1989 - 1st press Pink 60 pcsThe color vinyl was suppose to be maroon, to match the
cover, but the pressing plant couldn't mix the color
properly and came up with pink. After pressing a number
of the pink they stopped and tried remixing the color, this
time coming up with orange. To make life easier Jordan
just had them do the 1000 on orange so the mix was created
when changing from pink to orange without cleaning the
presses. The actual invoice states 60 on pink and makes no
mention of the mix, so how many of the pure pink versus how
many of the orange pink mix exist is not known, but it is
safe to say that that there are more than 10 of the mix as
was originally believed. What is more, did the mix of
colors count as orange or pink on the invoice? So are
there 60 pure pink and a number of the mix color, or are
there a even fewer pure pink and a large number of mixed?
To add insult to injury, the mix as been referred to as
swirl when actually the pure pink, mix, and orange are all
technically swirls. The only way to tell is by comparing
colors.
