    Side B is pressed considerably off-center. Side A is correct. All that aside, this pressing sounds quite terrific.

      My US copy is (also) BLACK vinyl - doesn't seem to have ANY "+" etched on A-side but had 2 "+" on the B-side with 4 dots on the 2nd one.

        There is a facus 2/UK A1/B1 test pressing that has a version of She's Lost Control with the extra drumbeats. I was told 5-7 copies were pressed.
