“This version has labels with Roman/Arabic disc numbering (sans serif, serif) on labels (1, 11), and the matrix on the right of the spindle hole is center-justified. It has prominent text at the bottom of back sleeve: MUSIC FROM THE FILM COURTESY MGM RECORD CORPORATION. It has a pressing ring about 2.75" in diameter, and contains both [l495875] and [l457750] markers in the runouts. The absence of Sonic catalog numbers from all sides (K-####) in the etchings makes it most likely that Sonic provided the metalwork and that ARP actually pressed the discs. Some similar versions are: [r534008] has Roman/Arabic disc numbering (1, II), and the matrix is left-justified. It does not have the MGM text on rear sleeve bottom. [r4191318] has Arabic disc numbering (1, 2) and the matrix is left-justified. [r=13163490] has Roman disc numbering (I, II) and the matrix is left-justified. [r15335763] has labels as above but a narrower pressing ring about 1.5" in diameter. [r8423808] is identical in most regards, but "Album 1" legend is far closer to "enterprise" on Album 1 A-side.
