Similar to release Kurtis Blow - Kurtis Blow, but with a different label layout and pressed at a different plant. On the labels for this release, sides are listed as 1/2 instead of A/B. Left of the center hole lists Stereo on first line, Side 1/2 on second line, and the pressing plant number 26 in smaller font below. All catalog and release numbering is to the right of the center hole. Additionally, there is a small "206" on the back sleeve below all of the album info. Other releases may have a number here as well, but it differs from the 206.

26 on labels and PRC-C in runouts denotes a PRC Recording Company, Compton, CA pressing.
