    I own a copy with CBS 32444 on the spine.
    The vinyl has a red CBS label , and there is a NicePrice sleeve
    Can anyone help me out with which pressing it is?

      Does anyone know which version came with a blue / yellow lyric inner sleeve?

        This was hard for me to First Pressing but soon was able to. The C and B at the end of the numbers is rotated 90 degrees out from the last numbers. So spin the Record 90 degrees and you will faintly see the C and B. Barely

          I have a 1st pressing & they are very thin, but mine came with the double-sided promo poster.

            Rather thin slice of wax for a 1st press UK. Still, the album kicks ass.
