Notes:
First issue, CBS pressing. Released with embossed titles on front sleeve and lyrics printed on a glossy picture liner. This version has the same 1st issue embossed sleeve as the more common EMI pressing ([r=373250) and can be prone to having the full or partial text on the front fade to green due to sun exposure. These matrices are dated '9.87', the month of release, and appear to be derived from the MPO plates ([r=9184436). The disc however is decidedly not pressed at MPO – the MPO markings are scratched out on both sides, and pressing rings do not conform to the MPO version documented here. Its pressing rings strongly suggest a [l553982 pressing, confirmed by the stylized, hand drawn CBS hallmark 'Λ' in the runouts (see pics).
