    I'm trying to figure out which version of "Ride the Lightning" I have. I typed ST-E-60396-1-A-AR in the search bar and this is the only version that came up. Every script and stamped info on the label and runout match exactly, and the 9 60396-1 is printed on the spine as indicated. The only thing i can't figure out is that the jacket has no foil promo stamp and no white labels. Anyone know what's going on here?
