    Which French pressing is this? My copy is almost identical except the etched runouts are "10" on side A and "2" on side B. The back cover (top right corner) has all the same information, but is smaller. My copy is described exactly as at this link: http://pinkfloydarchives.com/DFrLPPF

    Anyone have any info on the differences between the two?

      Hi everyone. I publish this question (and I hope it will become a comment) in all the pages of DSOTM, from the 2th to the 7th issue, because I have to remove a doubt. It's a question I haven't found an answer to on Google. Are the posters and stickers inserts identical to the first UK edition or does something change? I have the first edition A2 / B2 (solid light blue prism), but I need to complete it with posters and stickers, so I was thinking of getting them from the reissue, which are cheaper. It's possible?
