IMPORTANT: When buying this item from anywhere-ALWAYS check that the catalogue no on the sleeve back and also on the spine is the suffixed one with an 'R'  (for red would you believe !) = PCSPR717 however EMI were too lazy or disinclined to change that number on the labels which remain the same as for the black vinyl issues.

Some dealers are tempted to swop sleeves (with a normal non 'R' cover) if a tatty 'red' one comes in to stock !
