There are three U.S. first pressings with the original embossed plastic sleeve:
• Runouts with -1 matrix numbers (without additional letters/numbers) correspond to the Pitman pressing. The normal P may be extremely faint or missing altogether (as on Variant 1 here). Stamped plate marks opposite the matrix are standard for Pitman (and do not generally occur at Terre Haute or Santa Maria).
• Runouts with -1A and/or -1B matrix numbers (Variant 2, here) are the Santa Maria pressing. (See also the Santa Maria test pressing and promo.) Look for a faintly-etched S and/or a backwards-tilted I or \ before the matrix number.
• Runouts with the -1-2 matrix numbers and an etched T (Variant 3, here) were pressed at [l403953] but do not yet have a separate sub.

USA 1st press with tan Reprise label.
Labeled as Side I & Side II.
Bagged in clear plastic sleeve with embossed Clear Spot logo on the flap.
This flap tucks into a clear horizontal band across the face of the wallet.
The disc is backed by a printed black on white insert. Insert is back-to-back glued white card, with radius corners at bottom, no Clear Spot logo printed.
Vinyl not in protective paper sleeve; some retail outlets may have included one at their own discretion.
