Made In U.S.A.

Originally released in the UK as a limited edition 3x12" (45 RPM) titled Metal Box, which was packaged in a round metal box.
Warner Brothers in North America didn't want to pay for the extra packaging and triple vinyl, so it was changed to a 2x12" (33 RPM) in a standard gatefold sleeve, and the title changed to Second Edition. Virgin UK used this format & title for a reissue in early 1980 once the original Metal Box sold out.
"Swan Lake" was titled "Swan Lake (Death Disco)" on Metal Box, and is a slightly different version of the track "Death Disco" that was released as a single in June, 1979.
Although the album has a Warner Bros. catalog number, the album cover and labels use the Island logo.
In the matrix, the "✶," "STERLING," and "0" are stamped. All other information is etched.

My copy was purchased brand new in 1985 or 1986 from a small town record store. It has the Island logo on the gatefold jacket's rear, but has Warner Bros. labels. The matrix numbers match except for the fact that I do not see an asterisk on any of the four sides and on sides 1 and 3 there is a *very light* etched "#4".
