| | @Beatcrazy: No, I'm not collecting them either. I 'just' happen to have 3 different version of the stock copy. Until a week ago, I wasn't aware that these copies were different.
And because of you remark on "Zémeo" in the Yugoslavian pressing, I noticed that label variations B and C name track B1 "Zémio" and on label R it is "Zémeo". On all US-covers it is named "Zémio" |

| | Thanks W.B.lbl. I actually was already aware of that, thanks to your great contributions before on 45cat.com, but it's just too much to collect. I already do it for singles.
And by the way, is there a general rule about which vinyl pressings are translucent? I found out, that many Joe Jackson US 7" and 12" pressings are. |

| | Maybe not, but . . . if you see those codes on A&M LP's, the plants in question are where they originated from. |

| | No, I'm not going to start to collect label variations of album pressings... (hopefully)! ;-) |

| | Finally added the labels of 2 label variations.
The first 2 have a little C printed left of the A&M logo.
The second 2 a little R printed left of the A&M logo.
Probably indicating that they are pressed in different factories. |
