Notes

With printed inner sleeve (weight: ~48g), and poster (weight: ~48g).
Glossy cover. Without the debossed EMI stamp on the back. Weight: ~69g.
Runout inscriptions are stamped, and contain no additional inscriptions except those transcribed in the BAOI section as matrix/runout.

There are two 1977 versions of this album. With and without debossed EMI stamp.
In comparison to the version with the debossed EMI stamp on the back cover, this version without the debossed EMI stamp has cover and inner sleeve made out of a thicker material. Photo side of the inner sleeve has stronger colors, colors are more vivid. "EMIL Schult" logo is darker gray. Lastly, labels' surface is matte, and is slightly textured, uneven/rough to the touch, in comparison to the other version.
Both versions have identical runout inscriptions, and identical information on the cover's front, back and spine (positioning, and typeface/font).

Release 75547: version with the debossed EMI stamp on the back cover. Weight: Cover ~62g / Inner sleeve ~20g/ Poster ~48g - poster seems to be identical for both versions. Other differences as well, material thickness (i.e. inner sleeve especially), color shade differences (i.e. inner sleeve, image side, less vivid colors), labels' texture...
