    First, the labels says "Made in "and, second, this issue is pressed at MPO, a french pressing plant. Therefore, it can't be an UK pressing.

        My version has a misprint on the Inner Sleeve These Boots is shown as The Boots.

          This pressing sounds great, as good as this album can probably get considering the bad production. I would recommend this for people who want the original album without "These Boots" removed.
