I have two copies of X1.  One has a blue cover and fits the description in the "modules" section as a second printing.  The module is #9043 and the booklet is #9034, as is indicated sometimes happens.  The other one I have has a purple cover, the banner is more red than orange.  It seems to be a third printing, as evidenced by the ISBN and product number on back cover bottom left.  It is dated 1981.  I don't know about the booklet number, as it is sw.  So, is purple an unusual color for this module?  Thanks!

I've seen a ton of different colors for X1. I think they mixed the ink daily.

Does the 2nd print have this product list:

This item is only one of the many popular playing aids for DUNGEONS & DRAGON® Fantasy Adventure Game produced
by TSR Hobbies, Inc. Other playing aids currently available for use with the D&D® game system include:

Dungeon Module B1 (In Search of the Unknown)
Dungeon Module B2 (The Keep on the Borderlands)

Dungeon Module X1 (The Isle of Dread)

       easy)

Dungeon Geomorphs (allows the DM to create thousands of different dungeon levels by arranging them in different
       combinations)

D&D® Player Character Record Sheets (allows players to record all important information about their characters in an
       easy-to-use format)

Other releases of additional items relating to D&D® Adventure Games are planned for the future. TSR Hobbies publishes a
complete line of fantasy and science fiction games and rules which are available from better hobby, game, and department
stores nationwide. If you desire a complete catalog, write to: TSR Hobbies, Inc., POB 756, Lake Geneva, WI 53147.

(Course won't look right in this forum window, but the text/products wise)

I'm curious if the 3rd matches the 2nd's product list? (I know the 1st print is different)

Yes, the back covers are identical with the exception of the addition of the product number and the difference in color.
