Hi, could do with some help on this Album. I have a copy which is essentially identical to this (label, cover, credits, etc.) but the centre is recesses from the spindle hole out to 63mm (2.5") dia and the runouts are etched, not stamped. It's def a UK version. Runouts etched UTIL.1 A3 and UTIL.1 B3. The period is centrally justified, not at the bottom. There is another mark on both sides which looks like a stamped D but is hard to make out/ badly stamped. I can't see any other releases like this. I will add this as another release if no one has any ideas. Thanks

Bought this record at Billy's sale table at his first Canadian show, opening for Echo and the Bunnymen. -
My original UK "black sticker" 12" sounds great. I think I paid $7 for it NM. Billy made the 80's a pleasure to listen to.... -
