      There is an earlier withdrawn version without "Strawberry" which has a bassier version of Long Live Rock. The matrix number is WHO2 A//2 MC1 5 KEV. The released versions are WHO2 A//3. Difficult to distinguish the difference.

        I read that there was a withdrawn version of the UK issue. Apparently the bass is distorted on ‘I’m the Face’, both versions are identical except for ‘Srrawberry’ in the run out. I have both versions. When I can find them both out I”ll list the stamper no’s.
