This release has a misaligned Apple Records logo on the back and does not list "Her Majesty" on either cover or B side label. The front cover photo is more tightly cropped than on other releases, showing less sky (noticeable over the roof tops right) and less of the drainage grating bottom right. The sleeve has arrow spines.

Small Ⓟ on labels.

Copies exist with both black and white generic inners, the order of release (if any) has been debated since original release date.

There a variant of this with all same features apart from having "Her Majesty" printed on the B side label.
