EUR etched & (EDP) logo oval stamped in runouts denotes a [l214688] pressing. The very similar Terre Haute pressing, Paradise Theatre, should be used if both T1 and the encircled EDP logo are present in the runouts.

This release features a single label on A side that shows tracks on both sides. B side has no label and is laser etched with the STYX logo and mirrored mermaids from the Paradise Theatre columns.

STERLING stamped on sides A and B.
On Variant 5, a single letter B is stamped directly opposite the cat# string in the runouts of Side A.

Theater is spelled 2 different ways throughout the cover and label - Theater on the back cover, within the text of the newspaper cut-out and credits inside the gatefold, and on the label; Theatre on the front cover and in the lyrics for A.D. 1928

Printed in U.S.A. on inner jacket and spine.
