I have a copy with a smoothed sleeve. "All rights reserved" isn't on the back and the title is quoted. The matrix run-outs both have 'IF' at the end. Which version is this?
-
I also have a copy with a textured front and back but rocks are unquoted. There is a P in the runout... -
My copy is embossed both sides but doesn't have ROCKS between quotes, so maybe it falls between an early and a later release ...
-
Only one I've found where one of the matrix numbers match what I have. Side B variant 4. My Side A has the same 1K at the end of matrix. Also, label is JC-34165 as opposed to PC. -

The 8th track's exact title is Lick and "a" promise Could somebody correct this ? It has been wrongly duplicated on all the releases.
