        I have variant 1:
        Matrix / Runout (Side A, variant 1): SRC [logo] GHS-2 4131-A-SR3 MASTERDISK
        Matrix / Runout (Side B, variant 1): SRC [logo] GHS-2 4131-B-SR2 MASTERDISK

        ----HW is under MASTERDISK on Side 2.

        I bought it from HMV Manchester (UK) when it was released. It was an import and still has the price sticker: 6.99.

              This copy is unique from what I can tell. The raining at the end of Raining Blood is a locked groove and the rain sound effect plays on a loop. It’s so HARD.

                I have a very clean jacket and an original inner sleeve. If you’re interested just shoot me a message and we can work something out

                  Anyone have an extra cover (just the outer sleeve) that they'd like to part with?
