    I have 2 copies of this edition and there are 2 things I want to point out:
    - one of the two copies has a small detail in the printing of the barcode numbers (which for both is 0 7567-81735-1 6) which consists of an additional "dot" that appears above the initial zero.
    (Is this a simple printing defect or does it have a meaning?)
    - both copies have a "raised" marking in the center label of the "B" side of the disc, in one it reads EAST (anti-clockwise) and in the other only the letter T and this confirms that the print has been made from the SRC, as described here https://discogs.mejorespelis.org/label/27576-Specialty-Records-Corporation
