Notes:

This is an Allied Record Company pressing as indicated by "ɑ" stamped in runouts, and the letter "A" embossed in the middle of the inner pressing rings on one or both sides. Remainder of runouts etched.

Mastering variant [r=355382 was plated by Allied but pressed by Specialty Records Corporation, which has "AL-SP" in the runouts, and may have "E A S T" embossed on the inner edge of the pressing ring.

Some copies may have a promo gold stamp on the upper right of the rear sleeve and a hype sticker below.

The front and back sides of the jacket are flipped top to bottom, so one will always appear upside down.
