  1. elektra/speciality usa 84, two sided album version white label test press (5026)
    NOTES;
    one known copy exists, located in England, owned by Hector
    labels on this state that side A has the edit version and side B the album version, however this plays the album version on both sides - my guess is this was a mistake 
    label detail; MTX. NO. STED A3

  2. elektra/specialty usa 84, one sided edit version white label test press (5026)
    NOTES;
    one copy located in England, owned by Hector
