Notes:
- I think I listed the versions in the correct chronological order.
- Please have a look at your copies and tell me if you have one that's any different from the ones I listed.
- I suspect that that a version exists with sunburst labels, with track list centered and with asterisk.
- There's a copy on Discogs with labels similar to version 6 and sleeve similar to versions 3 and 4. I highly suspect that someone swapped the disc/sleeve on that copy.
Variants:
Version 2, with distribution sticker:
Some copies of version 2 come with a distribution code "CB 271" sticker on the back sleeve. I bought my copy at a record store in Metz, France. (My copy | Discogs | Discogs)
Version 2, with price sticker:
Oliviero has a copy of version 2 with a price code "57" sticker on the back sleeve. He bought it from an ebay seller in Bremerhaven, Germany. (Discogs)
Version 2, Switzerland export:
Some copies of version 2 were exported to Switzerland; they have a Swiss yellow VSSL/AFSD price code sticker (VSSL is an acronym for "Verband Schweizer Schallplatten Lieferanten", which translates to "Association of Swiss record suppliers").
