    My cover is of a very rough, almost textured 'recycled-style' surfaced cardboard. Makes all the inks seem screenprinted, giving the magenta/pink a very dark tone. Is this common in this batch of pressings or somehow special? Anyone else owning this version?

      Hi,
      This is the closest reference can find to match my version of this LP BUT There's no Bass Kez Embossed and matrix runout is a bit different (A5/84 S II III and B3/84 S I VI). In this case, is my version of this LP considered as a variant as I don't have The embossed Bass Key? Anyone can help on this?
