My copy of this album has completely different labels. They have the older common grey A&M design and feature both catalogue numbers (SP-6021 & SF-2030).
On the back cover and on the spine of the cover they also use a cataloguenumber SF-2030, where SF is from SIEGFRIED. This is probably the sub-label contractor of this record.
It's the only 'Big World'-edition (that I know of) that comes in a fold-out sleeve!
