    My copy didn’t have a colour photo inner, but instead a plain Made in GB slick paper inner. I’d be interested to know if others are the same. Excellent sound though, booming bass. “GTEN” in the runouts would mean lacquer cut at The Sound Clinic by Graeme Durham.

      I have a copy that is very similar but the runouts are a little different, I don't know if this is a variant or if this warrants a new version.
      Matrix / Runout (Side A label (etched)): GTEN
      Matrix / Runout (Side A label matrix stamped): V 2114 A-9U-1-3-3
      Matrix / Runout (Side B label (etched)): 6 PiL + V-2114-B-7U-1-1-3.
      I have a copy of this for sale as well.
