    I have a copy of this with the variant 1 runout groove stamp, but the A-side label is cut off and only shows the first three tracks. Looks like a misprint. Anyone else seen one of these? No Dancing is partially cut off and the rest of the a-side is not labeled. The back of the jacket is yellow.

      I have a copy with the same runout number, yellow back cover, but with a gold stamped “FOR PROMOTION ONLY” message.

        I have this with white back cover (not yellow) but the same matching run out numbers?

          Several versions here have the note, "First US pressing with yellow rear sleeve." Does that mean if ours has a white rear sleeve, it's not this version?

            I see a yellow background on the front cover photo, but I don't see any image anywhere showing a "yellow back cover" as described in the notes section.
