 We can tidy it up a bit once we have section breaks available across the worlds.

EDIT: Now done.

 That's just how I did it with The Photos album.

 As i didn't get a reply,have done it this way,feel free to change as you wish.
Matrix side 1 (image 72518) = V 2174-A4 (hand etched) and V and TOWNHOUSE (machine stamped).
Matrix side 2 (image 72519) = V 2174-B3 (hand etched) and V and TOWNHOUSE (machine stamped).
Matrix bonus LP side 1 (image 72520) = VDJ 33 A2 and Tape-M3 (hand etched) and B and 4 (machine stamped).
Matrix bonus LP side 2 (image 72521) = VDJ 33-Bl (hand etched).
Personally,i prefer "Strength Through Joy",a much more unpolished affair,with it's jangling indie guitars,and fairly early electronics.
NB : All images have been deliberately darkened to enhance legibility.
