A 'print shift' has happened due to the way they have overprinted the labels which sometimes happens in manufacturing. This has caused the words 'M.C. Hammer' to appear further away from the Capitol Records logo at the top of the label and a difference in the gap at the bottom of the label where the printed credits end. A Capitol Records, Inc.
