W German/Benelux Notes. Pressing Identifiers:
'GEMA STEMRA BIEM' labels

Despite the UK catalogue sticker, the labels retain their German catalogue numbers.

The red/green stripes that run across the labels are in a slightly different position than on Benelux Pressing 1 (see previous page). The lettering on the spine is in white.

The sides are not named 1 - 4. Instead, both discs have their own catalogue number (Virgin 300 277 / Virgin 300 278) and the labels on both LPs state Side 1 and Side 2.

Inner gatefold sleeve layout is the same design as all West German pressings.

The album includes the unique version of No One Is Innocent.
