 Give it a couple of minutes, and if you're not familiar with the title, you may well recall the tune.

 I can see the distinction for price coding purposes, I have to say that having just recorded this, on Polydor Deluxe, and Roxy Music's Avalon, which has a Polydor Super Deluxe code, I think they are significant of something:

The vinyl quality is incredible!

While not 180g, so only a standard thickness, both titles are immaculate vinyls... silent in the quiet parts of the music, and the sound quality is truly brilliant... the bass is tight, deep and rich, and the clarity of everything else is amazing.

I don't know if they used the much vaunted virgin vinyl for these codes, or whether the vinyl is just more refined, or of a smoother consistency when they pressed them... but very impressed with them.

 It's a useful rule of thumb, but like everything else throws up inconsistencies. We'll get there one way or another.

 Ah... well that's confusing!

I did wonder whether to add it as Polydor Deluxe for a moment, especially as it's on the spine too... but decided to simply follow the label.

Maybe that's a good general rule of thumb for any submissions?

 Descriptions such as 'Deluxe', 'Super' and so on were the Polydor/Phonogram equivalents of price codes, and so weren't part of the label's name as such.

 Don't have the inner sleeve I'm afraid, but having moseyed about online, have seen some with it.

Also, this is technically Polydor Deluxe label, as printed on upper right rear cover, but labels only show Polydor.
