seeing it, as it was limited to approximately 50 copies.
Released as a digital download only. The song was inspired by the late Syd Barrett, a founding member of Pink Floyd.
The single was released with a charity festival in Syd’s honour in Cambridge and London in October 2008. More info here

This is a very scarce European version of the Cake LP. It has black-printed labels and was made in Holland, although the reverse of the outer sleeve has a French promo sticker.
The inner sleeve is printed on a thinner grade of paper than the UK release. The outer sleeve is virtually indistinguishable from the UK version, the only difference being two printed spines rather than one.
The inscribed ‘legends’ – ‘When is adore not adore?’ and ‘The exchange Ray’s’ – are missing from the inner ring of the vinyl.
