-
My copy has everything (matrix, runouts, etc) but the front barcode which is that of the later reissues with 0 77778 62281 9 as the barcode printed on the cover no sticker came with mine. Weird I don’t know if mine is an OG 91 pressing or a 21st century reissue it’s confusing
-
This submission could be missing [LP Icon] 211 316 and "Printed in the EU" seems questionable for 1991. Mine from 1991 has the same matrix but Made in the UK is printed on the labels. Can't see any mention of EU.
