3. elektra usa 85, green vinyl, album version with green "title" sticker (ED 5042) 
   NOTES;
   this record is presssed on "glow in the dark" green vinyl, released early `85
   the friday morning sticker is common, the "title" sticker just lists the band name & song title
   the covers for both records are clear plastic "envelope" covers, bootleg copies have regular clear covers
   several copies do not have stickers at all, this is because poor quality glue was used to stick them to the covers
   over the years the stickers start to peel off and many are lost
   numerous copies exist, these copies are worth at least 30% - 35% less then a stcikered copy
   the un-stickered copies are not a different pressing as they are incomplete

   2nd pressings have ST-ED-5044-A-AR, there is little or no difference in value
