Notes

Issued in a standard sleeve and a plain white inner sleeve.
This original release does not have a barcode on the rear of the sleeve. The reissue has a barcode, seen here 25 O'Clock

In the runout matrix data for variant 1 but others are equivalent too:
- on side A, "WOW 1 A-1U-1- 1 1 <" is stamped (and the last "1" in this string is also sideways relative to the other characters), all other characters are hand-etched
- on side B, "WOW 1 B-2U-1- 1 1 2" is stamped (and the last "1" and "2" in this string are also sideways relative to the other characters), all other characters are hand-etched
