    looking for a decent copy of just the sleeve if any one has....

      Could be other UK pressing. Can’t tell the difference.
      There needs to be a section “Key difference”, I can’t look through 40 matrix numbers.

        I currently have 2 copies of this pressing, and while I will likely sell one as I don't need a duplicate, they both sound outstanding. An excellent pressing IMHO.

          I have exactly the same version without the printed inner sleeve with the lyrics (just a sleeve with important notice advice). It's a version imported from UK to by FNAC.
