This version has different and completely stamped runouts and a slightly different pressing ring around center hole, compared to The Album.
Matrix / Runout #s: Variant 1 has a pressing mark of three signs in the runout rims which should be interpreted as <agi> (see Imprimerie Sorel s this assumption.
Variant 2 has 'CIDIS' in the runouts but the pressing ring denotes it was not pressed by CIDIS (see Ike & Tina Turner - Nutbush City Limits
