Contains a "Subscribe To..." fan club flyer and an inner-sleeve with credits (cf. images).

Similar to Undercover in terms of front sleeve : only the triangle sticker is missing. Also has the "Includes Undercover of the night" sticker like Undercover. (On this record, the "Includes...." and the back sleeve sticker (the tongue on the butt) are sticked on the plastic film while the others are under it.)

Very similar to Undercover in terms of runout : has the "STERLING" and "SRC" logo stamped, along with a "SPAR" etching and a "B-#####"-type matrix number. This usually indicates that the plating (processing / metalwork) was done at Specialty Records Corporation but the record itself was actually pressed at Allied Record Company, according to the profils of both companies.

The processing of lacquer disc "metalwork" / "plating" should have also been subcontracted out to Sheffield Lab Matrix, denoted by "△ 0000" / "△ 0000-X" etching in the matrix/runout area.

If someone knows if there is an explanation for the " o- " etching in the runout area (cf. image), say it here.
