My copy is definitely this one, and an early pressing as it's wine-red vinyl. However, it has one hype sticker ('Includes special 4-colour poster') on the front. I don't think that the stickers on the front are necessarily good indicators of the different pressings. -
The first UK pressings, July 1977, were of PYE's wine red vinyl (evident when held to a strong light), and the gatefold cover a good quality matte cardboard. Detailed insert included.
Few months later, the transition was to standard black vinyl, and the cover with shiny exterior, more susceptible to wear. Insert also present. -
I have an odd edition of this release. It contains both LPs in one sleeve (NOT a gatefold release), as well as a black bar across the bottom back cover with manufacture credits. Bar code reads: 0422-813588-14.
