    Well, after a lot of looking at the different picture variations I came to the conclusion that if you find this exact layout AND it's on translucent blue vinyl then you might've found yourself a double RL version. Worked out for me and what a great sounding album!

      All the individual releases that have been entered for this title is approaching ridiculous and almost antithetical to the idea behind Discogs. There are entries for the same album multiple times, some mentioning "KC-600", some mentioning "translucent purple" (even though those are the same) and some mentioning both... as well as every color combination and orientation of imagery variant though they've nothing to do with the album pressing itself.
      Identify your copy by the matrix runnouts and vinyl type and call it a day. Note the cover variant and provide photos if someone really needs to know for a sale. This is just silly otherwise.
      One of my two copies is THIS release (here on this page) identical in matrix, tc-600 type, year, and even the "BRY" color order, but the photo imagery is entirely different for both front and back. I'm not making a new entry. It's the same record.
