Notes:

This version is the Sonic pressing plant variation. It can be identified by the "SON" etched into the vinyl of the runout grooves and by the arrangement of the text on the side B label, which, unlike on the other versions, track B1 appears printed above the center-hole and separate from the rest of the track-list. 

Likewise, unlike, for example, the Monarch pressing, "STEREO" does not appear anywhere on the labels of this version. Other identifying aspects of the label include the side specifications, which appears as "Side A" and "Side B" on the labels instead of "Side 1" and "Side 2" along with the matrix numbers, which are enclosed within parentheses on this version. 

Comparatively, like the other original US pressing, this version was issued in a picture jacket with a die-cut fold-out flap. The fold-out flap cannot be found on the subsequent pressings.
