Is there anyone out there willing to scan a high resolution image of their OBI and add it? My copy didn’t have one and I’d love to print one for my collection. Thanks in advance!

I noticed that on the Rock with you music, in the chorus, you won't have this snap, a kind of snare drum that you hear in the other more recent versions. in fact, the original version does not have this click, you can listen to it here https://youtu.be/koq5sKCW1Ec And I also noticed that the beginning of the music is different, it is not the same mix than on the remastered version and I find that it has more charm
