Notes
Monarch pressing, indicated by "MR" in a circle, stamped in runouts. All other runout markings are etched.
Ardent used three pressing plants for the first pressing but Larry Nix cut four sets of masters, with two sets going to Monarch where they appear to have been used interchangeably:
Side A runouts:
• STXS-0178-1 with an inscription by Chris Bell "Steamroller Creation"
• STXS-0178-2 with "BIG" in a six-pointed star.
Side B runouts:
• STXS-0261-1 with an inscription "PRUDENCE"
• STXS-0261-2 with no inscription
Additional runout markings include:
A stylized cursive "P" or 'half-knot' symbol etched above "Side 1" on both versions.
The letters "JLA" or "VLA" occur on both sides above the Monarch delta (Δ or Δ̷) number.
"I" marks after Δ̷17069 on the STXS-0178-1 A-sides: these appear to be plate counters.
Promotional copies may have a white promo sticker and a "Suggested Cuts' sticker. Later promos include a 12" x 12" insert with reviews, but the sleeves may be marked only with a 1/4" punched hole (see Images).
