Original entered here on 45Worlds as a "Special Edition", this release back in 2017 was advertised as being exclusive to Sainsburys UK. It was also touted as being a limited release on blue vinyl.
This now appears to be a case of when a "special edition" is not a special edition....I just took delivery of this album from Amazon Germany (not a third party seller) who are currently selling this for £19.50 which is cheaper than what Sainsburys were originally selling it for (I think).
Same cat #, same barcode, double album on (unlimited!) blue vinyl, just missing the Sainsbury sticker!
You can as at today also order the clear vinyl edition of the "Like a Virgin" album which again was a Sainsburys' only release.
