Just picked one up today at a record booth in an antique store. Also have an OG Live at Shepperton and Black Album from same booth. My pink sleeve has a printed sticker type thing on top right picture that says FACTORY SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE. Do not see that in any of these pics. I don't have any hand etchings either, just the simple chis 120 a and b runouts. Unsure which pressing this actually is. -

There is a version of this single with an alternate middle section I'm told is like the Peel Sessions version. I have only heard it once and couldn't afford it at the time. It had the same cover and there wasn't any other way to distinguish it other than listening that I can . Can anyone shed some light? It is one of the only ones I need to complete my collection.
